Keeping an eye on future consequences of seemingly good ideas is part of the job of every leader, particularly in the safety arena. This is a great example of how one bad decision can create an unforeseen series of events. That's why ARSC is sounding the alarm on the impact to industry of sudden shifts in PSM training requirements. For more than 25 years, the ARSC reciprocal model has been the gold standard for meeting PSM training requirements. Deviating from this proven model can lead to: • Duplication of training efforts • Increased training fees/labor costs/per diem • Decreased efficiency in worker deployment • Improperly vetted workers (increasing legal liability) #ARSC #PSMcompliance #reciprocaltraining #eddavidson #thereyahaveit

There ya have it folks... When all else falls by the waste side, leaning towards safety could very possibly save the day. A lot going here for such a simple process, but it's evident, even basic safety practices were not considered. No risk assessment No situational awareness No ppe No supervision No training No recognition of the laws of nature We could go on and on, but it all boils down to one thing... Poor culture! A missing or lacking safety culture may lead to concerns such as increased injuries and deaths and more legal issues. A safety culture is a culture that creates rules, regulations, protocols and policies that ensure the safety of its staff. A healthy safety culture will effectively communicate company values, show leadership in operations and communication and explain what’s expected of employees. What’s more, a safety culture will encourage involvement in the safety management process, increase awareness of potential risks and educate workers about safety management systems. With this information in hand, an employee will understand how to implement safety protocols. For a safety culture to succeed, its leaders must lead by example. That means pointing out when unsafe practices occur, following them to a “T” and rewarding safe employees.
