I implemented a behavioral safety process at 25 food manufacturing plants through a steering committee and teams. This was an employee driven process. I was trained and licensed as an Internal Consultant (INCON) by Behavioral Science technology in Ojai, CA. I led plants to lowering the corporate injury rate average from 18 recordable incidents per 200,000 hours worked to 3. Four of my plants started at 33-44 and went to less than 9. All of my plants achieved permanent improvement. I dealt with all levels of management, employees, and corporate headquarters. Extensive travel was required for follow-up, consulting on results, goals, and action plans.
