Safety Effectiveness

Safety EffectivenessAt Brooks International, it is our belief that every approach to safety be customized for each individual operation.  Each program will be designed and implemented to the specific needs identified during the analysis stage.

Through our deep experience in the implementation of behavior based systems, we have delivered positive bottom- line results. These programs drive accountability and awareness throughout the operational culture which results in a safer workplace and reduced insurance costs.

The approach includes and extensive review of current programs and past performance. Once the deficiencies have been identified, a new system for management is developed, installed, and implemented within the operation. The resulting program includes the following:

  • Full OSHA compliance
  • Documented training
  • Accountability integrated into the human resources system for individual performance
  • Structured management meetings to implement corrective actions developed through root cause analysis.

Clients have experienced extended periods  without lost- time injuries, increased hours worked without lost- time injuries, reduced insurance costs, lower experience modification ratings, and finally, stronger financial statements.  Selected results of our clients’ safety improvements are the following:

  • Reduction in claims reserves which released $5.5M to the bottom line of a self-insured utility contractor
  • Heavy manufacturing operation reached 500+days without a recordable incident
  • Building services contractor that had their EMR reduced from 1.57 to .52
