High-reliability operations can often sound exceedingly complex and leave employees wondering what they can do other than their individual jobs. However, high-reliability cultures need each team member to participate in safety to identify, assess and control hazards proactively.

If we take a clear look at what high-reliability operations entail, we can determine the different parts each team member can play to increase safe work practices and conditions. Even better, if each team member spends just 10 minutes a week on safety, high-reliability operations can be achieved.

This presentation will discuss:

• High-reliability cultures
• How they are developed
• How 10 minutes a week from each team member can exponentially improve safety
