Wheeler's Injury/Illness Prevention Program

Roughly a decade after Wheeler Logging had turned the financial corner following the death of its founder, another crisis hit: workers' comp rates that were 154% of payroll. In response, Holder approached former employee Dan Krusze, an experienced logger working for another contractor on the coast, and asked him to rejoin Wheeler as the company's full-time safety director in 1999.

"He put together a great, state-of-the-art safety program, and in three years we got our WC costs down to 80% of payroll," Holder says. Krusze remembers the company was doing a lot of things well safety-wise, but the biggest problem was a poor job of documentation. As a result, Wheeler was unable to defend itself on even the most routine WC claims or safety audits. "Things like employee handbooks, current training records and safety manuals--we just didn't have them," he says.

The safety director took to the new job with vigor, developing safety forms and programs and thoroughly documenting them. The primary document is the Wheeler Logging Inc. Injury and Illness Prevention Program, a document developed from CA-OSHA codes and guidelines that contains extensive information on Wheeler Logging's compliance, communication, hazard assessment and correction, training and instruction, accident reporting and investigating and overall record keeping processes.

The program also contains employee evaluation forms, drug testing consent forms, safety meeting minutes forms and even a map and emergency evacuation and transportation plan for the office.

The kicker is that much of the ongoing safety program information is eventually transferred to computer by scanning the completed forms, then placing them in a database that can be accessed by crew or individual. Additional records are also kept, including truck and trailer maintenance records.

Krusze says even the most hard-nosed "safety cop inspector" will lose their eagerness to plow through paper when he hands them the first four or five computerized safety records on CD and tells them to have fun. "Neatness, as well as thoroughness, tends to shorten inspections," he adds.

The emphasis on safety is reflected in Wheeler's bottom line and also its ability to survive. Initially, there was some animosity among employees, probably because they didn't realize how serious the situation was and that the changes simply had to be made, Krusze remembers.

Such a willingness to adapt reflects a management acumen that has enabled Wheeler to survive and thrive among numerous regulatory challenges.

"Dave Holder is a great facilitator and mentor. When he finds people he feels strongly about, he gives them a job and lets them do it," Krusze says. "Holder not only committed to improve the safety program, he also gave me the means to do it."
