Safety matters. That is why Crown Equipment has developed a self-directed employee safety culture that works and can be implemented at any facility. By using this simple behavior-based safety approach, Crown Equipment has changed the culture of safety and reached benchmark levels of safety performance.
It is an anonymous, discipline-free, positive approach to improved safety performance that gives employees the appreciation they deserve and motivates them to change their safety-related behavior. The positive results of these peer-to-peer relationships can be modified to improve any area of manufacturing. And the integration of Lean principles into this Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) process makes it even more successful.
In this presentation:

- Hear how appreciating and motivating your employees is key to making this work.
- Learn how to integrate Lean principles into this BBS process.
