[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 406744, member: 484"] one more thing i forgot to add you have to be sincere in your quest to create a safer working environment. with very few exceptions, we got all safety issues brought before the committee fixed either before it was made known to the committee (ie fixing the problem yourself or immediately having someone in charge of that area fix it), or within 24 hours if it was not something serious. when you walk the talk, you earn the respect of those you represent. note i said earn. and you dont earn that by beating your chest on power trips. you do it by caring about your fellow employee and actually doing something about it. that being said, the management team also respected what the safety team has accomplished. the average safety meeting had about 20% of the drivers in attendance each meeting. there was none of the stupid candy bars passed out gimmics..........well once we had a dunk tank set up, in november, tank filled with water and 60 pounds of ice. gave each safe driver a ball for each month of safe deliveries for the year. you could also buy balls with the money going to charity. I was volunteered to be the tank man. i was surprised at the great pitching talent we have at our center. but i digress. point is, without a committed management staff that gives you the leeway to set goals, and to see to it you have the tools to gain those goals, is it any wonder why the program has failed so badly in so many places. where the safety co-chair is viewed as a company patsy instead of a true safety advocate? I guess i was lucky? but remember, tyranny runs free when good men stand by and do nothing. its your safety committee. if you let management take it away from you, shame on you. d [/QUOTE]
