Safety Solutions Across Multiple Locations & Divisions

Problem: 
We have a business with multiple locations and divisions that is in needs of a corporate wide safety solution.  Currently, each division is in charge of its own safety program, injury results, and training, causing each division to address these critical issues differently.  How can we implement a safety solution to provide measureable statistics and safety program structure across the entire company?

Response:
Development of a safety program does not guarantee a successful implementation. Many attempts fail as implementation is uneven across divisions, facilitators lack the proper skills to identify barriers, and resources are deployed incorrectly.  Hiring a third-party consultant with a proven track record like Three Sixty Safety is the best way to proceed for the following reasons:
  • Instant program traction is achieved with precise installation. Without an installation process we find competing organizational demands strip the facilitator of time and energy to execute proper program installation. Resistance is common as roles, responsibilities, and benefits of the program are not clearly articulated by a credible safety champion.
  • Our pre-packaged online tools, resources, and documentation provide the structure for implementing and monitoring your safety system. With our 28 years of experience we have the necessary resources identified for your program to succeed.  Locating sufficient resources is quite often an endless internet search for the unknown with many hours wasted.  Three Sixty Safety™ takes the guess work out of your search for resources and directs your budgeted safety funds to useful areas.
  • Our system creates buy-in from all employees during our installation process. The inability to promote safety programs to team members & employees is a common occurrence. For a safety program to succeed, the facilitator must know who needs to be involved and exactly what their roles and responsibilities are. The Three Sixty Safety system gets buy-in from all employees during installation. 
  • We have a proven track record and know what to measure to get the best result.  What you cannot effectively measure you cannot improve. Many companies do not know what injury statistics to gather, or what they mean which makes it difficult to show improvement over time. Typically, the safety novice collects the wrong data and creates frustration for the safety team and management. Our experience with safety systems ensures that the right statistics will be measured, examined and reacted to accordingly.
  • We act as your personal coach to keep your organization on-track and accountable.  Without the proper structure, guidance, and ability to know when to make changes, the “six month fizzle & flop” is very common, despite management’s best intentions.
  • Every facility has obstacles that need to be overcome. For some, these obstacles can feel insurmountable. Limited space, budget, and resistance to job modifications are common, which can knock any new system off track. Our experts have seen it all and know what solutions gain the most traction in the shortest amount of time. 
  • Should employees be trained in one-shot intervals, or should they be trained on an ongoing basis? Left unanswered, these decisions can lead to inefficient training programs, leaving organization employees unsuccessfully trained.  We have the proven answers to tackle this challenge. Every employee is trained monthly, without negatively affecting production schedules. With our online training options, employee training can be completed and documented quickly.
