Most organizations, Mathis says, are putting a lot of work
into safety, but they’re not seeing results. He offers an alternative to the
traditional view, what he calls STEPS: Strategic targets for excellent
performance in safety. It’s not the way you’re working on things, it’s what you’re
working on. Focus on one thing, he says, and do it really well before moving on
to the next.
What one thing can you do differently that would make the biggest
difference in your organization? What will give you the most improvement? Prioritize
your targets. Don’t spend your effort on doing things that will have
microscopic results. Do the most important things first. Seems pretty
straightforward, yet many safety pros are doing too much on the wrong things. Do
you want to do two things that have an 80% result, or 39 things that have 20%
result?
