The process is more important than the product.” 

James Reason, “Managing the Risks of Organizational Accidents.”

Doing the right things, even when no one is watching.

The organization collects and analyzes “the right kind of data” to keep it informed of the safety health of the organization – collects, analyzes and disseminates information on incidents and near-misses, as well as proactive safety checks.
