FAMOUS QUOTES

“Harry is the right person to help make safety the focus throughout our organization and transform the organization’s culture where safety is not just a priority but a value,” said TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane. “We are very fortunate to have such a gifted and dedicated professional join us.”

It is very curious indeed how they actually think that hiring an executive will change a "culture"!

Unless of course this new safety guy plans on spending his days with the rank and file, not in an office talking to other white collar honchos.

The only true way to change a culture is from the minute a new employee walks in the door.

It starts at the screening process, continues with the training, and is nurtured by the management.

So far Trimet has failed at all three levels.
