Industrial Safety Supply through Appreciative
Inquiry

• Texas Safety Supply will have the Safety Supplies
  that you need to assist you to jettison your
  current results and make your workplace a Better,
  safer place to work.
• Lasting Changes to Reduce on the job injuries
• The only doorway to long term change and long
  term success is far different the injury
  prevention plan used by most Mid to Large size
  companies today. I suggest an approach to buying
  Industrial Safety Supply products through a more
  inclusive, extensive process that we apply
  through a David Cooperrider and originator of
  the Appreciative Inquiry approach to Problem
  solving.

• The Appreciative Inquiry approach to problem
  solving and Corporate Change Is a method that I
  believe will help you achieve long lasting
  results and a long lasting change in the culture
  of your workplace. It's not a quick Fix approach,
  but it is an approach that can and will bring
  rapid improvement that continues on a positive
  trajectory.
• More about David's approach to Problem solving in
  a bit. Quickly, a review of how the process
  works in most Mid to large size companies today.

Purchasing Industrial Safety Supply Products

• Selecting the right Industrial Safety Supply
  products for your facility and the preferred
  Safety Supplies can be a daunting decision in the
  workplace. The age old question of balancing Cost
  and quality. But an Industrial Safety Supply rep
  is only part of the answer in an Injury
  prevention process. It's not the "End of the
  Line" as the Travelling Wilburys used to sing.

Old School Problem Solving

• Typically in the Corporate world a CEO, President
  or other bigwig sees that a Poor safety record
  has caused a company's insurance rates to go up
  and is having a negative impact on investors in
  that company. Poor Injury Rates have a negative
  effect on bottom line of any company. So Costs
  are up, profits are down and now the President
  knows that he has to do something before the
  Board of Directors Meeting next month as she will
  surely be questioned about what they heck is
  going on within our Company? So what does she do?
  It's time for the Old "Action Plan".

Industrial Safety Supply and Implementing change
Typically, an important Leader within an
organization decides that there is a need for a
change within the organization. He calls together
his underlings and direct reports and informs
them that their is a need for a change and "dad
gummit" it it better happen pretty quick and it
better achieve the desired result. They are
several layers removed. They're the analyst. It's
what they do and what they do it well. They
analyze facts, numbers, trends and come up with a
well intentioned solutions.
7
The Old Cram Down Method of Implementing the new
Safety Plan

• Now it's time to disseminate the plan, so they
  send the plan down to Regional and Facility
  Managers and normally send along some "fear and
  threats" in the envelope as well. "Implement the
  plan they say." So these mid managers do some
  implementing. But now the Mid Manager has done
  their part of the implementing the plan from "on
  high". Now it's get passed on in the game of
  telephone to the next layer.

8
Pass the Industrial Safety Plan to the Front Line

• "Tag", now the shift supervisor or the shift
  manager is it. Now they are told why the Plan is
  important and must be implemented. In a hurry. So
  the shift supervisor, having lost some of the
  message again in the "telephone" chain of
  communication, explains the Plan to the frontLine
  employee, he has them sign the Meeting Log to
  show they have heard about the Plan.

Long Lasting Changes in Industrial Safety Supply
and Injury Prevention
I became a believer in this approach to Injury
prevention and Purchasing Industrial Safety
Supply products approximately fifteen years ago.
I worked at a truly leading edge organization in
the Less Than Truckload Freight business as a
Facility Manager that taught these Appreciative
Inquiry approach to implementing change to Senior
Managers as well as other selected managers and
it became the way for 'doing business' in that
company.

An Appreciative Inquiry Approach to Injury
Prevention and Purchasing Industrial Safety
Products

• The Appreciative Inquiry approach to solving
  problems begins from the Bottom of an
  organizational chart and Flows up. So, the
  absolute reverse top down approach to Most Mid to
  large size companies problem solving that goes on
  today.

11
Employee Involvement in Selection Industrial
Safety Supply Products

• Top down plans, how ever well intentioned, rarely
  result in Long Term culture change. Bottom up
  plans, with top level equal involvement,...well
  those plans work well. They send people home
  safe. They put the right Industrial Safety
  Product on the employee to keep them safe while
  performing the tasks that have potential for
  injury. The Bottom line cost for Industrial
  Safety Products actually go down because
  employees know that Management cares and buys
  them the Best Industrial Safety Products
  available so they can do their job well, and do
  it in a Safe manner.
