5. Question: Ideas to keep safety committees alive and motivated. (Jennifer Watters) (Meeting 1/month/mtgs can be stagnant. (hard to find meetings times for all who are involved)  Mike H. 21 st - Scheduling is the last Thursday of every month and rotate the times to ensure all shifts have meetings on their shifts. Once per month.  Pat – Mod-Meet once per month. Most effective way to ensure we have an agenda before the meeting and we assign accountability. People have ownership in issues and a time table to get things accomplished. We assign things to teams so people can push themselves to get tasks done.  Steve – Formtec: Keep a schedule. Once per month  Kimberly – We list everyone in the plant to be part of the safety. We have incentives for criterion bucks. Employees can nominate each other to receive criterion bucks.  James: CEW – Currently we don’t have a safety program.  Chuck: Once per month. We put maintenance on the team. We are going to focus on putting operators on the team to get them more involved.  Carol – Revere: We started by having all employees submit safety slogans; than we had the employees vote. Be Alert…Don’t Get Hurt.  Wylie – Extreme: Don’t have a safety committee

6. Question: How do you keep employees interested in being a part of the safety committee? ( Tamera Talaski)  Adkev – When we find something on the floor, we recognize portions of the safety committee to focus on the issue to resolve it.  Kimberly – Employees on the Safety committee where identified by different colored shirts.  Mike – 21 st : We make sure our minutes are posted and make sure we do a safety watch for any issues. We also make sure we post and communicate immediately. At the end of our meetings, the entire safety committee visits the plant floor. We have a very dynamic president and he is involved in the safety committee. Things get done!  Sheri – 21 st : Ask! Go to people who you think would do a good job and ask them to join.  Pat – MOD: We appoint / ask employees to experiment with PPE and making the decisions. Worked with identifying safety glasses and gloves.

7. Question: What training do others include for new hires? (Sally McKee)  Pat: Mod: Found that a proper orientation was needed! We know have a longer orientation and more comprehensive. We cover topics and videos and go to the floor in the department with their supervisor and observe how people use PPE and run machines. Use a full day of safety orientation.  Jody-21 st -We use a full day of orientation and 8 different powerpoint presentations. One of the main things we do regarding PPE is going into hand tools and show why some tools are safer than other tools. Talk about specific circumstances on how not to get hurt.  Kimberly – Criterion: 4-6 hour orientation. Supervisors / supervisors actually shadow the new hires.  Tamera – Adkev: 2-week orientation. Frist 3 days in the classroom and going back and forth from the floor. They are TESTED One full presentation focused on safety. Review sheet on safety rules and we review this verbatim.  Wylie: We include all temporary employees in the same new hire training.  Jennifer – Richardson: We have high turnover but we lack the resources to do longer orientations. Use the staffing agencies for safety training.  Chuck: New hires complete a test on the computer and go through two-week orientation before they are released on their own. Getting the OJT…  Mike – 21 st : Everyone is assigned a trainer. One thing we train the trainers on is to ensure people are working safe; how to observe.

8. Question: What is the best practices to ensure PPE is worn on the job? (Tina Lambert)  Kimberly-We do the criterion bucks for using their PPE on a regular basis. Can purchase T-shirts, Gas Cards, WalMart cards,  Wylie-Extreme: We have a culture of safety. Nobody in plant should feel bad about telling another person to work safe.  Chuck – Metro Plastics: STOP program. Steven- familiar with STOP program and made our own based on our principles. More about raising the awareness for everyone. A great deal of observations are made. Use a near miss form that explains what happened and what the outcome was that prevented.  Pat-Mod: Two key things are that people need to be trained on using the PPE. Second is that the team leaders must take the lead in ensuring their people are following the procedures in using the PPE. WALK THE TALK!  Kimberly: Has an employee PowerPoint running on a TV visible to all employees. We communicate in different formats to grab the attention of people. Employees look forward to the safety messages.

9. Question: We currently track incidents. What other categories would be good to track? (Mike Hummel)  Steven – Formtec: Near misses, unsafe conditions, unsafe acts, safe acts. We have a safety audit process with different categories.  Pat-Mod: We use days w/o recordable accident. Recordables / Dollar figures associated with the claims and accidents. We also look at how long a person has worked at the company. We found that newer hires were more involved in accidents.  Wylie: Direct incident tracking including near misses.  Carol-Revere: Shift / Time / look for trends in near misses and accidents. We also track the types of incidents and “who” is having.

10. Question: Chuck: Any other at Risk Behavior programs other than STOP they have been implement to cover at risk behaviors, JSAs, ect…  Jody – 21 st ; Youtube videos (search in Youtube) MIOSHA videos, Unsafe Acts  Pat-Mod: Getting our supervisors taking the OHSA 10-hour course online. We are increasing the awareness of those that have influence.  MAPP sponsor a video contest: Each company produces a two minute video on an area of their own.  Carol: If we have an incident, we have cameras throughout the facility and we share it.
