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
