Industry sign banking louisiana presentation safe
the greater Baton Rouge industry alliance is a trade association whose members are made up of 57 industrial and having industrial manufacturing companies located in eight parishes around the greater Baton Rouge area our purpose is to drive and develop new solutions to issues such as safety performance and workforce development it started off as a group of site managers from around the area that got together to pursue items of common interest to safety being first and foremost and then also workforce development tonight we're here to honor the contractors and their safety performance in our plans we work together as not just a board of directors but the entire membership to draw try to drive the safe performance of our companies and our contractors by learning from each other our number one focus is always on the safety of our employees of our communities so we work together we have things that we can share every day around safety we are recognizing excellent safety performance of the contract companies who work in the plants the board has done a wonderful job of getting the membership to embrace the fact that they have the opportunity together to make this the safest industry that anyone can work at if you look at the safety record of our industry it is tremendous and that has come about through the close working of these companies in these contractor companies between the owner companies and the contractor companies we sport a very good safety record but we never rest until we're perfect we're honoring contractors and soft and hard crafts and then also specialty contractor soft crafts are the ones that are like a scaffold building painters things like that and hard crafts are the welders pipefitters electricians and then specialty are the other ones that don't fully fit neither of those two examples of safety excellence include a low injury rate so many of the companies have gone thousands or millions of hours with no injuries other examples includes things like instituting a new buddy program or something innovative where the companies have broken through and improved behaviors that lead to zero incidents a safety is the first and foremost and most important thing we do its operating our plant safe safely is how we get our license to operate the communities we operate in and expect to stop right them safely and we owe that duty to our communities so that's why it's important our contractors are working our sites they're part of what we do we have an emphasis this time this year on one team that we're all in this together that it's just as important that a plant employee that works for me goes home safely as well as all the contractors that are on our side when you look at the award winners they have put like all the companies so much effort into making sure that all of the systems are in place so that all of their employees go home safely every day and if you look at some of the winners we've had and some of the companies they do things like bill scaffold assemble pipe work on equipment clean the equipment and they put processes procedures together they motivate their employees to make sure that everyone is watching out for each other tonight's theme I think it's perfect it comes from saying that the site director in Louisiana operations for Dow has one team which means we all work together we all watch out for each other and make safety the top priority so when I walk out in the field I know that the person that's building the scaffold is watching out for me just like I as a maintenance director I'm watching out for he or four sheep that's important because our communities expect the industry's to be safe and our companies and our employees expect to go home the same way that they went to work every day they want to go home to their families safely every day we share best practices we get together with technology exchanges when we have safety experts come in and discuss what they're doing in other places things they've seen we also get together and we've developed a hydro blasting standard this was an area that we thought we needed a lot more work on and so we've developed a standard now for all of hydro blasting contractors that they need to they'll need to meet that standard by the end of this year they won't be able to work in our plans the award wimmer winners are chosen by a very dedicated group of individuals from the gabrielle organization we have wonderful staffs and all of our plants very committed to safety so they spend their time interviewing going through the submissions going through the nominations and looking at the very detailed criteria to pick the award winners out but everybody who's nominated is a winner everybody is who is nominated means one of the owner companies thought enough of that contractor safety performance to say they need to be nominated they need to be considered everybody is a winner tonight this is a great event I'm looking forward to it and hope you have a good time my name is connie fabry i'm the executive director of the greater baton rouge industry alliance welcome to the 18th annual greater baton rouge industry alliances contractor safety excellence awards banquet I would like to thank all of our attendees this evening for your dedication each day to making our workplaces safe this evening is a tribute to all of you our theme for tonight is one team a team is not just people who work at the same time in the same place a real team is a group of different individuals who share a commitment to working together to achieve common goals no one is equal in experienced talent or education but they are equal in one vitally important way their commitment to the good of the organization and just like in sports in industry it takes hard work dedication and achieving a certain level of discipline to keep your safety programs performing at the optimal level to accomplish the job flawlessly and our safety efforts have shown in 2013 that building teamwork is is central to developing an effective team and when we go through our life in this industry being safe practicing safety and achieving that

