Are you accountable for safety?

How you behave has an affect on whether a job is safe, according to one CEO writing in OHSonline.com.

Brian Fielkow, CEO of Jetco Delivery, Inc., says both company and employee are accountable for safety.

An accountable employee:

– Admits fault.

– Knows the safe way and does it.

– Actively seeks to understand a task.

Companies are accountable when they:

– Don't accept excuses for unsafe work.

– Make processes and expectations clear.

– Make reasonable demands with core safety values in mind.
