In my time as a safety professional, I’ve had the uncommon opportunity to get up close and personal with safety programs for more than 60 manufacturing facilities nationwide.
I’ve been a part of one of the most reputable and emulated world class safety programs in the world and, alternatively, have been invited to improve some of the more severely sub par programs. Across this wide range of safety performance though, there is one observed factor that consistently surfaces as the most critical contributor to either the success or failure of each safety program; How does the top level leader for the facility or organization drive safety?
