At Lanracorp, we like to challenge industry standard and perform higher than what is expected. For us, safety isn’t just something we talk about. We live it. Every. Single. Day.
It’s about more than just our reputation as a forward-thinking leader in the pipeline and utility maintenance industries. We live out our commitment to health and safety because we want all our employees to return home at the end of each work day the same, if not better, as when they left.
How to get buy in at all levels?
- Lead from the Top – Your decision making should be based first upon safety, then your core values. People will notice and follow suit.
- You must Preach it Every Day – What gets talked about, gets done. If you don’t fill the conversation with safety and core values, someone else will fill it with whatever they what. Lead the conversation.
- Be Consistent, Coach, Encourage – Be consistent on safety, don’t let others slack. Coach everyone all the time, to do better on safety. Encourage and don’t punish near miss, BBS, etc.
- Be Proactive, Not Reactive – Safety is about prevention.
- Teach others to Mitigate Tasks, Make that a Habit – Every task, the first thought should be, what are all safety risks, and do no begin that task until risks are mitigated.
- Safety is Collaborative – Use others knowledge, create discussion, this is how risks are minimized.
For us, good is never good enough. That’s what has allowed us to achieve a tremendous safety record and high customer satisfaction rate. Quality and safety, always. That’s us. That’s Lanracorp.
