At our HNC Campinas site in Brazil, safety is a collective achievement. Leaders from production, maintenance, and other departments work side-by-side with the operations team to ensure that SHE standards are understood from the bottom up, then applied from the top down.
This daily commitment to safety is reflected in six years of no incidents. Campinas practices hierarchy of controls, always focusing first on eliminating risks. Local leadership encourages everyone to participate in observation rounds, Gemba Walks (a Japanese Lean management practice whereby leaders physically go to the real place, or Gemba, where work happens), and audits, most of which are managed digitally for ease of use. Sharing learnings from incidents at other sites also helps foster a more proactive approach, and engagement is recognized via quarterly awards and celebrating achievements together. However, this is only possible due to an actively involved and supportive leadership, one that embraces initiatives and encourages growth. Being present, communicating openly, and giving people opportunities to participate have strengthened engagement and trust, ultimately improving safety.
Our safety record reflects the care, discipline, and responsibility of everyone at Campinas site. Consistent practices, strong teamwork, and attention to detail have helped create a safer workplace for all.
