TH42 Proactively Identifying
and Planning for Risk in the
Aggregate Industry

Greg Gold, Brian Buck, Alexander
Edstrom, Jared Erickson, Stantec
The aggregates and construction
industries are highly competitive and
time-sensitive industries. Delivering
construction materials and projects on
time and on budget is hard work without
worrying about risks to your operational
well-being. Those of us who have spent

time in the aggregates industry know
that you cannot afford any significant
unplanned events and still reach financial and productivity goals. So we cannot
afford to ignore risk in hope that it will
not affect our day-to-day operations. We
will discuss Legal, Environmental, Water
Management, Geological/Geotechnical,
and Public Relations risk and how to be
proactive and plan now for what could
go wrong. Preparing for these situations
ahead of time and not having to rely
on your crisis management skills will
reduce your operational risk and save
you time and money.

TH44 Developing a Communications
Strategy to Support a Journey
to Zero

Justin Ganschow, Caterpillar Inc. and
Don Rosenbarger, Delta Companies
At every level of an organization, the
way leaders talk about safety has a
direct impact on attitudes, beliefs and
behaviors - which influence safety
results. A safety improvement journey
fueled by accountability and positive
recognition requires a communication
strategy that leverages a variety of written and active messaging opportunities
to inform, involve and inspire. Through
words and deeds, leaders must set a sincere and credible "tone from the top,"
managers must ensure accountability for
safety activities and front-line supervisors must champion a culture of zeroincident performance. Delta Companies
Inc. committed to an engagement-based
approach to safety improvement in 2015
and learned quickly that effective communications at each level deliver the
trust, responsibility and openness
required for measurable culture change.
This case study presentation will focus
on a strategy within a strategy - Delta's
communication tactics to ensure the
success of its safety culture initiatives.
