Hobart Service employees face unique safety challenges as they perform installations and service of equipment at non-ITW sites. To address these challenges, Hobart has hired a dedicated safety manager, designated site safety coordinators, and implemented grassroots safety initiatives. Field technicians now do on-site hazard assessments and participate in regular safety meetings to discuss training, best practices, and concerns. These efforts have helped reduce the top safety risks for technicians, including burns, equipment handling, and cuts. As a result, Hobart Service has seen a significant decline in injury rates and gains new business through improved safety performance.
Worker safety trainings are the most essential foundation block for building a safety culture in any organisation. Worker skill training and capacity building is unique and to be designed, developed and delivered with proper competence & focus.

CULTIVATING A
CULTURE OF SAFETY
Establishing a culture of safety is not as simple as creating new workplace
rules. It involves a new way of thinking about fatality and injury prevention.

T
o build a thriving safety culture, companies need to focus
on both the procedures and processes that guide their
operations, as well as the attitudes and behaviors of every
employee.
It's not as simple as creating new workplace rules. It involves
a new way of thinking about fatality and injury prevention.
Because many EHS professionals now are expected to man-
age a multitude of responsibilities - often without the necessary
bandwidth or support staff- safety needs to become everyone's
responsibility. Safe behaviors should be modeled at every level of
employment - from the C Suite to the shop floor - across all func-
tions, from manufacturing to sales to the back office.
By promoting accountability in every aspect of a business,
companies can foster mutual respect, commitment, collaboration
and open dialogue among employees of all levels. These are the
hallmarks of a safety culture.
It's not enough to simply describe safety as a priority - be-
cause priorities often change. Companies need to make safety a
core value, knowing that a safe and healthy workforce translates
to a healthy bottom line.
No One-Size-Fits-All Approach
The foundation of a robust safety culture is a cohesive envi-
ronmental, health and safety management system.
An effective EHS-management system outlines the neces-
sary regulatory requirements and standards for safe workplace
operations, while allowing room for customization. At Kim-
berly-Clark Professional (KCP), we recognize that each of our
mills has a distinctive workplace culture, which is why our approach
to safety is not one-size-fits-all.
For example, our mill in Corinth, Miss., which manufactures
WypAU-brand utility wipers, employs 135 people along with another
30 to 50 contracted employees who provide services for our mill.
Every employee is bound by our mill's safety policy and "Eatal 10"
safety rules, which are unique to our mill but consistent with similar
tools used at other KCP facilities.
The "Fatal 10" defines the actions that all employees should
not take, as violating them could result in an injury or a loss of life.
While adhering to the requirements and standards of our company's
overall EHS-management system, these actions are reflective of the
distinct risk areas identified as most critical for our mill.
The mill in Corinth has achieved excellent safety outcomes, in-
cluding eight Crystal Eagle awards. The award recognizes mills that
have achieved a full year without a reportable injury.
However, this success did not come easily. It was the result of a
continuing focus on refining and improving our appro ...

10 ways to ensure your safety leadership journey towards vision zeroConsultivo
This presentation on Safety Leadership Journey towards Vision Zero is about the path ahead - the ten major ways of establishing a culture of proactive leadership ensuring a safety culture for everyone.
The values of a company define its culture. This rings more true in the oil industry, where executive culture has a very important role. While it is generally not easy to implement a value-based culture, it is of especial importance in Oil and Gas where safety is paramount to protecting the health and well-being of every person.

On a daily basis, workers engage in actions aimed at streamlining and enhancing their work processes, often without contemplating the potential adverse outcomes of these behaviors. During the lockout tagout procedure, workers engaged in machine maintenance occasionally use shortcuts which may lead to accidents.
Regardless to the type and nature of the job you do, occupational health and safety is an important
issue and needs a particular attention. Rates of work-related illnesses and injuries are slowly
decreasing worldwide but still they are great in number. The International Labour Organization (ILO)
reports that the number of deaths caused by occupational accidents and work related illnesses
worldwide is higher than those of war.

1. HOBART SERVICE EMPLOYEES
TAKE SAFETY INTO THEIR OWN HANDS
There are approximately 1,600 employees in ITW’s Food
Equipment Group’s Hobart Service business. These employees
are responsible for installing and servicing Hobart equipment in
the field. Service employees face unique safety challenges. They
are based out of one of Hobart’s more than 75 branches but they
perform all of their work at non-ITW sites, which means they
enter a wide variety of workplaces – from established facilities
to construction zones – and they work in areas they do not
control. They also work generally unsupervised and they drive to
and from customer locations. All of those realities are generally
regarded as significant challenges to worker safety.
Hobart management knew they had a good workforce in place
that needed extra support and tools to address the safety risks.
In addition to hiring a safety manager dedicated to the service
business and designating site safety coordinators at the local
level, Hobart has taken other measures to make sure everyone
gets the safety message. Field technicians are now expected to do
their own on-site hazard assessments, and determine how and
what they can control. Technicians also participate in regular
safety meetings at their home branches, which provide a forum
for discussing the current month’s training module, best practices
and any current concerns and opportunities. These meetings also
involve “what-if” drills and a review of any recent incidents.
Safety coordinators and employees also work together to
develop and share daily safety messages and weekly safety
best practices. These grassroots initiatives encourage the
application of ITW’s 80/20 business process – focusing on
the 20 percent of actions that will drive 80 percent of the
improvement. As a result, many of the ideas address the top
three safety and health issues affecting field technicians:
preventing burns, safe handling of equipment and protection
against cuts. Some of the most significant improvements have
been to reduce the weight of tool bags and to focus on the proper
use of personal protective equipment.
Alisha Manley, Safety Manager for the Hobart Service business,
says, “ITW leadership instills in us that we have a moral and
ethical responsibility to keep our people safe. It just so happens
that these people are all out in the field, but that doesn’t change
our responsibility or theirs. We have made a lot of progress
with awareness, so they can make the right choices and feel
comfortable speaking up if something appears to be unsafe. We
know reinforcement is critical so that safety eventually becomes
second nature for our technicians in the field.”
The Hobart Service employees’ incidence and severity rates
declined significantly in 2013, and the culture change is
ongoing. The safety improvement is also helping Hobart Service
gain new business because requests for proposal often include
safety considerations.
