Why have a safety committee?
Important safety program component
Means to bring workers and management together

Effective Safety Committee Tips
Committed to eliminating accidentsIdentifies problems/ Develops solutionsManagement supportEmployee supportOn-time and good attendanceAccountable to each other
Risk Engineering
Why safety committees fail
Lack of visible management support
Committee responsibilities unclear
Members unrepresentative of labor/ management
Irregular and/or unorganized meetings
Minutes not maintained or circulated
Committee size
Committee not involved in identifying and solving problems
Risk Engineering
Safety committee self-audit
Is management truly committed?
Will middle management & supervisors buy into the committee concept?
Does the committee have union’s support?
Will the committee be given meaningful tasks?
Will the actions of the safety committee be followed up on?
Are there opportunities for all employees to become involved in the safety effort?

Accident Investigation- Purpose
Risk Engineering
10ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION5/2011
What is an Accident Investigation?
An accident investigation is a systematic approach to gathering and analyzing the accident data in order to identify the causes so corrective actions can be taken.
Risk Engineering
11ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION5/2011
Effective Accident Investigation Process
Get the factsDetermine future potentialFind the direct causes – unsafe acts and conditionsAccident investigation should be aimed at fact-finding rather than fault-findingFind the root causes- ask Why?
Risk Engineering
12ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION5/2011
How to find causes
Look at how the job is intended to be performedCompare it to how the job was actually performed based on the facts that you obtained during the investigation
Risk Engineering
13ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION5/2011
Ask Open-Ended Questions
First find out who, when and where and then ask: what happened? what were you doing? what do you think caused the accident? what equipment and/or other factors contributed to the accident? how can this accident be avoided in the future?
Risk Engineering
14ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION5/2011
Analyzing The Facts & Drawing Conclusions
How did it happen?Why did it happen?Can it reasonably happen again?What are the potential consequences?What, if anything, should be done to prevent it from happening again?

Hazard Detection- Plan what to look for, don’t overlook the obvious.
Risk Engineering
Purpose of the self-inspection
To identify hazardous conditions and unsafe acts before they result in an accident
Assist in the efficient and profitable operation of the company
Prevent injuries and save human resources.
Risk Engineering
What is a self-inspection
A self-inspection is a systematic method of evaluating the work environment and the interactions of the employees in this environment.
Risk Engineering
Why conduct a self-inspection?
To have a systematic approach To identify hazardsTo identify unsafe actsTo fix accountabilityTo increase the efficiency/reduce operating costsTo monitor progressAssist in complying with OSHA
Risk Engineering
Who should conduct the self-inspection?
1. Manager/supervisor2. Any responsible employee
Note: The manager has ultimate responsibility to insure the self-inspection is completed properly.
Risk Engineering
Self-inspection process
Form
Observations- what to look at
Gather data - complete form
Analyze the information
Trend analysis
Corrective actions
Risk Engineering
Developing a self-inspection form
Appoint a coordinator and task force to develop and maintain the self-inspection form.
Compile a list of all the components of the building/equipment and identify the potential hazard associated with each.
Develop a standardized inspection procedure (checklist) for each
item identified.
Establish guidelines for frequency of inspection and personnel responsible for performing the inspections.
Establish reporting procedures for communicating deficiencies and methods for controlling or minimizing the hazard until permanent solutions can be implemented.
Risk Engineering
Self-inspection: what to evaluate:
The entire facility/operation should be evaluated along with the employees’ interaction.
Unsafe work practicesUnsafe conditions
Risk Engineering
What to evaluate cont.
Unsafe work practices:
1. Drug/alcohol use2. Improper operation of equipment3. Lack of use of PPE4. Horseplay5. Ignoring safety rules6. Sloppy workmanship
