The Approach

Observe the work. Discuss, ask, and clarify.

A process tailored for any experience, at any level, from any background.

How the work is approached

Observable behaviours, not generic value labels.

Applying Calculated Intention to Accident Prevention.

Listening to those doing the work
Start with the people closest to the task. Their hands-on knowledge exposes what is working, what is getting in the way, and what needs attention.
Direct field observation
See the work in action. The conditions, equipment, interactions and changes that a procedure could never show.
Straightforward dialogue across your organization
Speak plainly with – not at – crews, supervisors, managers and leaders to move information in both directions and decisions reflect field needs.
Education and participation
Help people understand the reason behind a requirement and invite them to take part in making the work safer and more practical.
Integrity and confidentiality
Handle difficult information carefully, communicate honestly and respect the responsibility that comes with independent external guidance.
Accountability
Make responsibilities understandable and follow through on what has been discussed, assigned and agreed upon.
Influence rather than authority
Build trust through observation, sound reasoning and clear communication—not authority for its own sake.
On the job and off it
Take what you learn at the worksite home with you - young eyes are watching how you do things around the house, in the garage, and at the lake.
Consequences exist far beyond the worksite
Remember that an incident affects more than a dashboard number. Its effects extend to families and communities for years beyond the day it occurred.
