Safety seems to compete with the process of getting the job done .Fact is that when safety is dialed in it actually makes everything run smother. Fun Fact Thomas E. (TED) Boyce, Ph.D. is the only applied psychologist, formally-trained professional musician and recording artist, author, keynote speaker, university professor, Fortune 100 business consultant in the world. Ted Boyce’s company tag line is were not just preventing injuries we are improving lives. When safety is run at its optimum you see other things like production being up so that’s improving production improve quality, even improved worker morale. The key is not to force safety upon the workforce it is to get them involved i and engaged in their own safety. A great, great way to get employees to buy into the safety, especially when we show them that we as the employer care about them ,then there's this unique reciprocity in that they start caring about you and your business. Seems like the buzz around safety is that has to be boring subject but it really doesn't have to Bing it can be fun he can be exciting to be interesting and it can be very Profitable on both ends of the spectrum employee and the owner. So here's a question if you have signs up that say XO many days without an injury or 125 safe days does that necessarily mean you're working Environment is safe? Within proof safety and things running smoothly then there should be increased profits. Although we can’t forget about the people side of the equation. When safety is not an important issue then we have injuries lost time that means lost revenue in the construction industry the numbers run for direct and indirect cost on the low side from 28 k to 35 k That's time out of work, workmen's Comp. retrain, training another employee to fit that slot till the other person comes back .A lot of unnecessary work involved when an accident happens. So when we start to do things in the safety arena and think I'll be working on the minimums that might be deemed by OSHA or the insurance company or things of that nature. We really start to see the benefits of the safer work place that we discussed earlier when we go beyond the minimums. Really the upfront training in the safety of the company is actually an investment in the well-being of not just the company but the employees of the business and owner serve the community better.
Ted Boyce has a unique approach to his to safety where he how's the owner or the employees figure out why they do certain things and try to create a habit of avoiding those behaviors instead of just having a check list of safe habits or safe actions. So communication is key factor in this safety process.

Through his website, Out of the Bucket.com, he provides contractors with resources to develop systems for every area of the business. Helping his clients to better build sustainable profitable businesses Systems need to n be in writing if it’s not in writing and done verbal it’s not consistent, sort of like playing that game of telephone. The nice part on systems is that the systems create a duplicable process each and every time. So how do you create systems? Brian says first sit down and figure out the maybe 3 biggest problem areas you are having and just start with them .i could be customer service ,it could be make sure the vehicle is stocked properly before leaving for a job, to a simple flow chart for work procedure. But wwhat ever it is start with the 3 that are the biggest then they are documented then go to the next 3 and so on until you have your operations manual. Bu=y taking care of the 3 it will relieve so much stress in your life and free up your time. Its like trying eating the elephant you do it one at a time. The ultimate goal is to document what you want done and how you what it done. It’s really important to get it out of your head. The key is getting consistent results. Sometime the problems we have with in our business are inter related if handled properly it will eliminate ancillary problems. The systems we create will help us to better business people in the market place. Within our systems we help our client’s solve their problems but we have to ask them a series fo questions to find out what they are so we can effectively solve the problem , yes that is a system . Systems help us run our business instead our businesses running us.
