At RelaDyne, that culture is evident
from an employee's very first day,
according to Doug Oehler, executive
vice president of distribution. "Before
someone starts, they go through safety
training. Once we have teams set -
service technicians, delivery, warehouse
associates - they then go through
monthly safety meetings. Sometimes we
bring in outside educators to supplement the information we're offering.
We allow for about a 15-minute Q&A
at the end, and then they sign off on
having attended that safety session."
The situation is similar at Radco
Industries. "The day a new hire comes
in, we have an orientation," Allen said.
"They have to get through the safety
manual, called The Red Book. It covers
who to contact, when, how to say

what's wrong, first-aid measures, where
first-aid kits are, all of it."
When Radco Industries rolled out a
new safety program several years ago,
Allen put extra emphasis on it by leading weekly 20-minute safety meetings.
"It was very effective," she said.
In fact, those meetings opened up
avenues for conversations about safety
that the company had not foreseen.
"Any safety meeting should open up
discussion about what works and what
doesn't. For instance, I told the employees a story about guys in another plant
who were being shocked by one of their
work tables," Allen remembered. "The
guys in the story knew the table was
shocking them for a week, but no one
did anything. So, I told our guys this
story about six months into our weekly
meetings. Afterward, I got a call from

some [of them] who wanted to let me
know that their production table was
shocking them! We've had that happen
a lot, with getting calls after the meeting to tell me something we'd discussed
was actually going on."
"I think two-way communication
between supervisors and employees
is probably the thing that will help a
safety program succeed," Leiter said.
"I'm also a huge student of leadership
- leading by example and accepting
responsibility while holding others
accountable. That's going to nurture the
right attitudes and the right behavior
so that safety is inseparable from the
company's activity."

Always Improving
An effective approach to workplace
safety requires flexibility, with new
