• The term "management by objectives" was first
popularized in his 1954 book 'The Practice of
Management'.
• MBO is often achieved using set targets
• Objectives for MBO must be Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Specific.

Michael Wood
• The only thing Heinrich's Pyramid
gets right (I think) is that
dangerous work practices and
deficient safety controls rarely
cause a fatality every time, so the
death that occurs is often the
result of an activity that has been
repeated, over and over.
• I think we often face the same
problem with "low
probability/high severity" safety
risks -- like explosions,
lockout/tagout issues, etc. The
focus on frequency of past claims
blinds them to what should be
obvious risks
• But the notion that that same
activity will generate a bunch of
minor injuries and a smaller
group of more serious injuries is
simply wrong

Element 1 – Management Leadership &
Employee Involvement
• Management leadership -
Motivating force and resources
A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by
trying to do hard things well.
If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of
mouth is very powerful.
There are two kinds of companies, those that work to try to charge more and
those that work to charge less. We will be the second.

Why Should Employees be
Involved?
• Workers know potential hazards and have a
vested interest in effective protection.
• Group input provides a wider range of
experience.
• Employees are more likely to support and use
programs in which they have input.

Why Should Employees be
Involved?
• Companies often set
employees to do
observations but they don't
train them an nobody looks

unsafe behaviors.

shouldn't be a problem.

numerical goals. Alternatively,
learn the capabilities of
processes, and how to improve
them.

Leadership Case 1
When I arrived in 2009, there was a
strong focus on the DART rate and
how it affects entry into the VPP
program.
It has evolved to holding managers
accountable for the safety of their
employees to the level of
termination of managers for poor
performance in compliance with
established procedures.
Further, this site wants to achieve
no injuries and illness because those
are not acceptable to the families or
coworkers. They believe they have
100% safe processes and should
have no injuries as a result.

69. 69
Leadership Case 2
“When I walk around everyone knows I am looking for unsafe
conditions or actions, proper PPE and to make sure that everyone is
productively employed.
“I also check cycle times and ask of the skilled trades what is the
controlling operation if it is slow.”

Procedure
b. Contact with sharp
burrs and edges of
castings can cause
severe lacerations.
1. Use a device as a clamp to
pick up castings.
2. Wear cut-resistant gloves
that allow a good grip and fit
tightly to minimize the chance
that they will get caught in
grinding wheel.
c. Strains to lower back
from reaching, twisting,
and lifting 15-pound
castings from the floor.
1. Move castings from the
ground and place them closer
to the work zone to minimize
lifting. Ideally, place them at
waist height or on an
adjustable platform or pallet.
2. Train workers not to twist
while lifting and reconfigure
work station to minimize
twisting during lifts.

Rewards
• If you reward lack
of injury, but risks
exist…..
• Then worker see
taking risks ok as
long as they do not
get hurt.

What is an Incident?
• Incident: An unplanned,
undesired event that hinders
completion of a task and may
cause injury, illness, or property
damage or some combination of
all three in varying degrees from
minor to catastrophic.
• Unplanned and undesired do not
mean unable to prevent.

What Is An Accident?
Accident: Definition is often similar to
incident, but supports the mindset that it
could not have been prevented

Root Cause
• Event Date: 01/27/2009
• On January 27, 2009, Gerald
Holland was walking across an
aircraft hanger to exit the
building for lunch.
• Ice and sleet had been blowing
through gaps in the hanger doors,
creating slippery conditions on
the adjacent floor.
• Gerald slipped and fell, striking
his head on the concrete floor.
He was hospitalized for severe
head trauma and later died.
128. 128
Another Root Cause
• Accident investigations only
identify what happened; the
underlying causes of the accident
are not identified.
• If the root causes of an accident
are not identified, only superficial
solutions can be considered.

Temporary Employee
• Carlos Centeno Death
• NPR, Mother Jones, Center to
Protect Public Integrity
• 50% of top ten employers
with amputations
• Dr. Michaels – Feb 2013
• Employer indifference to the working
conditions of many contingent workers
is simply unacceptable.
• While some employers may believe they
are not responsible for temporary
workers, OSHA requires that employers
ensure the health and safety of all
workers under their supervision and
control.
• We need to make it clear to supervisors,
staffing and temp agencies, and other
employers that even if workers are
temporary, they are entitled to the
same safety and health rights and
should be treated no differently from
other workers.
Staffing agency does not know the electrical hazards
at the workplace.
Contract language really does not matter to a jury.

Ergonomics
• First ergo in years to poultry
company in AL.
• OSHA issued 11 citations to
the poultry processing plant in
Jack, Ala., including nine
serious, one repeat and one
other-than-serious violation.
• The inspection was initiated
after the agency received a
complaint from the Southern
Poverty Law Center.
• Proposed penalties total
$102,600.

internal reviews are
discoverable by OSHA and
others

for a fresh perspective
• Know and use your own
OSHA history
– Plant specific citations

External Audits
OSHA can subpoena these
audits.
Two Large Penalty cases

privileged unless
directed by a counsel
– Company and Outside
Counsel can retain
consultants to create
arguments the audit
