Proverbs 30:5: “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.”
Safety Transformation: “The largest single-site cabinet manufacturer in the world was in a safety crisis, with their TRIR peaking at 7.82 in 2021—more than double the BLS average of 3.1 for their industry (NAICS 33711). After a tragic fatality in 2022, they implemented my Decisions-Based Safety Management System in 2023. The results were transformative: TRIR dropped from 6.99 in 2022 to 2.74 in 2023, 2.49 in 2024, and 1.01 in 2025—an average of 2.08 post-implementation. We define world-class safety as half the BLS average, or a TRIR of 1.55. By 2025, they surpassed this standard, achieving a TRIR 67% better than the industry average. Their LTIR also fell to 0.00 in 2025, exceeding the world-class threshold of 0.55, and their RTIR of 0.67 in 2025 is close to the world-class standard of 0.40.”
