Safe and I Know It. Safety through Story

"Of course, my workplace is safe! If not, I would have done something about it." Are you sure? Have you gone out and checked for yourself? Do incident notifications still surprise you? Are you sure you can't make the workplace safer? This book presents a simple and effective process for a leader to know how safe their work is and how to make it safer. How? By observing "work as done, " verifying the effectiveness of hazard controls at the front line, and consistently removing obstacles and providing additional capability in a focused manner. You'll never truly KNOW it's SAFE, but you can MAKE your workplace SAFER, much safer!  Whether safety is your first priority or third or fourth, wouldn't you want to know? Why not? You know your balance sheet backwards and forwards.
What about the safety of the people who deliver that value? Frontline Control Verification includes the following steps:  FOCUS on a critical hazard. DEFINE the controls and leading indicators. OBSERVE the controls during work. ANALYZE the data as a team and commit to actions. ACT quickly and appropriately. COMMUNICATE results and progress. REPEAT and improve. Seems simple, right? It is, but not so easy to execute.
Safety never is. The true power of Frontline Control Verification lies in a leader's focus, curiosity, discipline, and persistence, in other words, their genuine care for the people in the organization. Are you up for the challenge? There couldn't be more at stake!
