Safe Business Management

The management of safe business operations requires a continuous and systematic effort to identify and fix workplace hazards, before workers are injured. It’s usually referred to as a Safety and Health Management System (SHMS). An SHMS requires leadership support and employee participation (including the acting participation of any unions if there is one in your company); hazard identification assessment, prevention, and control opportunities for education and training and regular evaluation of the program and improvement.

The conventional approach is to blame accidents on workers. Herbert W. Heinrich’s 1930s theory that 85-95% of accidents are caused by unsafe actions of individuals, led to a wide range of behavior-based safety (BBS). In recent years, proponents of quality have adopted a more proactive approach to safety, recognizing that accidents result from processes and systems. They use quality tools to minimize their risk.

Managers need to understand that safety is an important element of their work. This can be done through direct remarks and reviews of performance and bonuses. LyondellBasell for instance, is clear to its employees that, regardless of how low their OSHA recordable injuries are, if there’s a serious accident on site the manager will not be awarded any kind of bonus.

SAFe can be configured and scalable. This allows every company to modify the Framework to fit their own development environment.
