The following is a story about a mining operation. It is in all rights and intentions a fictional one, but the subject matter addressed in this story was taken from thirty five years experience in the mining industry.
There was a mining operation that had good production, low cost and once in a while they would have a lost time accident. When they had a lost time accident the mine manager would call...

A toothpaste factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the tube inside.
This was due to the way the production line was set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timings so precise that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time. Small variations in the environment (which...

Consider this story:
A four-person committee was appointed; it consisted of Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, Nobody. An important job came up and the committee agreed that Everybody should be asked to do it. Everybody, however, was sure that Somebody would do it, and they all knew that Anybody could do it. Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry because it was Everybody’s job, and Everybody...

A person’s values serve as an internal map that guides behavior. Try giving a map to a person and asking him to find his way around the jungle. Without bearings or a compass, he will never be able to do it. The bearings and compass in this sense is a person’s moral compass—his values. Wanting to do the right thing is just the start of the journey. Good intentions need to be translated into...

Safety is largely about actions. But it’s also about attitude. We can observe actions objectively. But it’s harder to see into employees’ heads and hearts and examine their attitude toward workplace safety. Every employee must be dead serious about safety—or they could end up dead. As well as taking job safety seriously, a positive attitude is reflected by other factors,...

Most of us like to get our work done with the least amount of effort, and as quickly as possible. We all want to get the most work out of the energy we use on the job.

This energy-saving attitude can also be bad if we make a wrong decision and take dangerous shortcuts.
