PASS Inc.
Assists organizations to create a Positive and Proactive Safety Culture of Continuous Improvement
SupLex Safety Culture
®
A SupLex® Safety Culture in which the organizational members value having a positive and proactive Safety Attitude of Continous Improvement which underpins their safety decisions and actions. As a result of this mindset, they look for every opportunity to embrace the principles of Continuous Improvement in order to make their workplace safer for themselves and their fellow workers, and leave it safer for their cross-shift.
This progressive Safety Attitude will go beyond the work site; therefore, benefiting their families, neighbours and communities. No longer are the employees’ actions being motivated by compliance to safety rules or fear of reprimands; rather, they are solely motivated by the realization that Safety is controlled by their attitudes, decisions and actions and that they have a responsibility to make their surroundings Safer, whenever possible.
CELEBRATING OVER 34 YEARS
OF SAFETY
All the Consulting Services regarding PASS
were developed, delivered and owned by
J.S. Burns Consulting Services (a Sole Proprietorship) until December 15, 1993. On that day, Positive Attitude Safety System Inc. (PASS Inc.), which is a Federally Incorporated Company of Canada (Incorporated on October 27, 1993), purchased all Intellectual Property, Materials and Goodwill associated with the “work and system” of Positive Attitude Safety System from J.S. Burns Consulting Services.

We are very proud that over 90,000 workers and their families have benefited from the PASS System for more than 30 years!
In 1985, Jim Burns, the Founder and President of PASS Inc., introduced a basic prototype of what was to evolve into the Positive Attitude Safety System (PASS) to Cominco’s Sullivan Mine. This early version achieved significant results and in the early 1990’s was refined into the Positive Attitude Safety System complete with all key process components and coupled with Jim Burns’ unique implementation approach. However, PASS is also a collaborative process; thus it continues to improve and evolve with innovations from both our clients and consultants.
The PASS Safety Leadership Process is based on the concepts of Learned Helplessness, Positive Reinforcement and Intervention Therapy, which Jim Burns studied at the Universities of Victoria and Calgary and later utilized in the fields of counselling and corrections.
For more than 25 years, Jim Burns and his
colleagues have been working in hundreds
of Natural Resource Operations and other
organizations throughout the world and
have Offices in Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, and Chile.
