Testimonials

"The missing link to modern day safety."

~ David Rogers, Regional Safety Director, INEOS Phenol


"If you want to be proactive, not reactive, about safety, you need BBS. It's as important to proactive safety as Six Sigma, Deming and other initiatives are to proactive quality. I'm sold on the process because it works. We've gone over six years without a lost-time accident - we're really preventing employees from getting hurt.

For a 'street smart,' hard-hitting look at what BBS really involves and how to make your process a success, you need Terry Mathis and [ProAct Safety]. You'll get practical explanations and real-life examples from someone who has walked in your shoes, not theory and book-smart advice from someone living in an ivory tower.

If you're going to implement BBS on your own or are considering the possibility, I've found no one better than [ProAct Safety] to teach you what to do. They give you everything you need to be successful."

~ Ben Akery, Plant Manager, Saint-Gobain Vetrotex America, North Charleston, SC


"With Terry Mathis's approach to Behavior-Based Safety, the employees develop the process for their facility. Because of this, there is a great sense of ownership that drives the employees to make the process successful. I especially like how we've been able to customize the process to meet the needs and preferences of each of our plants - it's much easier than changing the way you work to accommodate a 'one-size-fits-all' approach."

~ Jennifer Harp, Division Safety Manager, Temple-Inland Forest Products Corporation, Diboll, TX


"Terry Mathis excels when it comes to teaching a practical, commonsense approach to Behavior-Based Safety. He relates well to everyone, from people on the floor to those in the highest levels of the company. His extensive experience ‘in the trenches’ means you get level-headed, hard-hitting advice on everything from calculating the true costs of BBS to handling various implementation and improvement challenges. If you’re thinking about attending this seminar, I have two words for you: Do it."

~ Gene Burrows, Corporate Director of Safety, TAMKO Roofing, Inc. Tuscaloosa, AL
