2006 Presentations
The core program that John Martin will be presenting in 2006 is:
- Moving from a Reactive Safety Program to a Preventive Safety Process: Building Safety into Your Organization
This presentation starts with a 5 minute video that illustrates a Reactive Safety System, its failures and consequences and how a reactive system can result in a continuous loop with no improvement.
The Presentation compares a Reactive Measurement System (trailing indicators) such as TCIR, Workmen’s Comp Cost, Lost Days, to Preventive Safety Activities (leading indicators) such as Safety Committee Activities, Observations of Safe Actions, and Building Safety into Work Tasks.
Examples of best practices will be discussed with the focus on how to achieve management support. The presentation will end with specific actions that safety professionals can apply to their organizations’ processes.
Objectives:
- Show how to differentiate between a trailing indicator and a leading indicator
- Show the correlation between management support and preventative safety activities
