Safety Strategies Volume 3: Building a Safety Culture
This “Dealer Safety Strategies Volume 3” report explains the importance of commitment to safety at the workplace, provides safety tips for dealerships of every size, and it’s FREE!
Dear Rural Lifestyle Dealer,
The general activities of a service shop, parts warehouse or equipment yard lend themselves to potentially hazardous situations not typically found in most worksites. No matter a company’s situation, one factor remains consistent: a safety program is a must.
Regulation compliance drives safety programs at many companies, but there are other reasons why a comprehensive safety program is in your dealership’s best interest. For instance, lowering workplace injuries may reduce the premiums you pay for workers compensation insurance.
Safety programs could reduce costs related to replacing injured workers or repairing equipment or facilities damaged from an accident. An unsafe workplace could deter jobseekers, while a dealership that has been recognized for workplace safety could attract future employees.

Safety is successful when it’s ingrained in a company’s culture. It must be modeled and supported starting from the top down, then lived by every team member, every day.
Greg Erickson leads RDO Equipment’s safety culture, built on the company’s continuous improvement philosophy. Erickson and his team of safety specialists put systems in place that encourage worksite safety and ensure team members remain aware of their responsibilities for creating a safe work environment.
Implementing and following a safety program in a dealership setting comes with a unique set of challenges. Many organizations don’t have the resources to dedicate individuals to solely be safety champions.
Putting one person in charge of safety doesn’t mean it has to be their only job. Any employee in a management role can add the responsibility of Safety Lead to their job description.
