As a result, both GTE's incident-prevention program and employee behavior toward safety has improved. GTE Florida Pres. Peter A. Daks devised a scheme that empowers each employee to take the necessary course of action during emergencies and gives all the firm's personnel equal responsibility for maintaining safety standards.
