WHAT are we doing to demonstrate that?
Continuous Improvement in Safety
Safety is a core Ameren value and the foundation for everything Ameren does. Our focus continues to be consistent improvement in safety performance over the long term. Every employee is expected to never compromise their focus on safety and to challenge any unsafe act.
It’s about people and behaviors, not just numbers. At its core, Ameren’s safety strategy involves more than changing procedures—it involves changing culture. Two ways we've enhanced our culture towards values-based safety performance are to make sure we always talk about safety and also make sure we focus on learning from each other.
Our co-worker to co-worker (c2c) interactions help co-workers improve the quality and quantity of the conversations they have with each other around safety. A c2c interaction is designed to build trust and help employees make safety-focused learning the norm for Ameren workgroups.
Ameren's Good Catch – Near Miss Program is helping co-workers better share the safety lessons learned through an event or situation in order to prevent others from encountering similar circumstances.
Ameren co-workers, Jeremy Dace, Ed Guehne and Marcus Forrest review an Ameren Good Catch – Near Miss report. Dace, Guehne and Forrest are members of a team working to improve how the organization shares potentially hazardous situations and human-performance gaps in order to better keep everyone focused on safety.
