Tony says, “It’s not what we don’t know that gets us in trouble. It’s what we forget when we’re under stress or that we let slide when we’re in a hurry.”
The details count and those details reinforced by a safety culture helped to make Southwest Airlines the “safest” Airline with the least amount of delays and highest satisfaction from customers (as rated by the FAA year after year).
This program supports an organization in doing the same things well: attaining the highest safety rating while maintaining on-time performance and internal/external satisfaction. And, Tony says “It’s the Southwest Way: let’s have fun while we’re doing it”!
Tony has trained and worked with all levels of employees at Southwest – everyone from the airplane mechanic to the CEO. He learned how to relate to anyone and bring his signature humor, positivity and practicality to sometimes a technical or heavy topic of safety.
In this unique and refreshing safety presentation, Tony shares the S.A.F.E. formula and draws from his experience in human behavior and from some of the best practices he learned at the safest carrier in the country: Southwest Airlines.
The goals of the session are to create a positive safety culture – that gets your team back to work, re-energized to take ownership, to work together, to do what they know and build on it while holding each other accountable (in a positive way) to be safe at work, every time.
“Until you make it safe for everyone, you can’t get the best from everyone. Make it SAFE. Make it FUN. Get it DONE!” – Tony Brigmon
Safety starts with the details. Southwest is the only domestic airline carrier that takes their planes completely apart and puts them back together, to make sure they are perfectly assembled, with every part tested, and every part working properly.
The equipment is sound. In flight, every airplane has two pilots – they’re a team, that works together in a focused positive way. They hold each other accountable to do what needs to be done, to do it well, and do it efficiently and to keep people safe, every time.
That level of ownership, engagement, and safety (in flight and with equipment) is only found in the airline industry at Southwest. It’s the safety culture that makes the difference.
Tony brings humor, stories, and practical safety ideas to your attendees in this engaging safety presentation.
