Posted By MP I suggest spending some time just walking about the site. Meet as many people as you can and introduce yourself. Try to spot some good practice and commend it. Have a day off from hazard spotting (unless it's a potential killer) and listen to issues being raised - take them on board and investigate them. Get the last few Accident / First Aid reports and go and see the injured party - ask what happened, has anything changed, does it need to change, was it lack of knowledge, poor equipment, carelessness? Suitable campaign material? Try to establish the real issues direct from the employees then run a campaign that the workforce themselves have suggested. Check out the last 6 sets of safety meeting minutes - actions still outstanding? Find out why and get them closed out. Go and see who raised them and try to fully understand the issue and the problems of why it is not yet closed out. Run a project to close them out. Go and talk to managers, supervisors, night shifts, drivers, sales reps, directors, contractors, everyone. Every day you and / or your staff take 15 - 20 minutes to walk the site. With 1500 employees something will present itself I'm sure. Maybe take a dusty old Risk Assessment with you too. Just my personal thoughts.... MP

Posted By Kieran J Duignan Allan The ultimate limit on your choice depends both on the existing tradition in which you work and on your own strategic goals as a safety professional. As you yourself suggest, the starting impetus is your own convictions. So, on 20.2.2010, what safety management improvements are you convinced you most want to be in a position to say you started now? Promotion offers possibilities of starting a process of safety cultural improvement that starts with the leadership and extending to the significant challenge of making safe, healthy behaviour a habit for everyone employed.
