This case study explores the successful implementation of a Behavioral Safety Program at CAPE Industrial Services, addressing the challenge of high OSHA recordable incidents. Faced with 7 recordable accidents in 2008 and a TRIR of 2.54, the company sought solutions through targeted training and a cultural shift. By emphasizing responsibility, leadership, and positive reinforcement, CAPE significantly improved safety outcomes, reducing TRIR to 0.30 by 2010. This study outlines their journey, results, and future steps for ongoing safety enhancement.