recognizing the safety performance of individual companies to convey debris a strong support of contractor safety performance and acknowledge that our contractors are an extension of our own workforce we want to make kibriya member workplaces injury free and we are counting on you to help us achieve this goal and its success or its failure really does depend upon each one of us in the room tonight I would like to introduce our special guest for this evening that some of you have already had the pleasure of meeting this person is a Louisiana legend and one of the greatest college baseball coaches of all time this coach is unyielding desire to succeed has achieved him five national championships 11 College World Series appearances 7 SEC championships and he has been named national coach for the year five times during his 18 year coaching career at LSU he compiled a career record of over eight hundred seventy wins was inducted into the college baseball hall of fame in 2006 the Louisiana sports hall of fame and to the American baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame we will forgive him for being a University of Miami graduate since he has turned LSU baseball into the nation's premier program and LSU athletics into the premier power that it is today but ladies and gentlemen please help me welcome coach Stanley skip Bertman this evening I'd like to talk a little bit about safety and of course your experts but I want to talk about believing you can motivation and of course safety and teamwork sometimes using athletics took a your funny bone make you think and of course hope you touch your heart Sports is a lot like life you do it every day it's got its ups and downs it's forever moving forward forever changing it's got rules it's got official it's got boundaries people push and search and chase excellence even perfection and of course everybody learns about teamwork and like you have already been told safeties and added dude it's how you feel attitude is how you feel about your family how you feel about school how you feel about athletics or how you feel about anything at your attitude and you've grown up we've grown up in a culture of safety I mean from the time you were too young and mom said don't cross that Street without me to the time you're bigger and mom said look both ways look left look right and then look left again don't run with those scissors don't wave that pencil you poke somebody's eye out all the way to today's guys on the top of tall buildings tied off to fire retardant clothing to an attitude and the proud feeling that you have in safety and I applaud that for you even a simple job like a flange a pipe fitter and a welder they're working together there is teamwork and they got to mitigate even though this seems like a small job they got to mitigate the situation circumstances i guess like you can never eliminate every risk every time but there's no doubt about it honest to god i would feel safer in your plant as a worker or visitor then i would at my house because you use the best there is to ensure the safety at the home people have to make a decision do we want to go that far or does it hurt that much but you don't do that you fill out a JSA every single time when you think about it I always told the players in critical situations as you should tell as supervising their awareness to be available what's going to happen next heighten your awareness grow an antenna and make sure that you can see everything around you you can foretell have some kind of look like Wayne Gretzky always knew where the puck was going to be and somehow he was aware Derek Jeter plays in the right spot I guess that makes them they had a higher level of awareness and that's of course what you're doing so as a coach if I want to hit and run and I don't have to explain much start the runner from first base when the guy you know it was the pitch and I really just want to stay out of a double play but if the guy hits the ball well getting second base he might even get him to third or score but there's risk what if they pitch out and catch my runner what if my batter swings and misses and they throw to run around one of you is a line drive and they catch it short a double them off at first I can't eliminate all the risk but I can mitigate like take it 2-1 pitch they're not got a pitch out when
t's two on one okay or how about this I did make sure you get a good contact hitter up you know guy that doesn't swing and miss a lot you know he puts the ball and playing knows his role I can mitigate some circumstances okay and maybe he'll end up where he belongs at second base to third now I've never read this anywhere nobody's ever said this to me but I want your purple on this 15,000 years ago the caveman that worried about his safety up lasted the caveman who did not what do you think yeah you agree yeah yeah well congratulations to all the winners tonight and congratulations to Connie and her staff we as owners and operators of industrial facilities get our license to operate from the state but really it comes from the communities in which we operate we must build the trust
