Happy New Year!  To kick off the New Year I shared what to expect from the Safety Geek in the upcoming year and what I'm focusing on. During this time of year, it's common to be working on Safety Goals for your company.  But I want to encourage you to start making goals for your career and life as well.  The practice I like to use is a combination of Steven Covey and The One Thing.  When you set a long-term goal and break it down to 10 years, 5 years, 3 years, 1 year...then this month, week, day.  You are more likely to achieve that goal because you are regularly looking at it.

There is a common misconception in management teams that it is the Safety Manager's job to "do safety."  In today's episode, I give you steps to take to make the transition from Safety Doer to Safety Leader.  The truth is, safety policies and procedures are most effective when the supervisors are the ones actually implementing, training, and enforcing.  The four steps I outline: Create positive relationships with the management team. Have a clear understanding of accountability. Create processes that involve everybody. Include management from the beginning.

So many times when an accident happens we look at the direct cost that comes in the form of medical bills or repair estimates. The actual cost of medical services needed to take care of an injury might not be much, but when you take the time to look at the big picture, you recognize that the cost is much higher. Why? Because there are indirect costs involved.
