"We focus on consistent communications about safety and ex- pectations of personal responsibility" Mike Ross, Belton plant manager, added, "I am very proud of the Belton employees. When we are asked how we maintain our safety culture, I'm quick to point out that our team has a strong sense of pride in the work we do, and each person has accepted personal responsibility for safety. Using the principles of SafeStart, we are learning to use the same concepts and behaviors at home with our families that we do at work."
