The Vanscoy site had observed a pattern of slips and trips over several months, resulting in significant injuries. As Killian reviewed these incidents, he observed specific commonalities. Two incidents involved a specific work boot. Killian began inquiring about the boots with workers in the field. After creating a survey to gather workforce feedback, Killian confirmed that most workers wearing the boot found it slippery in cold conditions. Killian’s findings were provided to the boot vendor and the manufacturer. This feedback inspired the manufacturer to develop a boot with a high-traction sole for cold weather.
