Have you ever found yourself annoyed by something not working as it should?


People vs. Process

“80% of problems are caused NOT by bad PEOPLE, but by bad PROCESS.” - Deming, father of quality movement

If you pit a great PERFORMER against a lousy PROCESS, the process will win every time.

Module Preview Embedding Safety into Work Processes

• Types and Causes of Hazards• Job Safety Analysis• Work Instructions• Assignments

PREVIEW


Two Types of HazardsHealth Hazards

• Chemicals: Solvents, gases, etc.

• Physical: Noise, vibration, heat/cold, radiation

• Biological: Bacteria, fungi, insects

• Ergonomic: Workplace design, repetitive motion

Safety Hazards

• Machine: Moving parts, belts, blades

• Energy: Pneumatics, hydraulics, steam, kinetic, electricity

• Material handling: hand carts, conveyors

• Work Practices


Causes of Hazards

• Materials – Wrong types or improper handling

• Equipment – Tools & machines used

• Process – Combination of above: flow of work, design, organization

• Environment – Conditions of surfaces, ventilation, lighting, temperature, noise, housekeeping

• Energy – In various forms may harm if not controlled

• People – Actions people take (or do not take)

Job Safety Analysis

PURPOSE: To identify potential hazards within a process and take proactive steps to eliminate them or minimize the risk.

WHO: Need people who know the work/task to participate in this process (and know HOW to do this)

STEPS: 1.List basic job steps

2.Identify potential hazards

3.Resolve hazardsJob Safety Analysis Form

Job Safety Analysis Exercise

Purpose: To practice conducting a Process Safety Analysis.

• Step 1: List Sequence of Basic Job Steps (Column 1)(If possible, view a videotape of the process as you do this)

• Step 2: Identify Potential Hazards (Column 2)

• Step 3: Recommend Safe Job Procedures (Column 3)

Exercise


Job Safety Analysis – Step 1:

List Sequence of Basic Job Steps (Column 1)

• List step-by-step what must be done• Choose level of detail that is fairly specific• May help to list steps on post-it-notes or sheets of

paper that can be moved around on the wall

Exercise


Job Safety Analysis – Step 2: Identify Potential Hazards (Column 2)

• Remember Hazards can be of two types:– Health hazards (ergonomic concerns, noise, chemicals, bacteria)

– Safety hazards (moving parts, energy, material handling)

• And may be caused by:– Materials

– Equipment

– Process

– Environment

– Energy

– People

Exercise

Job Safety Analysis – Step 3: Recommend Safe Job Procedures (Column 3)

Ways to Increase Job Safety:• Eliminate the hazards• Control exposure• Avoid general warnings to “be careful” which do

little good• If you find too many hazards, question the entire

task. Should it really be done?

More Visual Instructions


South Dakota Highway Sign

• SD Drivers are reminded of highway fatalities at many points along their route – one sign for each death.

• Each Sign Reads: “X Marks the Spot. THINK! Drive Safely”

• On the back it says: “Why Die?”

• Would we be more careful if we were reminded daily at work of injuries that had occurred?


Important Questions

???• What is your responsibility for work instructions? • Whose responsibility is it to know and follow the

documented work instructions? • Whose responsibility is it to make sure that

everyone is following safe work procedures?


Module Review

• Hazards come in many shapes and sizes –– Health hazards and Safety hazards– Six broad causes: M E P E E P

• Job Safety Analysis is a disciplined approach to identifying and minimizing hazards

• Work instructions can be formal (procedure manuals) or informal (job aids and placards)

• Everyone is responsible to identify and control workplace hazards

REVIEW


Assignments

• Perform a Job Safety Analysis – Each area should schedule time to perform a JSA of an important task they perform

• Improve or create a new work instruction. Be sure that any work instructions associated with jobs that have been analyzed (in #1) are revised to reflect the safety improvements


Thank You for Participating

Just a little bit of prevention . . .

. . . can prevent a whole lot of pain!

Let’s be sure that we BUILD SAFETY into our work processes.
