KC talks with Justin Ganschow and Kelly Scott from Caterpillar Safety Services.

Caterpillar Safety Services is focused on building a culture of safety and resilience in organizations. They help companies improve their safety results by addressing the gaps in their safety toolbox and focusing on culture and leadership. The goal is to create a resilient safety culture that resists pressures to compromise safety. The shift towards a strong safety culture is driven by the changing workforce and the recognition that caring for employees’ well-being is essential. Lagging indicators, such as recordable injuries, are not effective KPIs for safety. Instead, organizations should focus on proactive measures and recognize positive behaviors that contribute to safety.
