SIF Prevention Program Focuses on What Matters Most, Paper360º September/October 2019

Like its clients in a variety of industries, including pulp and paper, Thompson Industrial Services is committed to safety as a top priority. The industrial cleaning services company has advanced and grown significantly over the last 30 years, but maintains a culture that puts people first. This safety-first, people-first culture is the driving force behind Thompson’s “SIF” Prevention Program. SIFs are Serious Injuries and Fatalities, and preventing SIFs is every employee’s number one mission.

To achieve this goal, Thompson developed a leadership-driven, multi-level governance structure that implements layers of protection, analyzes big data, and empowers all employees to promote safe behavior. Since putting these new programs in place, Thompson has improved its Total Incidents Recorded (TIR) by nearly 60 percent, even while experiencing a 15 percent growth in hours worked.
