People-Based Safety™ provides the
safety training answer for a plastic and
chemical manufacturer

The Organization:
Nova Chemicals, Chesapeake, VA location
Manufactures plastic and chemical products, including crystal and impact polystyrene
Contacts: John Pecoraro, product support technician;                Lori Skytta, training & program coordinator

The Challenge:
Providing safety training for a diverse workforce, including operating technicians, warehouse employees, technical engineering staff and administrative personnel

The Solution:
People-Based Safety™ training from Coastal was chosen because of its:
·Ability to complement their behavior-based safety  program
·Person-based approach to safety training
·Injury prevention techniques
·Flexible courseware
·Appealing format

Complementing BBS
People-Based Safety™, the "person-based approach to safety training, complements the behavior-based approach that focuses on behavior analysis. "BBS has been in operation for four or five years, and we pointed out that People-Based Safety™, is not a replacement," Pecoraro says. "It will enhance BBS and they will work together." Employees use BBS to observe the behavior of their co-workers and record examples of safe and at risk behavior. The People-Based Safety™ system "takes it to another level," Skytta says. "It gets employees to think about what they're doing, and why they're doing it."

Personal Approach
People-Based Safety™ takes a personal approach to employee safety by focusing on employee thoughts and attitudes as well as behavior. "Applying People-Based Safety™ skills helps them think through things and try to figure out why they're doing what they're doing," Skytta says. People-Based Safety™ features four key skill areas-Acting, Coaching, Thinking and Seeing. "They combine to advance safe thought and behavior on a personal level, with every employee motivated to achieve," Pecoraro says.

Injury Prevention
By motivating employees to think about the way they work, People-Based Safety™ prevents a variety of injuries, including slips, trips and falls, lockout/tagout, forklift and moving parts," according to Pecoraro. "The coaching skill is very important here, because it tells us to look out for each other and ourselves," he says.

Flexible courseware
Users of People-Based Safety™ can rework the material to make it more relevant to their employees. "We rewrote the lesson plans to help our trainers work through the modules," Pecoraro says. "We changed some of the questions to focus on activites specifically geared to our facility, such as wearing gloves and the PPE that's used in our plant."

Appealing format
The People-Based Safety™ approach combines instruction with active participation, with trainers lecturing, playing DVDs and engaging the group in dialogue. "The sessions were very lively," Skytta says. "There was a lot of good response from employees."

Employee feedback
Every employee who completed People-Based Safety™ training provided original comments:
·"It made me think of safety in a different, more   personal way."
·"It focused a lot on what starts a behavior and it gave   me a better understanding of what may be happening   behind the scenes."
·"It identified areas of safety I had not thought about   before, very practical."
·"It was informal and allowed us to talk openly."
·"Sharing of personal experiences was a highlight of
  the training."

Results
135 employees completed the People-Based Safety™ training and they believe all accidents can be prevented. "We have passed one million man-hours without an away from work case, and People-Based Safety™ helps ensure our accident-free record," Pecoraro says.
