  2. PROaction versus REaction • “Well that’s an accident waiting to happen…” • “Someone ought to do something…” That someone is YOU!

  3. Accident Prevention

  5. What Is An Accident? "That Was Close" "Just Missed !" "Whhoooaaa!" # ! @ # *% ! Near Miss "Watch Out" Almost Hit L U C K Y

  6. An Accident is: • a. An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage or harm: car accidents on icy roads. • b. An unforeseen incident: A series of happy accidents led to his promotion. • c. An instance of involuntary urination or defecation in one's clothing. • 2. Lack of intention; chance: ran into an old friend by accident. • 3. Logic A circumstance or attribute that is not essential to the nature of something. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/accident

  7. Hazard • Existing or Potential Condition That Alone or Interacting With Other Factors Can Cause Harm • A Spill on the Floor • Broken Equipment

  8. Risk • A measure of the probability and severityof a hazard to harm human health, property, or the environment • A measure of how likely harm is to occur and an indication of how serious the harm might be Risk  0

  9. Safety FREEDOM FROM DANGER OR HARM Nothing is Free of BUT - We can almost always make something SAFER

  10. Safety Is Better Defined As…. A Judgement of the Acceptability of Risk

  19. Policy & Procedures Environmental Conditions Equipment/Plant Design Human Behavior Basic Causes Unsafe Conditions Indirect Causes Unsafe Acts Slip/Trip Fall Energy Release Pinched Between Direct Causes ACCIDENT Personal Injury Property Damage Potential/Actual

  20. Basic Causes • Management • Environment • Equipment • Human Behavior Systems &Procedures Natural & Man-made Design & Equipment

  21. Management • Systems & Procedures • Lack of systems & procedures • Availability • Lack of Supervision

  22. Environment • Physical • Lighting • Temperature • Chemical • vapors • smoke • Biological • Bacteria • Reptiles

  23. Environment

  24. Design and Equipment • Design • Workplace layout • Design of tools & equipment • Maintenance

  25. Design and Equipment • Equipment • Suitability • Stability • Guarding • Ergonomic • Accessibility

  26. Human Behavior Common to all accidents Not limited to person involved in accident

  27. Human Factors • Omissions & Commissions • Deviations from SOP • Lacking Authority • Short Cuts • Remove guards

  28. Human Behavior is a function of : Activators(what needs to be done) Competencies(how it needs to be done) Consequences (what happens if it is/isn’t done)

  29. ABC Model Antecedents (trigger behavior) Behavior (human performance) Consequences (either reinforce or punish behavior)

  30. Only 4 Types of Consequences: • Positive Reinforcement (R+) ("Do this & you'll be rewarded") • Negative Reinforcement (R-) ("Do this or else you'll be penalized") Behavior • Punishment (P) ("If you do this, you'll be penalized") • Extinction (E) ("Ignore it and it'll go away")

  31. Consequences Influence Behaviors Based UponIndividualPerceptions of: { positive or negative Magnitude • Significance Impact Timing - immediate or future Consistency - certain or uncertain

  32. Human Behavior • Behaviors that have consequences that are: • Soon • Certain • Positive Have a stronger effect on people’s behavior

  33. Some examples of Consequences:

  34. Why is one sign often ignored, the other one often followed?

  35. Human Behavior • Soon • A consequence that followssoonafter a behavior has a stronger influence than consequences that occur later • Silence is considered to be consent • Failure to correct unsafe behavior influences employees to continue the behavior

  36. Human Behavior • Certain • A consequence that iscertainto follow a behavior has more influence than an uncertain or unpredictable consequence • Corrective Action must be: • Prompt • Consistent • Persistent

  37. Human Behavior • Positive • Apositive consequence influences behavior more powerfully than a negative consequence • Penalties and Punishment don’t work • Speeding Ticket Analogy

  38. Human Behavior • Example:Smokers find it hard to stop smoking because the consequences are: A) Soon (immediate) B) Certain (they happen every time) C) Positive (a nicotine high) The other consequences are: A) Late(years later) B) Uncertain(not all smokers get lung cancer) C) Negative(lung cancer)

  39. Deviations from SOP • No Safe Procedure • Employee Didn’t know Safe Procedure • Employee knew, did not follow Safe Procedure • Procedure encouraged risk-taking • Employee changed approved procedure

  40. Human Behavior • Thought Question: What would you do as a worker if you had to take 10-15 minutes to don the correct P.P.E. to enter an area to turn off a control valve which took 10 seconds?

  41. Human Behavior • Punishment or threatening workers is a behavioral method used by some Safety Management programs • Punishment only works if: • It is immediate • Occurs every time there is an unsafe behavior • This is very hard to do

  42. Human Behavior • The soon, certain, positivereinforcement from unsafe behavior outweighs the uncertain, late, negative reinforcement from inconsistent punishment • People tend to respond more positively to praise and social approval than any other factors

  43. Human Behavior • Some experts believe you can change worker’s safety behavior by changing their “Attitude” • Accident Report – “Safety Attitude” • A person’s “Attitude” toward any subject is linked with a set of other attitudes - Trying to change them all would be nearly impossible • A Behavior change leads to a new “Attitude” because people reduce tension between Behavior and their “Attitude”

  44. Attitudes however Are inside a person’s head -therefore they are notobservable nor measurableAttitudes can be changed by changing behaviors

  45. Human Behavior • “Attention” Behavioral Safety approach • Focuses on getting workers to pay “Attention” • Inability to control “Attention” is a contributing factor in many injuries • You can’t scare workers into a safety focus with “Pay Attention” campaigns

  46. Reasons for Lack of Attention 1. Technology encourages short attention spans (TV remote, Computer Mouse) 2. Increased Job Stress caused by uncertainty (mergers & downsizing) 3. Lean staffing and increased workloads require quick attention shifts between tasks 4. Fast pace of work – little time to learn new tasks and do familiar ones safely

  47. Reasons for Lack of Attention 5. Work repetition can lull workers into a loss of attention 6. Low level of loyalty shown to employees by an ever reorganizing employer may lead to: a) Disinterested workers b) Detached workers (no connection to employer) c) Inattentive workers

  48. Human Behavior • Focusing on “Awareness” is a typical educational approach to change safety behavior • Example: You provide employees with a persuasive rationale for wearing safety glasses and hearing protection in certain work areas

  49. Human Behavior Developing Personal Safety Awareness • Before starting, consider how to do job safely • Understand required P.P.E. and how to use it • Determine correct tools and ensure they are in good condition • Scan work area – know what is going on • As you work, check work position – reduce any strain • Any unsafe act or condition should be corrected • Remain aware of any changes in your workplace – people coming, going, etc. • Talk to other workers about safety • Take safety home with you
