We go beyond the minimum when we are personally committed
ISHN conducted an exclusive interview with Bob Veazie, who presented a talk on “Commitment-Based Safety: Highest Performance Safety” at the National Safety Congress & Expo, Sept 15-17, in San Diego.
Why do you say Commitment-Based Safety is the highest level of safety performance? Research proves that when it comes to human behavior, we give far more discretionary behavior (that above minimum) when working on something we are personally committed to rather than doing work because some else has chosen it that way -- told us we must do it and then watches us to ensure we are doing it (enforcement).
