SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL
| PEOPLE-BASED SAFETY™
How does the ACTS approach work?
Acting, Coaching, Thinking and Seeing are the four key skills that promote safe behavior. People-Based SafetyTM focuses on each one, in a series of programs that
provide workers with the individual skills they need to work safely.
- Acting – Employees learn about the basis of behavior before specific acting skills are taught.
They learn how to pinpoint critical actions to identify the risks associated with work related tasks and how to actively care for their coworkers.
- Coaching – Employees learn how to coach their coworkers to work safely by analyzing and observing their behavior and providing helpful feedback.
Communication is the key, with employees trained to speak with coworkers in a helpful, non-threatening way to induce them to act safely.
- Thinking – Employees learn how their thought processes motivate their behavior and influence their safety. They learn how to develop a safety mindset, how to prepare
a mental checklist of safe actions and how to use mental imagery to activate safe thoughts and actions.
- Seeing – Employees learn how to accentuate their seeing skills by recognizing hazard recognition traps that keep us from recognizing danger.
Employees are also taught to scan and focus to see the dangers that confront them.
These four skills are the key to the People-Based SafetyTM program. By learning new ways to act, coach, think and see, employees develop a safe mindset that promotes safe actions.
