A Framework To Empower Employees To Think About Safety
It's not unusual for employees to have the mindset of "it's not my job" when it comes to the responsibilities of others in the company. And it makes sense! Sometimes it's not their job, that's why roles have to be clearly delineated. But when it comes to safety, it's everyone's job. The responsibility of maintaining a safe and secure workplace falls on everyone's shoulders. That being the case, it can make a big difference to give your employees the agency they need to take ownership of keeping each other safe. That's where our Stop & T.H.I.N.K. platform comes in. Developed in-house by the team at Your S.A.F.E. Consultants, Stop & T.H.I.N.K. trains all employees to be safety leaders, giving them a clear line of two-way communication with management to identify trouble points and preparedness gaps so they can be addressed.

Your Employees Are Your Eyes & Ears For Safety
A lot of companies brag about having an "open door" policy, but have management that fails to live up to the promise. But you care about your employees, you want them to get home safe and sound every day - and you know they are more aware of what might be a danger at your facility than you'll ever be. You need them to provide strong feedback about the specific situations they encounter every day. That's why Stop & T.H.I.N.K. is such an effective framework - it empowers your employees to bring up potential safety issues so they can be immediately acted upon. The Stop & T.H.I.N.K. approach teaches employees to:
T - Train Yourself
This encourages employees to ensure their training on all relevant equipment and procedures is up to date, and encourages them to seek out other safety training you can provide so they are prepared for anything.
H - Hone Your Understanding
Just because you have a certification doesn't mean you'll recall everything you need to know in an emergency. Regular review, even including practice scenarios, helps lock in these new skills.
I - Identify Risk
Even the best-prepared business can overlook something. Empower your employees to keep an eye out and discover gaps in protection or policy that you can close up together.
N - Never Sacrifice
Nothing - we repeat, nothing - is worth risking your employees or your customers. Never cut a corner or ignore an issue in the name of expediency - and train your employees to act in the same manner.
K - Keep Others Safe
All of you--you, your employees, your managers--are in this together. Watch each other's backs and ensure everyone stays safe throughout the workday.
