1. For Labs And Proving Grounds
Lifesaving Rules,
Common Safety Rules
& Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
GM is taking the next critical steps in transforming our safety culture.
Today I’ll be reviewing our Lifesaving Rules and Personal Protective Equipment rules. Both will become effective on Jan. 1, 2018.
We Can Do More To Prevent Injuries
For Labs And Proving Grounds

2. Safety Is Everybody’s Concern
UAW-GM Lifesaving Rules 
These rules have been developed in response to the fatalities that have occurred at our sites since 2000. 
Personal Protective Equipment Rules
Focus on the most common injuries.
Create consistency at our sites across the globe. 
Relatively simple steps that can help eliminate life-altering injuries.
2016
24,000 injuries globally
2016
We will likely record about 24,000 injuries globally
GM recorded approximately 24,000 injuries globally last year. Unfortunately, it looks like we will have about the same number of injuries again this year.  That is unacceptable.  A fair question to ask would be: “What are we doing differently?”  These changes are some of the ways we will be working  differently to help drive to our goal of zero injuries.  
GM Lifesaving Rules.  These rules have been developed in response to the fatalities that have occurred at our sites since 2000.  Nothing is more important than these actions.  Make them known to your teams and visible at your sites.
Personal Protective Equipment Rules.  These rules focus on the most common injuries at our sites. They’ll create consistency at our sites across the globe.  In many instances, these requirements are relatively simple steps we can take that will greatly reduce the potential for life-altering injuries for people.

5. New PPT and Lifesaving Rules
10/11/2017
The Lifesaving Rules and the new PPE rules will impact everyone who works at or visits our Manufacturing sites, labs, proving grounds and offices.
Although the policy specifically addresses GM sites, it also applies to GM employees working offsite or remotely. That includes visiting suppliers, when you’re at conferences or training, at a show, a dealership, etc. The GM-wide guidelines apply in “office-like” settings, the additional Manufacturing and Warehouse guidelines would apply on the floor at a supplier, in the garage at a dealership, in a warehouse, etc.
(Insert additional details of how these requirements will impact your audience.)
