The Safety System• In general, a system is a group of
components that work together to accomplish a goal
• If one component fails, the system fails• Safety is a system too– Tools, materials, processes and people are
the components of the safety system– If one component fails, someone gets hurt.
• What role do you have in the safety system?

Guidelines– management commitment– worksite analysis– hazard prevention and control– safety and health training

Integrated Safety Management (ISM)
• Core functions of ISM– define the scope of work– analyze the hazards– develop and implement Hazard Controls– perform work within controls– provide feedback and continuous
improvement

medications – prohibit drug paraphernalia
• Energy drinks may also be prohibited

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)• You will be asked help identify and
eliminate or help manage workplace hazards and JSA’s will be part of the effort
• The JSA will– break down a job into steps– identify the hazards associated with each
step– help decide what actions are necessary to
eliminate or manage the hazards– develop a safe working procedure for a given
task

Behavior Based Safety (BBS)• BBS is a multi-stage process leading to

improvement

incident to your immediate supervisor– supervisors will then fill out a report and take
the necessary steps

Investigating Incidents• Your company will have an incident
investigation program• The goal is to help prevent a similar
occurrence, not to place blame • Your participation and cooperation is
necessary• Getting to the “root cause” helps improve
everyone’s safety

graduation from the SSE program
