IMPROVING PROCESSES

“Just because the numbers are good doesn’t mean anything. There are three ways to continuously improve performance numbers. One is to continuously improve processes, one is to get lucky, and the other is to lie. If you aren’t dedicated to improving processes, you’re doing one of the other two.” Dr. W. Edwards Deming Author and Consultant.

EHS PARTICIPATION: S.T.E.P.

STOP- THINK-EXAMINE-PROCEED • It involves the documenting

of hazards into a reporting system. Furthermore, it ensures that hazards are communicated and corrected.

IDENTIFYING HAZARDS WILL LEAD US UP THE STAIRS TO SUCCESS.

S.T.E.P. SIMPLICITY • S.T.E.P. is “user friendly”, it encourages

everyone to identify and report hazards in the workplace.

• It’s based on a “Find It” and Fix It” approach: Identify Correct “Find It” “Fix It”

Presentation Notes

Slide Show Notes Several key factors contribute to forklift/pedestrian accidents. One factor is that it’s often hard for forklift operators to see pedestrians. The operator enclosure creates blind spots that can limit an operator’s view just long enough to lead to a collision between a forklift and a pedestrian. Other obstructions, such as pallets stacked with materials, storage structures, or columns, also contribute to the visibility problem. Workers getting too close to the forklift, especially out of the operator’s field of vision, increases the chance of an accident as well. Another key factor is risk-taking by pedestrians. Workers in a hurry try to slip in front or behind a moving forklift, thinking they have time to make it, when in fact they don’t. Forklift operators not following safety rules and driving too fast or not looking behind and sounding their horns when backing up can also be a factor in accidents. Pedestrians not paying attention to forklift activity around them is responsible for many accidents as well. Finally, lack of cooperation between operators and pedestrians is also responsible of accidents. When employees performing different tasks share the same work area, they have to cooperate to keep safe. Can you think of other factors that could contribute to accidents? Lead a discussion about other factors that could lead to accidents.


S.T.E.P. COMMUNICATION
