The most challenging aspect of MacDonald Miller’s safety program is that the safer it becomes the more difficult it becomes to get better without making safety a negative. To overcome this, the company has become more and more vocal about its culture of safety. Anytime it has the opportunity to speak internally, MacDonald Miller discusses that its culture demands it work safely first, produce a quality product second and then production will magically appear.
MacDonald Miller also talks about how not only do its employees have the right to stop unsafe work, but everyone has the responsibility to stop unsafe work and practices.
MacDonald Miller also incorporates near misses, lessons learned and incidents into its weekly safety meetings to allow the entire company to learn from others. Probably most importantly, it is always discussing ways to increase employee engagement. Some ways it is doing this is by encouraging safety managers to get to know every employee, earn their trust, get feedback, ask about issues and concerns, ensure employees get the right tools, train and coach employees, enforce procedures and policies, and recognize successes publicly.
