SafetySMART Success Story: Building a Unified Safety Culture

Updated: Apr 10

When one of Iowa's largest construction companies, operating six distinct business entities, needed to strengthen their safety program, the challenge was clear: transform multiple independent safety approaches into one cohesive strategy.

 

Safety Program Assessment


Initial evaluation of the company's six business units revealed significant opportunities to enhance their safety programs. Each operation maintained its own safety protocols, creating inconsistencies in their risk management approach and limiting their ability to leverage shared best practices.

 

Our diagnostic revealed critical areas for improvement:

  • Fragmented safety programs across construction operations

  • Inconsistent regulatory compliance protocols

  • Varying levels of safety committee effectiveness

  • Unaligned accident investigation procedures

  • Different approaches to safety training and goals

 

The SafetySMART Solution


The Cottingham & Butler team utilized SafetySMART's diagnostic tool to assess each entity's safety program maturity and develop a unified approach. Our comprehensive solution included:

  • Standardized safety program implementation across all operations

  • Enhanced safety training protocols and materials

  • Structured safety committee development

  • Unified accident investigation procedures

The program's ability to generate a detailed risk summary and solution roadmap proved particularly valuable, allowing leadership to visualize strengths and opportunities across their six business units.
