The _______
won’t see
what the mind
doesn’t know.
 Is the foundation for safe behavior.

 It not only means understanding what your job is, but also
understanding how you should do it; what materials and
equipment you must use to accomplish your task; what
precautions you should take; and what rules and regulations
you must apply.

 It is understanding with whom you must work, and how you

relate to them in performing your tasks and for them to perform
theirs.

 It is understanding changing environmental conditions which

effect you and your tasks, and

 knowledge is an ability to continually assess yourself and your

performance from a physiological and work product point of
view.
 Is proficiency at performing your tasks,
"Know how". Knowledge is the foundation
for it, but practice and achieved results is
what defines it.

 Skill is a demonstrated proficiency in

performing your task consistently well. It is
a demonstration that you not only have
knowledge, but that you also know how to
use equipment and produce desired
results under various conditions and
circumstances.
 Preparation is a preamble to performance. It is
making sure that you have all of the tools and
personal equipment necessary to safely and
efficiently perform your task.

 Preparation is determining the effects and impacts

that variables and changing conditions will have
upon performance before beginning your task.

 It is making sure that you are physically and mentally

ready to perform your task.
 We, as human beings have a tendency towards complacency.
With all the knowledge, skill, and preparation in the world,
complacency is a constant threat to safety. Thus, vigilance is a
critical ingredient for safe operations within the workplace.

 Vigilance is the constant refocus on our tasks.

 Vigilance is a continuous process of awareness about what we are

doing and how we are doing it.

 There are many enemies to vigilance:

 Complacency,
 Fatigue,
 Inattention,
 Diversion, are a few of them.
 Each one of us must feel good about what we do if we are to do
it well.

 Each of us have a desire to be a member and a contributor to

the achievement of goals for our team or organization. We must
want to do well if we are going to do well consistently.

 Motivation is an important ingredient in the recipe of safety. It

drives the ability to be vigilant.

 Motivation significantly and directly influences preparation and

vigilance.

 And it inspires us to apply our knowledge and skills well.

NOW
I TRULY BELIEVE
IN SAFETY
 Communication is the "spice" of the
recipe. Used properly it will strengthen
and enhance all other ingredients.

 Communication is the "everyday"

ingredient for effective safety
behavior.
 Define and document policies and
procedures for the safe performance of
tasks related to jobs within your
organization. This will show to each
employee an interest on the part of the
organization for their well-being. It will also
define the knowledge and skills that will be
essential for safe operations by each
employee.
 Provide regular training for all
employees. Training is the basis from which
to provide knowledge & skill and
preparation. Employees will again believe
that you have an interest in their well-being
and performance. And training is a basic
means of communication which is so vital in
any organization.
 Communicate regularly with all
employees. If possible, communicate on a
daily basis about changing conditions and
situations which will effect their jobs and
their performance.

Communicate regularly with them about

organizational objectives and the
achievement of these objectives.

Remember that communication updates

knowledge and is a regular way to remind
each worker that they are a very real part of
the organization.
 Provide positive feed back to your
employees. Congratulate them for a job
well done.
Encourage them to do better and to help
improve ways that the organization does
things.
Always listen to their advice and to their
complaints. And always respond in a timely
manner. This is how respect is built within
the organization. And this is how motivation
and vigilance are energized within each
employee.
 Provide recognition for excellent safety
performance. Initiate a safety incentive
program, an awards dinner, lapel pins, etc,
as rewards for consistently high safety
performance. These are outstanding ways
to say thank you and to maintain motivation
among employees.
 Safety is a part of the fabric within the
organization.

 Every member of the organization must

live it and breathe it.

 It is a behavior. And members of the

organization must support each other
in acting safely.
