S.A.F.E. Performance Strategies

For the past seventy years, American business has focused almost exclusively on the three “E’s” (Elements) of the safety success equation…Safety Success = CEO…efforts primarily focused on: Education, Enforcement and Engineering. In large part, organizations, and the safety professionals who guide them, have mastered these traditional strategies quite effectively...we have the programs, we have the paper, we have the compliance—yet, peak performance continues to evade us.

It’s time to move beyond these operational strategies to the more critical components of Safety Excellence—the advanced organizational strategies of “C” (Culture) and “O” (Organization) factors in the business process. This presentation and action planning facilitation sequentially builds a strategy continuum of operational and organizational strategies designed to span the ‘chasm of LOSS’ (Lack Of Safety Strategy) in an organization. ‘SAFE Performance Strategies’ identifies the critical alignment of the seven strategy blocks of safety excellence, and identifies “organizational behavior” as the ultimate “keystone” strategy of success.

In 1997, George Head of the Insurance Institute of America predicted in the National Underwriter:

“Someone will discover a unified theory of accident causation and control.  A new theory about how accidents are caused which will revolutionize the way we deal with risk.”

Enter the new millennium; the future is now! --”SAFE Performance Strategies”. This presentation is based on the author’s Professional Safety May 2000 cover/feature article; “The Architecture of Safety Excellence” © that describes the safety excellence strategy continuum, and identifies ‘synergy’ as the unifying theory of success. The take away from this learning experience is a greater understanding of multiple strategies that comprise Safety’s Architecture For Excellence, and the development of an organization specific (one size fits us) action plan for attaining safety excellence results.

As a result of attending this session, participants will:

• Understand why ‘traditional’ safety strategies, although valid, are not sufficient to achieve safety excellence results.

• Identify the seven core strategies, and requisite alignment necessary to generate peak safety performance.

• Be able to identify, assess, and position their organization along the ‘Safety Excellence Continuum’.

Engage your leadership team in this strategic learning experience, and you to can become a Safety Architect For Excellence in your organization.
