What does “managing safety” mean to you?

Solutions

Admin controls: procedures, policies, programs

Engineering controls and PPE

Insurance (safety net)

Training can address our need to communicate risk management for all these elements.

It’s about managing risk by controlling:

• People—the human element

• Locations (jobsites, corporate office)

• Things (assets—equipment, buildings)

Prevailing Views on Safety Training

Employer Majority • Check the box—compliance • I don’t understood it’s value

because I can’t measure the return on it (ROI)

• It gets in the way of production

• Training is ineffective because it can’t change human behavior in any real way

• “Why isn’t training solving the problem?” (Because the root cause is procedural or cultural)

Employer Minority • Integrated approach to risk

management • Training plan • Investment in the

individual—human capital is our greatest resource: hard and soft skill development

Message: training says the employer “cares about you…providing you with the tools to succeed” • Effective training saves the

company money

Sully’s keys to safety management

• Proactive—don’t let bad fortune come to you!

• Success is not measured by the absence of an accident but rather by the presence of safety—are we consistently doing things correctly?

• Team approach—set the tone, communicate expectations and align goals.

• Create an environment of shared responsibilities for the outcome.

He credits a “robust safety system…and being trained to a high performance standard…”

The devil is in the details

Keys to make training effective: Information or knowledge

must have a direct application

Has it been developed with the end-user in mind (stakeholders)

Is the learning experience memorable, will it “stick”

Does the learner understand what they are being taught

For more information, call 416.216.1067

Thoughtful training…

• Quality safety training and education programs say we care and want to invest in you.

• Messaging safety: do something daily to keep safety relevant—tool box talks, pre-task planning, casual discussion, etc. = “touches”

• “What get’s measured and rewarded gets done”.—Dan Peterson (Safety by Objectives)
