The Challenge
Organizations continue to struggle with serious injury and fatality events due to the following challenges:
- Processes and procedures do not have integrated safety guidance
- Work practices do not match the standards
- Some workers have never seen proper safe work behaviors
- Standards are disconnected from operations – corporate safety jargon
- Workers are expected to interpret regulatory (OSHA) standards and how to apply them to their work in the field
- Some have “pencil whipped” safety audit and hazard analysis activities
