In this episode of Frontline Fundamentals, David McPeak and Doug Hill explore an unconventional but powerful metaphor for safety: the game of golf. Inspired by a putting lesson from PGA Pro Art Eklund, David discusses why "telling yourself you are a good putter" is the first step toward success on the green—and on the job site. We dive into the psychology of safety, moving beyond "thou shalt not" mentalities to a proactive focus on what we actually want to achieve. Learn how to build capacity to fail safely, why investigating success is more important than only studying failure, and how to change the "apathetic" culture often found in safety meetings.

Read the article: https://incident-prevention.com/blog/i-am-a-good-putter-what-golf-teaches-us-about-safety-success/

• Mindset Precedes Action: Just as putting starts with the belief "I am a good putter," safety success begins with a positive mindset. Henry Ford’s mantra applies: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't—you're right".

   

   

• Focus on What You Want: Most safety manuals are filled with things to avoid. True success comes from focusing on what to do (e.g., "keep your shoulders level" instead of "don't drop your shoulder").

   

   

• Build Capacity to Fail Safely: Human error is inevitable. A strong safety plan isn't just about "trying not to get hurt"; it’s about creating systems and using direct controls so that when a mistake happens, it doesn't lead to an injury.

   

   

• Investigate Success, Not Just Failure: We are excellent at reactive safety (root cause analysis after an accident). However, we must become proactive by investigating why things go right for the 99% of workers who don't get hurt and sharing those success stories.

1. Q: Why did David use a golf putting lesson as a metaphor for safety? A: During a conference in Glendale, a golf pro (Art Eklund) taught that making a putt starts with the internal monologue "I am a good putter." David realized that safety often focuses on the "water hazards" (accidents) rather than the "green" (success), which negatively impacts performance.

2. Q: What is the "CHEF" acronym mentioned in the transcript? A: It is a technical framework for putting that stands for Clubface, Hands, Eyes, and Feet. While technical skills are vital, David emphasizes that they only work if the mental game is solid first.

3. Q: How should organizations change their "After Action Reviews" or "Post-Job Briefings"?

A: Based on military and airline models, they should follow a 51% balance rule: spend the majority of the time talking about what went well and how to duplicate that success, rather than only focusing on what went wrong or "white noise" compliance.

4. Q: What does it mean to "build capacity to fail safely"? A: It is the recognition that because people are human, they will eventually make an error. A successful safety culture ensures that direct controls are in place so that the "energy" of an error is mitigated before it causes harm.

In this Frontline Fundamentals webinar, host David McPeak (Director of Professional Development at Incident Prevention Institute) and guest expert Doug explore the transformative impact of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) on safety culture through the framework of $E + R = O$ (Event + Response = Outcome).

The session challenges safety leaders and frontline workers to move beyond reactive behaviors—such as blaming and complaining—by learning to pause and choose responses that align with specific, positive outcomes. McPeak and Doug discuss how this tool applies to critical workplace scenarios, including near-miss reporting, PPE compliance, and accident investigations, as well as everyday life situations like road rage and parenting. They emphasize that while we cannot control external events (the "Circle of Concern"), we have absolute authority over our response (the "Circle of Control"), which ultimately shapes the culture and safety performance of the team.

The Formula for Success ($E + R = O$): Life is 10% what happens to you (Event) and 90% how you react to it (Response). To achieve a desired Outcome, you must focus on managing your Response rather than fixation on the uncontrollable Event.The Power of the Pause: The most critical step in using the $E + R = O$ tool is the "pause" between the event and the response. This brief moment allows you to move from an emotional reaction to a logical, outcome-oriented decision.Define Outcomes with Clarity: Before responding to a crisis or conflict, you must define your desired outcome with "extreme clarity." In safety, this outcome should almost always center on "preventing harm and encouraging growth".Expanding Influence: Using Stephen Covey’s model, the webinar highlights that focusing on your own behavior (Circle of Control) expands your influence. Conversely, focusing on external factors you cannot change (Circle of Concern) leads to frustration and reactive behavior.Culture of Reporting: How a leader responds to a reported error determines the future of safety culture. Responding with blame causes people to hide errors; responding with a focus on learning encourages voluntary reporting and transparency.Success Needs a Response Too: It is vital to respond to successes, not just failures. Ignoring success can lead to complacency, whereas celebrating it reinforces good habits and effective safety practices.

