Safe Workplace and Safety News

HR.BLR reported yesterday that Earl Blair from Indiana University and Barry Spurlock from the Midwestern Insurance Alliance spoke at a conference of more than 600 safety professionals from Indiana and several surrounding states. They talked about the "ten steps for developing and applying leading safety measures in the workplace, how to measure safety performance, and how to sell the leading measures to management."

The articled opened with this introduction: "Is your safety program proactive to create safety performance excellence, or is it reactive to simply hold the line on injuries and illnesses? Safety professionals who are trying to achieve excellence through leading measures of performance can take the next step to develop and apply such measures in a systematic way."

What are the ten steps?

• Step 1--Prioritize what is measured.


• Step 2--Determine the hierarchal level of the organization to measure.


• Step 3--Verify controls and identify obstacles to improvement.


• Step 4--Develop a simple list of measures for each activity.


• Step 5--Identify the means of employee engagement.


• Step 6--Develop safety measurement methods and tools.


• Step 7--Develop delivery strategies for measuring performance.


• Step 8--Set performance goals.


• Step 9--Monitor the progress of safety measures.


• Step 10--Adjust and modify safety measures over time.
