"The safe behavior sampling process really allows an organization to zero in on existing critical at-risk behaviors that can lead to significant accidents and losses. I was fortunate enough to work with Randy during the development of this process which we used to identify potential weaknesses in conditions, methods, and administrative procedures that tend to cause certain at-risk behaviors. This approach really allows you to address root causes of at-risk behaviors before costly accidents occur."
