Safety Enabling Systems Evaluation
Identifying Priorities for Sustaining Safety Excellence
For most organizations with good to excellent safety performance, the move toward improved performance is not a function of increased time spent on safety. Instead, these organizations decide which activities are absolutely crucial to success at reducing exposure and devote time and energy to improve the quality of these activities.
BST's Safety Enabling Systems Evaluation helps organizations zero in on the highest-priority, most effective safety performance activities so their employees spend less time, overall, on safety, but see much greater benefit from the time spent.
While often adapted to the organizational situation and needs, safety enabling systems typically fall into the following major categories:
- Hazard recognition and mitigation
- Skills, knowledge and training
- Policies and standards
- Exposure reduction mechanisms
Through an efficient combination of document review, focus groups and analysis, BST's Safety Enabling Systems Evaluation provides an organization with a snapshot of the perceived value of—and time dedicated to—activities within each safety enabling system. With this comprehensive picture of what is happening, senior management can confidently work with employees at all levels to determine what should be happening.
As a result, by allocating time and resources to the most highly-leveraged exposure reduction activities, your organization will accelerate progress toward its safety performance milestones.
