• Dramatic changes in the safety culture at your mine (from top to bottom).
• Tremendous increase in safety awareness throughout the organization.
• Results based accountability for safe work practices.
• Reduced accidents.
• Lower workmen compensation costs.
• Reduced MSHA & State violations.      

Because they are just that -- PROGRAMS....
        and Programs tend to lose their energy and
        effectiveness.
        

Most of these programs place their emphasis
        on the process -- not the results and only
        results can sustain an improvement system.
        

They fail to become the way your company
        does business -- they exist as an external
        process.
       

WCS is a three phase system that cannot fail to
       improve safety performance.
     ONE: The Safety Assessment Phase     
        

Introduction to WORLD CLASS SAFETY -- WHAT
        IS IT? WHO CAN ACHIEVE IT? HOW IS IT ACHIEVED?
      

Determination of the status and
        effectiveness of your safety practices.
       

What is the "Safety Temperature" of your
        mine? This survey includes input from your
        entire management team and work force. You can
        compare your results to our extensive database
        in the mining industry.

Specific safety concerns and issues are
        identified throughout the organization.
   

Targeted safety training classes are
        conducted.
 

    Initial safety goals are developed.
       
    

-Development of actions to eliminate safety
        concerns and issues identified in Phase One.
      

-Specific accountability time frames and
        measures are established.      

-Your management team and work force are
        mobilized in a campaign to accomplish their
        safety objectives.

-The specifics of this campaign are captured
        in an extensive report that is distributed to
        all employees at the mine. This is the "book" 
        that your mine team has written outlining how
        they will achieve World Class Safety status.
            

-This is a serious of ten monthly 
        "checkpoints" in your quest to achieve World
        Class Safety.
       

 -The WCS status report card -- Did we do what
        we said we would do? Did we achieve our WCS
        goals?
       

 -Development of the WCS plan for the next
        month.
        

WORLD CLASS SAFETY becomes the way your
        company, your management team and your work
        force does business.

Because it mobilizes your entire management
        team and work force to develop a world-class
        safety attitude and culture at your mine.

It establishes responsibility and
        accountability for safe work practices at all
        levels of your company.
        

It uses mining industry proven techniques to
        identify mine specific problems, issues and
        practices that negatively affect safety
        performance.
        

It includes targeted training in key safety
        areas.       

It develops key indicators and measures that
        become stepping stones to the attainment of
        world class status.        

It was developed by, and is implemented by
        mining people -- not theorists.
