There are many priorities in manufacturing plants in the process industry. Our fundamental priority is safety management - with a focus on preventing all injuries. The key elements of an excellent safety system are:
- Management commitment - at the highest levels.
- First line, and progressive ownership of safety performance.
- Universal involvement in safety activities and training.
- Comprehensive corporate safety procedures, standards, and practices.
- Fully staffed, trained, and professional safety specialists with a supporting organization.
All of these elements are important, if not critical to an organizations safety performance. If we had to pick the most critical, important, or fundamental - it would be management commitment. Executive leadership must understand safety, believe in it, and have a passion for it.
