SAFETY CULTURE
•The introducJon of safety management concepts lays the foundaJon upon which to build a safety culture •Safety culture cannot be “mandated” or “designed”, it evolves. •It is generated “top-‐down”
Positive Culture
Positive culture
Flexible culture People can adapt
organizational processes when faced with
emergencies, shifting from the conventional hierarchical
mode to a flatter mode.
Learning culture People have the willingness and the competence to draw
conclusions from safety information systems and the
will to implement major changes.
Informed culture People are knowledgeable about the human, technical,
organizational and environmental factors that determine the safety of the system as a whole.
Reporting culture People are prepared to report their errors and
experiences
Just culture People are encouraged (even rewarded) for providing essential
safety-related information. However, there is a clear line that differentiates between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.

The management dilemma…………..
Production Protection
Resources Resources Management levels
Supervisor “Every one who undertakes, or has the
authority, to direct how another person does
work or performs a task is under a legal duty
to take reasonable steps to prevent bodily
harm to that person, or any other person,
arising from that work or task”.

Concerns?
• What are your concerns relevant to your duJes as a supervisor according to the Workplace Safety and Health Act and RegulaJons?
• We hear about due diligence? What does this mean?
• Where do you begin?

Some quesJons you should be asking: • Do you know your responsibiliJes? • Have you informed your workers about their rights and
responsibiliJes? • Do you have a process to idenJfy, analyze and control risks? • Can you demonstrate efforts to reduce workplace risks? • How do you communicate safety-‐related issues to workers? • Do you have a process to report and learn from accident
invesJgaJons? • Do you regularly review and update your safe work procedures? • Can you demonstrate a safety management system exists? • How do you verify the educaJon and training of workers? • Do you have a process for documentaJon and/or record keeping?
2015-‐01-‐26
Supervisor ResponsibiliJes • Ensure all workers are informed about the hazards (known and potenJal) in
their workplace. • Ensure all workers are trained on emergency and safe work procedures • Ensure all workers wear appropriate personal protecJve equipment • Ensure all incidents are invesJgated, corrected, and followed up to ensure
correcJve acJon is effecJve • Ensure inspecJons are done and substandard pracJces are corrected. • Ensure meeJngs are held to discuss safety concerns (toolbox talks, safety talk
sessions prior to shid, etc.) • Ensure workers concerns are discussed and addressed and are consulted. • Ensure all acJviJes relevant to safety and health are documented (method to
display due diligence)

CONSEQUENCES • Unsafe Work Environment
– Direct Costs – Losses Due To: • Decreased ProducJvity • Increased Insurance Costs due to Injury • Other
• Regulatory Non-‐Compliance – ResulJng in PenalJes – ProsecuJons – Criminal Negligence

FUNDAMENTALS
Worker Rights and ResponsibiliJes • Right to know • Right to parJcipate • Right to Refuse Unsafe Work • Right to Non-‐Discriminatory AcJon

Hazard IdenJficaJon, Assessment and Control
Hazard IdenJficaJon/Assessment (some methods): • Job Hazard and Control Analysis – ObservaJon of work being performed with the intent of looking for hazards and documenJng appropriate controls
• Risk Assessment of all hazards • Direct ObservaJon • InspecJon And Review of Previous InspecJon Reports • Review of Injury/Illness Reports • Review of Incident InvesJgaJon Reports • Review of Incident Report StaJsJcs
Which hazard is the toughest to control and why?

Hierarchy of Controls
Requires a physical change to the
workplace
Requires worker to
wear something
Elimina'on/Subs'tu'on
Requires worker or employer to do something
Most Effec've
Least Effec've
CONTROLS: Engineering CONTROL AT THE SOURCE!
Limits the hazard but doesn’t enJrely remove it.
Local Exhaust
Other Examples: Mechanical Guards
Wet Methods for Dust Enclosures/IsolaJon DiluJon VenJlaJon
Proper equipment Re-designed Tools

CONTROLS: Administra've Aimed at Reducing Employee Exposure to Hazards
but Not Removing Them! � Changes in work procedures such as:
� Written safety policies/rules � Schedule changes, such as:
� Lengthened or Additional Rest Breaks � Job Rotation � Adjusting the Work Pace
� Training with the goal of reducing the duration, frequency and severity of exposure to
hazards

CONTROLS: PPE Personal Protec've Equipment Control of LAST RESORT!
� Special Clothing
� Eye Protec'on � Hearing Protec'on
� Respiratory Protec'on

InspecJons (formal and informaJon)
• InspecJons (random -‐ informal or planned -‐ formal) are important as they allow you to: – idenJfy exisJng and potenJal hazards and unsafe pracJces – listen to the concerns of workers and supervisors – gain further understanding of jobs and tasks – determine underlying causes of hazards – monitor hazard controls (personal protecJve equipment, engineering
controls, policies, procedures) – Implement correcJve acJon

• Looking for opportuniJes for improvement
• Looking for unsafe pracJces -‐ specific to the work area/task

Eight Steps in an InvesJgaJon 1. PreparaJon (obtain invesJgaJon kit) 2. VisiJng the scene 3. InformaJon gathering (Interviews/Statements)
4. ExaminaJon of physical evidence (Gather and record the facts/evidence)
5. Analyzing the evidence (Evaluate the facts, then draw conclusions)

DISCIPLINE Before taking acJon on an employee, ask:
ü Has an adequate investigation been
completed relevant to the circumstances? ü Has adequate safety education and training
been provided? ü PPE provided? ü Have safety rules been properly explained? ü Has safety techniques been displayed by
supervisors?
DUE DILIGENCE
• What does that mean to the supervisor? – Manage safety like a business system that needs to be designed, developed, implemented and evaluated to provide effecJveness and value.
– Does not rely on a person’ memory that certain things need to get done; the “system that is in place” ensures that things get done.
