Frontline Fundamentals - ‘I Am a Good Putter’ - What Golf Teaches Us About Safety Success
Here are some valuable resources you may want for your team - some at no cost even. iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo, this is held twice a year. you can earn CUSP/Certification points here - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ Utility Safety Podcast - Search ”Utility Safety Podcast” on every major podcast platform - https://utilitysafety.podbean.com/ iPi Forum it is free and a lot of fun via Zoom monthly - https://ip-institute.com/ipi-forum/ Frontline Fundamentals every 2 months, free again - https://ip-institute.com/frontline-webinars/ Incident Prevention Magazine - Free - Great resource - Highly recommend for Safety Professionals - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ 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/ Key Takeaways 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. Q&A (Question and Answers) 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. #UtilitySafety #FrontlineFundamentals #SafetyCulture #HumanPerformance #GolfAndSafety #SIFPrevention

Frontline Fundamentals - From Reaction to Response: Leveraging Emotional Intelligence on the Frontline
Here are some valuable resources you may want for your team - some at no cost even. iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo, this is held twice a year. you can earn CUSP/Certification points here - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ Frontline Fundamentals every 2 months, free again - https://ip-institute.com/frontline-webinars/ Incident Prevention Magazine - Free - Great resource - Highly recommend for Safety Professionals - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ 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. Key Takeaways: 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. #SafetyLeadership #EmotionalIntelligence #EPlusREqualsO #IncidentPrevention #WorkplaceCulture #HumanPerformance

Frontline Fundamentas - Prioritize Safety Now So It Becomes a Value Before It’s Too Late!
“Safety as a Core Value: Making Human & Organizational Performance Stick” 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. ✅ Key Takeaways Learning before failure: Unlike hot stove lessons, we can intentionally develop safety values before major incidents occur. Safety vs. “priority”: True safety is non-negotiable—unlike when we say “except when…”. The power of caring: Caring drives us to anticipate risk—like parents child‑proofing before birth. Practice HOP tools now: Saying “garage door down,” using packing checklists, proofreading—simple acts that ingrain safety habits. Event + Response = Outcome: A pause before reacting can turn rushed decisions into mindful actions. Choose growth over reaction: You can wait for an incident or proactively build safe practices because you care. ❓ 3 Questions & Answers 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.
