The National Safety Council announces the “Rising Stars of Safety” – safety professionals younger than 40 who have distinguished themselves in the workplace, and who inspire others.
“There is no silver bullet for eliminating all error from the workplace,” says Michael Mangan of DEKRA Organizational Safety and Reliability. “However, organizations can put strong defenses in place.”
“It is important to clearly define the safety observation process in organizations to achieve maximum benefit from the activity and avoid a ‘checking-the-box’ exercise,” says Cary Usrey, process improvement leader at Predictive Solutions, who adds that observations “should be a two-way conversation aimed at developing an understanding and providing mutual benefit.”
