Study Notes

Domain 2 Management System

  • Domain 2 accounts for 13.34% of the overall CSP certification.

Management Theories

  • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Human motivation is driven by unsatisfied needs; lower-level needs must be met before higher-level needs motivate. Needs, in order: Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem, Self-Actualization.
  • McGregor's Theory X and Y: Theory X assumes employees are motivated primarily by money and security, whereas Theory Y assumes employees are motivated by their higher needs and potential.
  • Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory: Hygiene factors (e.g., salary, supervision) prevent dissatisfaction, while motivators (e.g., achievement, recognition) promote job satisfaction.

Accident Causation and Investigation Techniques

  • Domino Theory: Accidents are a sequence of factors, with each factor dependent on the preceding one.
  • 3 Es Controls: Engineering controls, education, and enforcement are used to control accidents.

Accident Causation Models

  • Human Factors Theory: Accidents stem primarily from human error.
  • Contingency Theory: There isn't one best way to organize a corporation/company, lead, or make decisions, as a number of factors need to be considered.
  • Systems Theory: Interdisciplinary theory that relates to diverse groups of objects working together to produce a desired result.
  • Chaos Theory: Study of dynamical systems which are highly sensitive to initial conditions.
  • Modern Causation Model: Covers numerous defects in areas including: Safety Management, Safety Program Defect, Operating Errors, Systems Defects.
  • Seven Avenues: Training, Education, Motivation, Task Design, Management, Safety Program Defect, and Command Error Defect.
  • Fault Tree Analysis: Boolean logic diagram showing all potential causes of an undesired event/accident.
  • Multilinear Events Sequencing (MES): Comprehensive body of concepts and procedures used to investigate, analyze a wide range of desired and undesired events/processes, before or after they occur.

Management Styles

  • Autocratic: Leader makes all decisions unilaterally.
  • Directive Democrat: Leader allows subordinates to participate but continues to closely supervise employees.
  • Directive Autocrat: Leader makes decisions unilaterally and closely supervises employees.
  • Permissive Democrat: Leader allows employees to make decisions, and gives latitude in carrying out their work.
  • Permissive Autocrat: Leader makes decisions unilaterally but gives latitude in carrying out their work.

Epidemiological Theory

  • Primarily focuses on industrial hygiene and the connection between environmental factors and diseases.

Behavior-Based Safety (BBS)

  • 7 Basic Principles: Identification of internal factors, motivate to behave in desired manner, positive consequences from appropriate behavior, scientific method application, integration, planning, and implemented interventions.

Measuring Health and Safety Performance

  • Measures are essential to gauge health and safety performance, as it's important to understand something before it can be managed effectively.
  • The basic understanding of measuring health and safety is that one cannot manage what they cannot measure, and it's vitally important in evaluating all factors that may contribute to success or failure.

Elements of Effective Accountability

  • Established Standards: Predefined rules, policies, and expectations ensuring processes are adhered to.
  • Resource System: Allocating resources needed for efficient operations and effective outcomes.
  • Measurement System: Methods and procedures for consistently evaluating performance against established standards.
  • Consequences: Defined actions and repercussions based on performance outcomes.
  • Application: Using the gathered information in a practical way to improve future situations.

Accident Investigation Techniques

  • Primary Purpose: Preventing future similar instances.
  • Information Sources: Witnesses, reports, observation, standard operating procedures.
  • Interview: Conducted immediately post-incident with the witness's consent.
  • Problem-Solving Techniques: The scientific method applied to systematically investigate causes.

Gross Hazard Analysis (GHA)

  • A "gross" analysis to help evaluate and understand the situation.

Management Oversight and Risk Tree (MORT)

  • A technique to plan a system for preventing errors from escalating into serious occurrences.

Fault Tree Analysis

  • Uses a graphic model to show potential causes of an undesired event.

Multilinear Events Sequencing (MES)

  • Method/process to analyze the sequence of events that contribute to or cause an accident/undesired event.

Measuring Health and Safety Performance

  • Assessing performance and developing, improving, and adjusting the systems for managing safety, as well as any associated hazards.

Safety Program Auditing

  • Techniques used to analyze the health and safety of the workplace and environment. This includes documents, interviews, and site reviews and audits.

Employee Involvement

  • Workers' participation and input in protecting workplace health and safety.
  • Use of Surveys, Job Hazard Analysis, Worksite Analysis, and Inspections to implement a thorough safety analysis.

Reports of Hazards

  • Effective reporting systems and protection of employee concerns when reporting concerns.
  • Importance of training to ensure that employees are aware of relevant procedures.
