“By diving deep into data, process and hazards, Cathy leads through example to identify what’s driving the risk and developing scalable solutions that are not dependent solely on behaviors. Cathy has found that articulating the risk using analytical terms and easy-to-use language, as opposed to citing regulations or feelings, allows leaders to be mentally engaged in the solution development. This makes them partners in establishing an environment where safety is paramount to success, as opposed to having safety rules pushed on them.”
