Study Notes
Domain 2 Management System
- Domain 2 accounts for 13.34% of the overall CSP certification.
Management Theories
- Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs proposes that human motivation is driven by unsatisfied needs.
- Needs are hierarchical, with lower-level needs (physiological, safety, belonging) needing to be met before higher-level needs (esteem, self-actualization) can motivate.
- Once a lower-level need is satisfied, it no longer serves as a motivator.
McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y
- Theory X suggests that employees are primarily motivated by monetary rewards and security.
- Theory Y suggests that employees are primarily motivated by esteem and self-actualization needs.
Herzberg Motivational Theory
- Hygiene factors (salary, supervision, interpersonal relationships) are not motivators but can cause dissatisfaction if not present.
- Motivational factors (achievement, recognition, responsibility) are motivators.
The Deming Cycle
- A cyclical process of planning, doing, checking, and acting to improve quality and efficiency.
Management by Objectives
- A management process where objectives are agreed upon between management and employees.
- This alignment of objectives helps to ensure employees are working towards organizational success.
Contingency Theory
- There is no one-size-fits-all approach to management; different situations require different approaches.
Systems Theory
- An organizational system composed of interconnected parts that interact in complex ways.
Chaos Theory
- Systems with sensitive dependencies on initial conditions, where small changes can lead to large outcomes.
Management Styles
- Autocratic: Leader makes decisions unilaterally.
- Directive Democrat: Leader includes subordinates in decision-making but supervises closely.
- Permissive Democrat: Leader allows employees latitude in decision-making.
- Permissive Autocrat: Leader makes decisions unilaterally but gives employees latitude in carrying out work.
Accident Causation and Investigation Techniques
- Domino Theory: Accidents are a sequence of events, each depending on the previous event.
- 3 Es Controls: Engineering controls, education/training, and enforcement to prevent accidents or injuries.
- Human Factors Theory: Accidents arise entirely from human error.
Accident/Incident Theory
- Overload (pressure), Fatigue, Motivation, Alcohol, Drugs, Worry
- Ergonomic traps, incompatible workspace.
- Human error, system failure (responsibility, training).
Epidemiological Theory
- Focuses on the relationship between environmental factors and industrial hygiene related diseases.
Systems Theory
- Man (most valuable), Liveware (Humans), Machine (systems)
- Emphasizes interconnectedness and interdependence of components and their relation to accident conditions.
Energy Release Theory
- Accidents result from the release of energy.
- Reducing the initial amount of energy, controlling the release, and separating potential sources, prevent accidents and injuries.
Behavior Theory
- Focuses on behavior, and identifies internal factors that affect and influence motivation.
Modern Causation Model
- A model showing the causes of injuries/damage.
- Classifies causes into Operating Errors, Systems Defects, and Safety Program Defects.
Report of Investigation
- Includes cover page, title page, table of contents, executive summary, narrative body, conclusions, recommendations, and summary.
Measuring Health and Safety Performance
- Measuring health and safety performance is critical for improvement.
- You cannot manage what you cannot measure, hence the importance of measurement to track progress for improvement.
Elements of an Effective Accountability
- Established standards, Resources, Measurement system, Consequences, and Application.
- Importance of reflecting on outcomes, not just to track rates, but also to identify the root causes and possible reasons that create the conditions for events to occur.
What to Measure?
- Input (uncontrolled hazards), Process (management safeguards, culture), Output (controlled hazards), Outcome (results = injuries/illnesses)
- Capability, Compliance, and Deployment.
Who Should Measure?
- Tailored to individual organization, must measure for objective input and ensure the process is measurable without bias.
Leading and Lagging Indicators
- Leading indicators anticipate and predict issues, allowing proactive measures.
- Lagging indicators highlight issues that have already occurred, requiring reactive measures.
Employee Involvement
- Workers should participate in safety and health programs.
- Their experience and insight are invaluable for identifying and mitigating hazards.
Reports of Hazards
- Reporting hazards to supervisors or a safety committee for review and response.
Health and Safety Training
- Comprehensive training programs are needed to develop skills, and to support the health and safety culture.
