First, Nobody Gets Hurt — Ebook (EPUB)

We want everyone to go home in the same shape they came to work in.

Most companies run safety from one slide in the board pack: a rate nobody upstairs reads, slogans on the wall, and a program that starts over after every serious injury. A plant that can’t keep its people safe can’t keep a process stable either. The injuries, the overtime, the scrap and the turnover come from the same few jobs.

First, Nobody Gets Hurt gives chief executives, plant managers and private-equity owners a practical way to put safety first, in the order decisions get made. Bill Canady brings 80/20 thinking to harm, from the first page of numbers to the board pack.

Learn to:

• Rank the harm by count and by cost, and screen every event for the potential to kill or maim.
• Fix the work instead of retraining the worker, and fund the fixes this year.
• Make the near-miss card the easiest report in the plant, and close what it finds within days.
• Read every recordable within a day, with a root cause inside three.
• Put three numbers on page one of the board pack every month: the recordable rate, the experience mod and the near misses.

Follow Kessling Fabricating & Coatings, two plants and 640 people, from a recordable rate of 6.8 to 2.1 in two years, with near-miss reports up from 12 a year to 710 and a $4.4 million EBITDA gain its CFO signed line by line.
