While worker safety is often touted as a company s first
priority, more often than not, safety activity is driven by
compliance to legislation rather than any safety improvement
initiative. Lean takes a proactive approach it is not contingent on
legislation. A serious Lean effort will tear apart an old
inefficient entitlement-riddled culture and build it into something
effective.
Lean Safety: Transforming your Safety Culture with Lean
Management takes lessons learned from Lean and applies them to the
building of a world-class safety-first organization. Based on 30
years of experience with successful implementation of continuous
improvement, Robert Hafey focuses the power of Lean improvement on
the universal topic of safety. In doing so, he shows how Lean and
safety are linked; that the achievement of one is often dependent
upon achievement of the other. In this book, written for managers
and executives as well as workers on the line, Hafey:
- Challenges each stakeholder to think proactively and accept
individual responsibility for safety
- Emphasizes that the building of a top safety program requires
the building of a world-class safety culture
- Demonstrates how basic Lean tools are as applicable to safety
as they are to Lean, such as the A3 problem-solving process and the
facilitated kaizen blitz
- Removes fear from the accident investigation process so that
root causes are addressed rather than hidden
- Establishes standards and metrics for safety management that
are clearly definable and measurable
Any lasting improvement must become both institutionalized and
perpetually capable of adaptation. World class safety is not about
writing correct rules, but more about righting the culture
responsible for the well-being of its stakeholders.
Listen to what Robert Hafey has to say about Lean Safety."
