"It's zero. Every task, every action, every time." Safety 2012 luncheon keynote speaker Bruce Wilkinson had attendees repeat this line to him to stress the importance of accountability--a key take away from his presentation. Wilkinson spoke during the BCSP-sponsored luncheon. His speech, "Making Safety a Value - Not Just a Priority: The Key to Long-Term Safety Success," was a lively presentation encouraging safety professionals to engage employees to become self-motivated and self-accountable.
"When a number doesn't occur, a person's name isn't attached to it," he said. "Sell the concept. Be persuasive. Find a way to inspire people to become self-motivated."
