  1. Portage County Safety CouncilSafety Awards Achieving a Cultureof Safety

  2. Culture is the set of habits that allows a group of people to cooperate by assumption rather than by negotiation. Based on that definition, culture is not what we say, but what we do without asking. A healthy culture allows us to produce something with each other, not in spite of each other. That is how a group of people generates something much bigger than the sum of the individuals involved. Culture Trumps Strategy, Every Timeby Nilofer Merchant, Harvard Business Review

  10. In the past, manufacturers have been told that safety is a line-driven activity that must first be implemented at the bottom of an organization and then work its way to the top. But the reverse is true. Safety must start with an organization’s senior management team. Leadership must demonstrate an active commitment to safety and promote that commitment with a passion, down and through the entire organization. Kimberly-Clark Corporation

  11. The very best leaders deliver safety values with true passion and understand that their employees are responsible for their company’s success. The safety process must touch every person in the organization. Safety must be a permanent agenda item, discussed at the start of every meeting. Leaders must be held accountable for safety performance. Safety must be the operational fabric of a facility, not a separate function. Safety must be integral to every business activity. Kimberly-Clark Corporation
