To attain this goal, it will be necessary for contractor management to set the expectation that worker injury is unacceptable and to create a culture where employees at all levels accept ownership of their safety performance.

The Albuquerque District, in its continual pursuit of excellence in safety has established a goal of zero Contractor injuries. To attain this goal, it will be necessary for the Contractor management personnel to communicate to the workers an expectation of zero injuries; that it is no longer acceptable to take chances;

that shortcuts taken because of laziness or even while trying to do an efficient job are no longer welcomed;

that praise for shortcuts or chance-taking will not exist. It is imperative that Contractor management clearly sets forth the expectation for zero injuries so that the workers can begin to believe that the company is truly serious about safety. From the standpoint of worker psychology, zero is the only supportable goal.

In attaining zero-injury performance, there is no substitute for the concept of setting and communicating safety performance expectations to the workers.
