Williams' Approach to Improving Safety Culture and Performance

Operational Excellence

    Striving for zero high potential incidents and advancing the safety culture, Williams is partnering with Pilko to perform consistent, Franchise-by-Franchise cultural assessments and Life Critical Procedure document reviews. The culture assessments, led by Pilko, are helping to improve safety leadership, employee engagement, transparency and overall alignment. Nearing the half-way mark on the initial Franchise assessments, Williams is already enjoying company-wide improvements that have exceeded our initial expectations:

  • Process safety incidents are down 70 percent since 2017.
  • Overall safety incidents are down year-over-year since 2017.
  • Safety leadership and employee engagement are improving.
  • A Safe Work Management (Life Critical) Mobile Application has been implemented company-wide.

This approach has been so effective for Williams that I want to share our experience and learnings through this Grey Paper so that others might consider using a similar methodology to drive safety culture improvement in their organizations.
