    Study Notes

    Domain 2 Management System

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

    Management Theories

    • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs postulates that human motivation is driven by unsatisfied needs, with lower-level needs needing fulfillment before higher-level needs become motivators.
    • Physiological needs (breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion) are at the base of the hierarchy.
    • Safety needs (security of body, employment, resources, morality, the family, health, property) follow.
    • Love and belonging needs (friendship, family, sexual intimacy) come next.
    • Esteem needs (self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others, respect by others) are above that.
    • Self-actualization needs (morality, creativity, spontaneity, problem-solving, lack of prejudice, acceptance of facts) are at the top.

    McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y

    • Theory X assumes employees are inherently lazy, unmotivated, and resist change, requiring external motivation (primarily monetary).
    • Theory Y assumes employees are intrinsically motivated, capable of self-direction, and desire responsibility and creativity.

    Herzberg Motivational Theory

    • Identifies hygiene factors (supervision, interpersonal relationships, salary, physical working conditions) that, when absent, can cause dissatisfaction but don't motivate.
    • Identifies motivational factors (achievement, advancement, recognition, responsibility) that lead to job satisfaction and motivation.

    The Deming Cycle

    • A cyclical process for continuous improvement.
    • Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA)

    Management by Objectives (MBO)

    • Management and employees agree upon organizational objectives, increasing employee involvement in organizational success.

    Contingency Theory

    • Suggests that there's no single best way to manage or organize; various approaches may be needed depending on the circumstances.

    Systems Theory

    • Examines a system's interconnected parts working together to achieve a specific result.

    Chaos Theory

    • Explores dynamical systems with sensitivity to initial conditions, meaning small changes can have significant effects.

    Management Styles

    • Different leadership styles exist, including autocratic, democratic, directive, and permissive.

    Accident Causation and Investigation Techniques

    • Domino Theory (Heinrich, 1932): An accident is the result of a sequence of factors, each influencing the next.
    • 3 Es Controls (Engineering, Education, Enforcement) are used for accident prevention.
    • Accident causation is examined to understand the root causes of accidents.
    • The investigation identifies contributing factors and develops recommendations for preventing future occurrences.

    Accident/Incident Theory (Petersen)

    • Identifies overload/pressure, fatigue, poor motivation, alcohol intake, worry as contributing to accidents

    Epidemiological Theory

    • Examines the relationship between environmental factors and disease.

    Energy Release Theory (Haddon)

    • Techniques to reduce accidents by reducing energy build-up or preventing its release.

    Behavior Theory (BBS)

    • Seven basic principles: Identification of internal factors, motivation to behave appropriately, application of the scientific method, and planned interventions.

    Modern Causation Model

    • Breakdown of contributing factors leading to injuries.
    • Operating errors (poor/unsafe position, faulty housekeeping, lack of guardrails etc), systems defects (lack/failure of training, unclear procedures), and safety program defects.

    Accident Investigation Techniques

    • The scientific method is used to investigate causes of accidents.
    • Problem-solving techniques like using principles of agreement, differences, and concomitant variation for effective accident investigation.

    Report of Investigation

    • Structure for reports of accidents, executive summary, table of contents, narrative, conclusions, and recommendations.

    Measuring Health and Safety Performance

    • Critical for any health and safety program.
    • Drucker statement: "You cannot manage what you cannot measure."

    Elements of an Effective Accountability

    • Establish standards, resource, measurement system, consequences from applying the measurement system, and application of resources. Relevant to the development of effective health and safety programs

    Elements of an Effective Health and Safety Program

    • Benefits and characteristics, major elements, and the management by walking around (MBWA) approach.

    Employee Involvement

    • Importance of employee participation involves surveying, worksite analysis, and reporting of hazards.

    Reports of Hazards and Health & Safety Training

    • Reporting hazards is crucial and reporting systems need to be effective and accessible to employees.
    • Comprehensive training programs for all employees ensures everyone is aware of safety procedures.

    Documentation

    • Essential for reviewing the implementation of action plans to correct hazards. Crucial for ensuring consistency and understanding.

    Engineering Economics

    • Topics of simple and compounded interest, future value of money, series compound amount factor, sinking fund factor, capital recovery factor, return on investment or ROI
