Ted Boyce More Profits From the Positive and Interesting Side of Safety episode 118

 

Safety seems to compete with the process of getting the job done .Fact is that when safety is dialed in it actually makes everything run smother.

Fun Fact Thomas E. (TED) Boyce, Ph.D. is the only applied psychologist, formally-trained professional musician and recording artist, author, keynote speaker, university professor, Fortune 100 business consultant in the world.

Ted Boyce’s company tag line is were not just preventing injuries we are improving lives.

When safety is run at its optimum you see other things like production being up so that’s improving production improve quality, even improved worker morale.

 The key is not to force safety upon the workforce it is to get them involved i and engaged in their own safety.

A great, great way to get employees to buy into the safety, especially when we show them that we as the employer  care about them ,then  there's this unique reciprocity in that  they start caring about you and your business.

Seems like the buzz around safety is that has to be boring subject but it really doesn't have to Bing it can be fun he can be exciting to be interesting and it can be very Profitable on both ends of the spectrum employee and the owner.

So here's a question if you have signs up that say XO many days without an injury or 125 safe days does that necessarily mean you're working Environment is safe?

Within proof safety and things running smoothly then there should be increased profits. Although we can’t forget about the people side of the equation.

When safety is not an important issue then we have injuries lost time that means lost revenue in the construction industry the numbers run for direct and indirect cost on the low side from 28 k to 35 k

That's time out of work, workmen's Comp. retrain, training another employee to fit that slot till the other person comes back .A lot of unnecessary work involved when an accident happens.

So when we start to do things in the safety arena and think I'll be working on the minimums that might be deemed by OSHA or the insurance company or things of that nature. We really start to see the benefits of the safer work place that we discussed earlier when we go beyond the minimums.

Really the upfront training in the safety of the company is actually an investment in the well-being of not just the company but the employees of the business and owner serve the community better.

 

Ted Boyce has a unique approach to his to safety where he how's the owner or the employees figure out why they do certain things and try to create a habit of avoiding those behaviors instead of just having a check list of safe habits or safe actions.

So communication is key factor in this safety process.
