Socialising the process of reporting dangerous situations




Agenda

• About me

• About Shanks and Chemgas

• Scenarios: Why, How, What

• Goals pilots

• Experiences


About me


Scenarios

• What

• Use IBM Connections Cloud to communicate and collaborate

• How

• Report dangerous situations

• Communication center during crisis

• Why

• More and better reports, to prevent more dangerous

situations(Shanks)

• Have open, continuous contact with multiple parties, to solve

the issue faster


Goals

• The QSHE (Quality, Safety, Health, Environment) group needs to have a coninuous, open way of communication when there is a crisis.

• Current communication tools do not suffice.

• The open, secured communication is like a log, and can be used to learn and create best practices, and new safety regulations.


Open communication

Phone lines are always busy. People cannot get through to the QSHE manager. Information is slow.

Stimulate and motivate

How can we motivate employees to report more?

• ‘Report a safe situation’

• Colleague with the most reports of themonth

• The best idea for a safer work place

• Share facts and numbers

• Share success


Feedback and documentation

• Give feedback on reports

• Thanks colleagues for reporting.

• Need more information? Ask and share in the community.

• Meanwhile what happens in RAS?

• Is it solved? Share that with the report!

• Inform employees about safety

• In general (numbers, reports, campaigns, government info)

• Share stories about accidents / incidents


Experiences

• Quality Managers tend to ‘ rebuild’ the formal system.

• A culture change is needed.

• Mobile device usage is often forbidden on locations!


Thanks!
