At our company operations meet­ings, we discuss goals and achieve­ments in safety, quality, and produc­tivity. We believe these areas are the basis, or foundation, for our success and provide stability and support, much as the legs of a stool. We start each meeting with a safety tip and/ or discussion. After safety we cover quality issues, then productivity and other business related items. Safety is always first. 

Having worked for both large and small companies during my career, I feel fortunate to have been part of a variety of safety programs, rang­ing from very sophisticated ones to simple, common sense ones. While there is a valid argument for the elaborate safety programs with large volumes of written procedures, dedi­cated safety staff, complex incentives, fully integrated safety observation programs, strong disciplinary policies, and never ending statistical analysis, they don’t have to be.
