“Krissy is always in tune with all things safety, from housekeeping to promptly correcting hazards that are discovered or presented to her. She proactively asks questions regarding safety issues and consistently acts on ideas that we have discussed to make things a little safer. She truly does go above and beyond her normal duties to make things happen. From years of yard waste, to straightening up the shop and plant, she hops in to help do whatever task needs done. She does every position at the plant along with her super duties. As a safety person, I am glad that we have managers like Krissy working here at Croell!” Nominated by: Don Rattell, Safety Officer Why do you think safety is important? "To go home to your family the same way you showed up for work! Let's keep injuries out of the equation!" What do you do to promote safety and ensure a safe work environment? "Weekly safety meetings, quality pre-trip inspections and coaching when needed. Always be aware of your surroundings at work. Be very aware of current hazards and equipment malfunctions. Report them immediately! Let's deal with these issues as soon as possible!" What measures does your crew/plant take to improve safety? "I always ask employees if they feel safe doing tasks outside of their daily routines such as climbing to the top of a silo. If they aren't, we work together to figure it out. Don't get in a hurry! I prefer to be a team player, not a "Boss."

Are your floor supervisors performing a daily safety walkthrough? A safety walk through is a vital component of every safety program. They allow leadership to evaluate the program, identify any deficiencies, and determine actions and areas that need improvement. A safety walk through of a workplace is essential for maintaining and improving health and safety. Our floor supervisors must drive safety and help drive a world class safety culture. Without this type of leadership, unsafe actions will surface.

Here are some key points to consider for building a safety culture “Safety First”, just decide to be part of it

A few thoughts on safety culture from our Chief Safety Officer Jesus Cadena:

How does your organization prioritize safety culture, and what steps are you taking to ensure it's a primary focus in every aspect of your operations?   As we celebrate Safety Week, I want to emphasize the critical importance of fostering a safety culture within our organization. Safety isn't just a set of rules and procedures—it's a mindset, a commitment, and a way of life. A strong safety culture not only protects our team members from harm but also contributes to our overall success as a company. It fosters trust, engagement, and morale among our teams, leading to higher productivity, lower turnover rates, and ultimately, better business outcomes. When safety is the focus in our company culture, it becomes second nature for every team member to prioritize safety in everything they do. It's about looking out for each other, speaking up when we see something unsafe, and continuously striving for improvement. At BZI, safety isn't just a box to check—it's a core value that guides our actions every day. As Chief Safety Officer, I'm proud to be a part of a team that is committed to upholding the highest safety standards and fostering a culture where safety is everyone's responsibility. Let's continue to prioritize safety, not just during Safety Week, but every day. Together, we can create a safer and more successful workplace for everyone. #SafetyWeek #SafetyCulture #ConstructionSafety

We hosted Safety Committee Meeting, here is why ! As per Indian Section 41G in The Factories Act, 1948 Describes safety risk to the employees and they speak openly about safety concerns and solutions with top management for the appropriate decision on mitigate the risk. In these safety groups are an opportunity to share different perspectives on hazards. It become important practice of consultation from all employees making workplace safer. Because workers directly involved in high risk activities. Now it is guidance that bringing all parties at one place makes decision easier work practices safer !

👷 At W.M. Lyles Co., safety isn't just a priority—it's a way of life. Meet Tyler Payne, SMS, CHST, CIT, STS, CUSP, and Philip Portillo, CSP, CHST our newly promoted senior safety operations managers, who are leading the charge in fostering trust, accountability, and a culture of safety among our team members. We asked them how we prioritize safety within our organization. Here are a few key takeaways: 💡 Problem-Solving Together: Recognizing hazards is just the beginning. We believe in owning the problem and finding solutions together. Each challenge becomes an opportunity for collaboration, with everyone involved in brainstorming and implementing safety controls. 👂 Listening Matters: Every opinion, recommendation, and concern is valued. By actively listening to our team members, we empower them to take ownership of safety issues and contribute to finding effective solutions. 🌟 A Safety Culture in Action: Our strong safety culture isn't just about following rules; it's about preventing incidents and ensuring project success. Take our emergency sewer repair project in Bakersfield, for example. Despite pushback from inspectors, we prioritized safety and called off work due to heavy rain. This decision prevented a potential disaster and showcased the power of a proactive safety mindset. 👩💼 Leadership at Every Level: Leadership sets the tone for our safety culture. From frontline supervisors to top management, everyone plays a crucial role in ensuring safety is non-negotiable. Our leaders lead by example, demonstrating active involvement in safety decisions and actions. 📊 Measuring Success: We take safety seriously, and that means tracking our progress. Through tools like HCSS, we capture real-time data on observations, near-misses, incidents, and audits. This allows us to continuously analyze and benchmark our safety initiatives for maximum effectiveness. 🚧 Together, We Build Safely: Safety isn't just a priority—it's our promise. By working together, listening to each other, and empowering everyone to take ownership, we create a culture where safety thrives and projects succeed. #ConstructionSafetyWeek #SafetyCulture #LifeatLyles #SafetySuccess #ConstructionSafety