Q1: What is the primary difference between a "reaction" and a "response" in the context of $E + R = O$?

A: A reaction is often emotional and impulsive, potentially leading to negative outcomes like conflict or accidents. A response is an intentional choice made after "pausing" to think about the desired outcome, allowing for emotionally intelligent decision-making.

Q2: How does the "road rage" example illustrate the importance of defining your outcome?

A: In a road rage incident (the Event), you cannot control the other driver. If your desired Outcome is to arrive safely and on time, you must choose a Response (ignore/de-escalate) that supports that goal. Engaging in anger (a poor Response) increases the risk of violence or accidents, directly contradicting the desired outcome.

Q3: Why is "naming and blaming" incompatible with learning?

A: According to the webinar, you can either "name and blame" or "learn and improve," but you cannot do both. Blaming puts the focus on the past event and fault, whereas learning focuses on the response and future improvement.

Q4: How should a leader respond when an employee violates a rule, such as not wearing Class 2 clothing?

A: Instead of focusing solely on compliance or "policing" the rule (which implies a lack of care), the leader should focus on the hazard and the desire to "prevent harm." This approach demonstrates caring and is more likely to result in long-term behavioral change.

Q5: What is the "Circle of Control" and how does it fit into the framework?

A: The "Circle of Control" consists of your own emotions, decisions, and responses. By focusing your energy here, rather than on the "Circle of Concern" (external events, other people), you naturally grow your influence and reduce your stress.

Q6: Why is it risky to share "lessons learned" immediately after a major incident?

A: Sharing details too quickly often leads to speculation and the dissemination of inaccurate information. It is wiser to wait until a thorough investigation reveals the facts—similar to how the NTSB handles aviation accidents—to ensure the response addresses the root causes rather than assumptions.

Read the article: https://incident-prevention.com/blog/prioritize-safety-now-so-it-becomes-a-value-before-its-too-late/

In this episode, we explore why true safety goes beyond reacting to incidents—it starts long before. We unpack powerful, low-risk ways to practice Human & Organizational Performance (HOP) tools (like “say-it-out-loud,” checklists, E+R=O) in everyday life, building a foundation so these habits carry over when it really matters. Join us as we discuss how caring—not fear—drives safety, and why making safety a value rather than just a priority can prevent harm before it happens.

1. Learning before failure: Unlike hot stove lessons, we can intentionally develop safety values before major incidents occur.

2. Safety vs. “priority”: True safety is non-negotiable—unlike when we say “except when…”.

3. The power of caring: Caring drives us to anticipate risk—like parents child‑proofing before birth.

4. Practice HOP tools now: Saying “garage door down,” using packing checklists, proofreading—simple acts that ingrain safety habits.

5. Event + Response = Outcome: A pause before reacting can turn rushed decisions into mindful actions.

6. Choose growth over reaction: You can wait for an incident or proactively build safe practices because you care.

Q1: What differentiates making safety a “value” from a “priority”?

A1: A value means it’s non-negotiable—safety always comes first—while a priority can be deferred, leading to compromises and weakeness in approach.

Q2: How does practicing HOP tools in everyday life help at work?

A2: The everyday practice of tools like checklists or saying instructions out loud builds muscle memory and cognitive habits that carry over into high-risk situations when you really need them.

Q3: Why is “caring” so critical to building a safety culture?

A3: Caring motivates us to protect—even before danger is evident. Like parents covering outlets before a child arrives, caring can create preemptive protections that prevent harm.

