  "Yes, we're in the news," Mike J. White, director of global and North America Safety for General Motors, said."For many reasons, but many don't realize that today GM is the worldwide leader in automotive safety.With GM and the UAW working together since 1993 we have prevented one million workplace injuries."
  
  White said that GM did not have an active SH&E program until 1993 when Paul O'Neill, the former chairman of Alcoa Steel, joined the GM board.
  ...
  Since 1994, after the implementation of the new safety policy, GM has realized a 95 percent reduction in injuries and illnesses, White said.
  
  "How did we reach this milestone?"White said."The key to this success, and I can't stress this enough, is that you have to engage all employees in the process."
  
  In response to a question from the audience asking why GM's safety policies did not work before the change in 1993, White responded, "The UAW ignored our safety programs and the training we rolled out.The message of the plant floor leadership was ‘get the job done quickly, not safely.'
  
  "Since 1993 due to our the successful working relationship with the union, we are able to hammer out any safety and health issues we may have before even going to the bargaining table.Hence, that element is completed before the bargaining begins," White said.
  
  Financially, White said, due to a reduction in injuries and illnesses we have calculated that GM has seen a major reduction in having to hire replacement workers, fewer interruptions in operations generating lower costs, and have avoided 9,000 lost workdays, which is a significant cost savings based on the estimate that one lost workday equals out to $33,000 in costs.

  "They said, `We would've got our unions involved earlier,"' said Mike White, General Motors' assistant director of occupational health and safety and Weekley's counterpart on the joint committee.
  
  General Motors has tapped workers for ideas.A new training center in downtown Detroit has 40 specialists, trainers and program managers dedicated to safety.Workers learn how to avoid accidents on simulated assembly lines and loading docks and try to come up with ideas to prevent injuries.
  
  "Maybe it requires a hoist or an air gun or a platform so the person doesn't have to bend over," White said.

  It was only a few years ago, according to Mike J. White, director of global and North American safety for General Motors, that "the UAW ignored our safety programs and the training we rolled out."Why?
  ...
  At a recent safety management leadership symposium held by the American Society of Safety Engineers in Atlanta, White noted that safety now plays a key role in manufacturing competitiveness for the automotive giant.Since 1993, White estimates GM has prevented 1 million workplace injuries.and avoided 9,000 lost workdays.Since GM estimates that one lost workday equals $33,000 in direct and non-direct costs, those 9,000 days add up to a cost savings of $2.97 million for the company.
  
  "How did we reach this milestone?"White asked.
