Four words you'll hear from me, and what they mean on the job

Named asset

One plant, one gate, one job, or one crew we agree to work on. Not the whole company on day one.

Two rooms

The office view and the floor view, scored separately. Never averaged.

The break

The place the program fails on a Tuesday. Stop-work, staffing, bad news, or what changed after the last close call.

The binder

The written safety program. It has to match the job or it is only a file.