#SafetyCulture #HumanPerformance #HOPTools #SafetyFirst #ValueDrivenSafety #IncidentPrevention

In this episode, we explore how safety leaders can learn from the timeless role of the shepherd. Just as shepherds guide, protect, and inspire their flock—even when wolves are near—effective safety leaders embrace Competence, Commitment, Caring, Courage, and Credibility to protect their teams and drive a strong safety culture. Join us as we break down the C5 Model and discuss practical ways to embody these principles every day on the job.

Read the article: https://incident-prevention.com/blog/the-good-shepherd/

✅ Key Takeaways

• Great safety leadership requires more than policies; it demands human connection, integrity, and courage.
• The C5 Model—Competence, Commitment, Caring, Courage, Credibility—offers a clear framework for building trust and influence.
• A leader must stand firm in the face of challenges (“the wolves”) to ensure the team’s well-being.
• Caring isn’t weakness—it’s essential for earning trust and motivating safe behavior.
• True leadership means being willing to do the hard, unpopular things to protect others.

3 Questions and Answers

Q1: What is the C5 Model in safety leadership?

A1: The C5 Model stands for Competence, Commitment, Caring, Courage, and Credibility. It’s a framework that helps leaders focus on personal qualities essential to earning trust and guiding their team toward safe outcomes.

Q2: Why is the shepherd analogy relevant to safety leadership?

A2: Like a shepherd protecting the flock, safety leaders must guide, protect, and sometimes confront danger to keep their people safe. It highlights the leader’s responsibility to anticipate threats and care for their team even when it’s difficult.

Q3: How can safety leaders show “Caring” without seeming weak?

A3: Caring means being genuinely concerned for your team’s well-being. It builds trust and respect, showing workers they matter. Far from weakness, it’s a strength that motivates people to follow safety guidance willingly.

Us Versus Them Mentalities

Have you ever read a book and ended up with so many sticky notes as placeholders, highlights and margin notes it was difficult to read again? This is one of those books for me. I was expecting a bunch of cool SEAL stories, which I got. What I wasn’t expecting and was thrilled to see is how insightful and practical the book is for individuals and organizations. In this presentation we'll establish what Extreme Ownership means and how we can apply it to our leadership and safety. Following that, we’ll use exerts from the book to discuss specific challenges we face every day and principles that will help us overcome those challenges. As the authors say, “The principles are simple, but not easy. Taking ownership for mistakes and failures is hard. But doing so is key to learning, to developing solutions, and, ultimately, to victory.”

Most people are familiar with the title “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” but they may not be aware of the book’s subtitle: “Powerful Lessons in Personal Change.” That’s why I am highlighting this book first in this series of articles – because, as Covey said, “If I want to change my situation, I have to focus on the one thing I can control – myself.”

This establishes a theme that will continue throughout each of the books I have chosen for this series. Successful and effective people are accountable and responsible to and for themselves and their teams. And perhaps most importantly, they understand how to use the gap between a stimulus or event and their response with a focus on their desired outcome in decision making.

Too often we focus so much on the nuts and bolts of safety (e.g., grounding procedures, Ohm’s law, work methods for a pole-top rescue) that we lose sight of the big picture. There’s no doubt the nuts and bolts are important, but they lose value if we don’t understand and apply the following safety axioms: Safety must be led, Culture drives behavior, people are not how we wish they were, Replace common sense with common knowledge, Measure what you want, Know the power of why and what, Engage in safety by design and defense in depth, Never need protective equipment including PPE, and Make everything plural.

How did you learn the stove was hot? Common sense tells us we have an innate awareness of hazards and yet I’m guessing most of us touched it and learned it was hot. What about brushing your teeth? Ever hurt yourself doing that? When was the last time you locked your keys in your vehicle or slipped on ice? Have you ever run into a stationary object while driving? Common sense would tell us these things should never happen and yet they do.

Hazards do not discriminate nor should we. If you have seen Game of Thrones, you understand how infighting among groups and teams can become so severe, they lose sight of their real enemy.
