Bsafe HER 0
We have all heard the word “hero” from time to time, but have you ever asked yourself “What is a hero?” Is a hero someone we admire, respect, and look up to, or is a hero someone with “super powers”? While there are many interpretations of what a hero is, Brock considers a Bsafe HER0 to be someone who transforms respect and caring into heroic actions. It takes more than random acts of kindness to make a Bsafe HER0. It requires acts that are very distinct and direct; a Bsafe HER0 is a person who intervenes. Brock believes that everyone has the power and ability to be a Bsafe HER0. We may not have super powers like X-ray vision or super strength, but we all possess the personal qualities of respect and caring, which are the greatest attributes of all superheroes. Those qualities make our workforce a League of Heroes and fosters a work environment of ZER0 Harm, ZER0 Quality Defects, and ZER0 Rule Violations. OSHA VPP The OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) promotes effective worksite-based safety and health. By participating in VPP, management, labor, and OSHA establish cooperative relationships at workplaces that have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management system. Approval into VPP is OSHA’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts by employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health. As a company, we have decided to pursue VPP status because meeting the minimum expectations is not sufficient; we continuously seek to excel and be the best of the best. With this goal in mind, we structured our safety and health management programs to go above and beyond any regulatory or industry expectations. A job site that is adequately applying our safety and health programs is already prepared for the rigorous auditing required in the VPP process. The thought process and commitment to VPP allows us to meet our expectations and the high expectations of VPP.
Corporate Recognition Program
Reinforcement of safety performance should be positive, proactive, and designed to help employees understand when, where, and what forms of safety behaviors are expected. Recognizing and rewarding employees for compliance with safety protocols, successful progression, and achievement towards their safety goals is one way to develop and, more importantly, reinforce, an organizational norm that working safely is valued and expected. Brock developed a structured program with a clear path to success through all levels of the corporation with recognition for individual employees, supervisors, and HSEQ professionals, which includes Regional Presidential Recognition Awards and Corporate CEO Awards that are selected from the pool of Regional award winners. The required criteria are in the form of well-defined safety goals, regular feedback, goal reinforcement, and clearly outlined recognition paired with specific behaviors or outcomes. We believe that a strong commitment to safety will result in lower accident and injury rates that will consequently derive benefits in terms of reduced absenteeism, turnover, workers’ compensation expenses, and increased employee morale and productivity. Simply put, recognizing employees with exceptional safety performance improves the overall effectiveness of our health and safety well-being.
