(breeze blowing) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - So one of the ways that we've been able to use the tools that we have such as HCSS in this economy, is to look at our data. Where we need to concentrate on. For instance, my team, the safety team, we can look at HCSS. Where are, and not that we don't have any issues, but I can look at that data.
What do we need to be talking about? What do we need to be training on? What, because I've seen it a lot where, hey, the whole company is gonna talk about excavations today. Well, we have 50% of our teams not doing any excavations.
What does that serve them? So our team can go in there and look at our data and say, okay, this group over here, they need this. This group needs this. So it pinpoints exactly what we need to do, and that just saves on all fronts.
Because we're not just throwing something to the wall and see if it sticks. We're actually making a difference. One of the biggest problems is that we were working all off of lagging indicators. It already happened.
We can't do anything about it except learn from it. But with the near misses and observations, those are leading indicators. We have various near misses and various observations, and we use that data. And people can say, wow, that's a lot of near misses.
That's a lot of observations. But what we're seeing in correlation is that those incidents, these are going up, these are coming down. We went from, you know, right now our rates are below industry standards. And that doesn't happen by accident.
That happens because there's something being done. And it's that data that we're using, like I said, to pinpoint what we need to do. (upbeat music)
