PASS CLIENTS
A PPT slide that summarizes the Evolution of PASS over the 35 years through our clients, countries and industries.
"What PASS represents is a constructive and participatory process which I regard as essential to improving everything in an operation - Employee Relations, Safety and Everything else."
Don S. Carruthers
Retired Group Executive, Rio Tinto, Keynote Speaker at the International PASS Symposium, Brisbane OLD
PASS Inc. encourages an open exchange of ideas, strategies and approaches among our diverse number and types of clients. The process material is dynamic and "live" and, therefore, consistently evolving to make it more beneficial to the PASS clients. Our material is constantly being updated and these improvements are provided to the PASS clients electronicallyfor easy modification and dissemination on site. It is not uncommon for our clients to visit each other sites to gain insights into the PASS process and its implementation.
The first international PASS Symposium was held in Brisbane, Australia in 1995. Papers were presented (given by various presenters who ranged from "shop floor" employees to "board of directors" members) and workshops conducted. All attendees had one thing in common: their respect for this practical and useful process that assists their operations in establishing and maintaining a positive Safety Climate, which is continuously improving Safety.
