Dangers of Rushing – Breakfast Forum

Great lessons learned from the Dangers of Rushing forum

The “Dangers of Rushing Forum”, hosted by Jaime Pacreu of Kerry Foods, was very informative to attendees.  The discussion revolved around their implementation of the “Safe Start” program and talked about what the impact of the program has been to Kerry and their employees.

A few key points were reinforced that all BC Safety Charter Signatories can relate to:

• Storytelling is an important way to teach and learn.
• You should encourage both positive and negative issues
• It is not “who did it” that is important, it is “why/how did this happen”

Attendees were also informed about Kerry’s “Eye For” program, which is a proactive measure used to help identify potential safety hazards.  Kerry ties this program to its performance reviews, and all employees are expected to make a monthly submission.

A special thank you to Jaime and Kerry Foods for the hospitality and site tour as well!
