Three Types of At-Risk Behavior

• SafeStart is about helping people prevent the mistakes and errors we never wanted to make in the first place.

• It’s not about deliberate at-risk behavior.

• Deliberate At-Risk Behavior

• Habitual At-Risk Behavior

• Unintentional At-Risk Behavior

Something Unexpected

What Causes Most Accidents?


Three Sources of Unexpected

1. You do something unexpectedly that gets you hurt

2. Someone else does something unexpectedly that gets you hurt

3. The equipment, tools or machinery you're working with does something unexpectedly that gets you hurt

The SafeStart Concepts

• There are four common critical errors associated with unintentional at-risk behavior.

• When we make one or more of these errors unintentionally, we are also in one or more of four common states.


Headache

The SafeStart Card

• The front of the SafeStart card summarizes key SafeStart concepts.

• Think of this side as the “headache.”


The SafeStart Card

• The back of the SafeStart card summarizes key SafeStart techniques.

• You could think of this side as the “aspirin.”

Critical Error Reduction Techniques

1. Self trigger on the state (or amount of hazardous energy) so you don’t make a critical error.


Trigger on the State

• These four states are responsible for a high percentage of injuries.

• In most cases, you are in the state before you make the error.

• Which means you can use these states as triggers.

• Rushing

• Frustration

• Fatigue

• Complacency



3. Look at others for the patterns that increase the risk of injury.



4. Start to work on your habits.



2. Analyze close calls and small errors (to prevent agonizing over the big ones).

SafeStart for the Family

• There are four DVDs in the SafeStart Home DVD kit that you can use to introduce the SafeStart concepts and techniques to your family:

– Taking SafeStart Home[3-part DVD for the family]

– Hurt at Home[5-part DVD for parents and babysitters]

– SafeStart on the Road[DVD for teens and parents]

– Boo Boo Bandits[DVD for pre-school and elementary age children]



• There’s also an online course available for any member of your family who would like to take the full SafeStart course at home.



• To encourage your family to complete the SafeStart program, there’s even a contest where they can win cool prizes.[Safety isn’t everybody’s favorite subject.]


• That’s not surprising when you recall that the best way to reinforce what you’ve learned is to teach it to someone else.

Malcolm Knowles on Motivating Adults

Adults are motivated to learn when they:

• Immediately see the relevance of training to their own life experience

• Have some control over their own learning experience

• Have a vast store of knowledge and experience from which to draw and apply to the learning situation

• Take an active part in the learning process

SafeStart applies these principles so that the course becomes motivating to adults.


SafeStart in Your Overall Safety Management Program

• A quick jump in safety awareness & skills and safety performance

• Reduces off the job injuries as well as on the job injuries

• Improves production and quality initiatives

• Helps all other safety training initiatives

• Will pave the way for a smoothly performing Observation & Feedback or Audit Process for Safety

SafeStart Curriculum

• In addition to the importance of properly implementing the five SafeStart core units, it’s also important to follow the recommended curriculum.

• Following the curriculum will ensure that . . .

– SafeStart won’t become the “flavor of the month

– The injury reduction continues year after year
