Caterpillar Safety Services: Understanding Human and Organizational Performance

You do everything you can to prevent accidents and keep your people as safe as possible. But the truth is that people make mistakes, and even the most safety-conscious site in the world can’t ensure people never make one. The important thing is to build a culture where people are encouraged to discuss hazards and mistakes and learn from them, instead of hiding or minimizing them.
Creating and sustaining a safety culture centered around human and organizational performance isn’t always fast or easy, but that’s where Caterpillar Safety Services can help. We bring the experience, expertise and training to help your site embrace a culture of safety where people feel cared for, respected, supported and valued.

Once is a mistake, twice is a bad habit.
That was the philosophy at the japanese companies I worked in, in the 80's. Mistakes are allowed, but only ONCE.

If we only pay attention (and punish) when an incident happens, will employees speak up and tell us how work is REALLY getting done, or will they hide those things? Wouldn't we rather know so we can improve BEFORE an incident occurs?

Apparently you never worked in industry with people around.
