Stop-Think-Act-Communicate (STAC)
● The purpose of the Stop-Think-
Act-Communicate (STAC) process
is to “Proactively involve all
employees to drive a cultural
change in safety by building a
process to equip people to
stop to identify hazards, think
to understand risk, act safely to
minimize risk, and communicate
the hazard and mitigate the risk.”
● STACs are completed by employees in their own work area and
communicated to their teams in daily meetings.
● Employees are encouraged to recognize hazards before an incident
occurs.

• Analyzed 1,753,498
"accidents" reported
by 297 companies.
• These companies
employed a total of

employees who
worked more than
three-billion hours
during the exposure
period analyzed.
38. 38
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.
61. 61
Six Criteria for Safety Excellence
– Top management is visibly
committed
– Middle management is
actively involved
– Front-line supervision is
performance-focused
– Employees are actively
participating
– System is flexible to
accommodate the culture
– Safety system is positively
perceived by the workforce
— Dan Petersen Ed.D.
62. 62
Safety Culture Indicators
– Attitude Towards Safety
– Discipline
– Employee Training
– Follow up on Suggestions
– Goals of Safety Performance
– Hazard Correction

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.
71. 71

Why Should Employees be
Involved?
• Companies often set
employees to do
observations but they don't
train them an nobody looks
at working conditions, only
unsafe behaviors.
• If every on is acting right
then the exposed live wires
shouldn't be a problem.
• You need both.

Hawthorne Effect
• Western Electric Cicero IL
• Elton Mayo studies work

• Output of building relays
was due freedom of
supervision, being
monitored, and developing
a close knit group.
75. 75
Deming's Points
• Create and communicate to all
employees a statement of the
aims and purposes of the
company.
• Institute on-the-job training.
• Teach and institute leadership to
improve all job functions.
• Drive out fear; create trust.
• Strive to reduce
intradepartmental conflicts.
• Remove barriers that rob people
of pride of workmanship
• Educate with self-improvement
programs.
• Include everyone in the company
to accomplish the
transformation.
• Eliminate exhortations for the
work force; instead, focus on the
system and morale.
• (a) Eliminate work standard
quotas for production. Substitute
leadership methods for
improvement.
(b) Eliminate MBO. Avoid
numerical goals. Alternatively,
learn the capabilities of
processes, and how to improve
them.
78. 78
Management Leadership
• Committed managers
• set the philosophy towards
safety and health,
• focus the efforts,
• lead the charge,
• engage the employees in
the entire process, and
• visibly demonstrate their
role via active participation.
79. 79
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.
79
80. 80
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.”

Job Hazard Analysis
• What can go wrong?
• What are the
consequences?
• How could it
happen?
• What are other
contributing factors?
• How likely is it that
the hazard will occur?
91. 91
Hazard Analysis
Grinding Iron Castings
• Step 1 – Reach into metal
box to right of machine,
grasp casting, and carry to
wheel.
• Step 2 – Push casting
against wheel to grind off
burr.
• Step 3 – Place finished
casting in box to left of
machine.

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.

improvements to the near-miss
portal.
115. 115
Monthly Inspections
• Monthly, designated personnel perform Housekeeping Area inspections.
• During these inspections area owners inspect for safety hazards.
• Deficiencies which can be fixed immediately are the responsibility of the area
owner.
• Other deficiencies are documented in the Corrective Action Program and/or a
work request is submitted for correction.
• Deficiencies which require immediate resolution are brought to the attention
of the Shift Manager or Work Control Center.

Five Principles of
Teaching and Learning
• Trainees should understand
purpose of training
• Organize information to
maximize effectiveness
• Immediately practice and
apply new knowledge and
skills
• As trainees practice,
feedback needed
• Effective training
incorporates a variety of
methods
126. 126

employees perform their work
• TCIR 2.5 vs. industry 7.0 2015
127. 127
Safety and Health Training
• Safety and Health training
for all employees
• Problem: Are Temps and
Contractors training done?
132. 132
Mentoring in the field
• One of the most important tasks of the mentor is to observe
the At-Risk employee in order to identify and intervene on
any risky behavior.
• This risky behavior includes but is not limited to:
• Violation of Dow rules.
• Violation of company rules, procedures, etc.
• Deviation from training or industry best practices.
• A poor attitude regarding safety.
• Unprofessional behavior including problems with co-workers
or supervision.
133. 133
Mentoring in the field
When any of these behaviors are identified, it is
the mentor’s responsibility to intervene with
the At-Risk employee in order to immediately
correct the issue.
If the issue is severe or is not immediately
resolved, the mentor is required to escalate the
problem to the Foreman, Superintendent, or
Safety Contact.
The company supervision should then follow
their disciplinary process.
It is important to quickly identify and report to

Positive Interaction Process (PIP)
● Goal is to “transform the current
safety observations into an effective,
on-going, Positive Interaction
Process that actively involves all
employees.”
● A PIP can be completed anytime
there is an opportunity to recognize
an employee for a safe action or to
express concern about a process
that appears to be unsafe.
136. 136
Positive Interaction Process (PIP)
● Recognition should be specific, timely
and sincere.
● When recognized, an employee is much
more likely to repeat their positive
behavior.
● In the event of a potentially unsafe
behavior, the focus is more around a
coaching opportunity.
● A quality PIP includes 3 criteria:
○ Must be specific and positive
○ Must be clear evidence of a two-
way discussion
○ Must start with an open-ended
question for a coaching opportunity

Safety Committee VPP
• XXX’s Glove Guidelines were
created as a result of a safety
committee meeting.
• They realized the need for a more
versatile glove.
• The gloves XXX’s provided at the
time were uncomfortable. Nor
were those gloves adequate for
multi-purpose use.
• The committee members
researched numerous types and
styles of gloves, and piloted
several gloves researched.
• Outcome: Increased glove usage
dramatically. XXX’s employees
owned the new gloves, as they
were responsible for the change.
• The change in gloves has also had
an immediate impact on
company hand injuries.

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.
