Study Notes
Safety Management Systems
- Managers and projects are not assumed to receive a pre-determined budget.
- A detailed justification is needed for any budget allocation.
- Budgeting should follow the decision to pursue a project.
- Budgets are financial plans specifying resources (cash/employee hours) for actions.
- Budgeting decisions should prioritize projects with the highest return on investment for the company.
- Some managers might request overly large budgets for personal gain (status, power, security, salary).
Domain 2: Safety Management Systems
- Risk Management Systems identify hazardous conditions, assess their risk, and establish risk control measures.
- MARR (Minimum Attractive Rate of Return) is the target rate used to evaluate project investments.
- Z10 Management System Standard is harmonized with ISO 9000 quality and ISO 14000 environmental systems.
- Hierarchy of Control: The first action in the hierarchy is to eliminate the hazard.
- Accident Precursor: Defines conditions or events that precede unsafe events and can predict their occurrence (leading indicators).
- Residual Risk: Risk remaining after preventive measures have been implemented.
- Span of Control: The number of subordinates a manager can supervise effectively.
Risk Assessment
- Risk is a combination of the frequency of adverse events and their probability of occurrence.
- Risk assessments evaluate identified hazards, their causal factors, and characterize the risk level.
- Processes for evaluating risk level include:
- Assuring commitment and direction from management.
- Selecting staff for the risk assessment team.
- Defining parameters for the risk assessment.
- Choosing an appropriate risk assessment technique.
- Identifying hazards.
- Considering failure modes.
- Assessing the severity of consequences.
- Determining the occurrence probability.
- Defining initial risk.
- Making risk acceptance/nonacceptance decisions with employee involvement.
- Implementing hazard avoidance, elimination, reduction, and control measures.
- Handling residual risk.
- Documenting the results.
- Monitoring the actions taken following assessment.
Safety Management System
- Safety is freedom from conditions causing injury, loss, illness, or environmental damage.
- Risk communication involves exchanging risk information among stakeholders.
- Risk management involves mitigating, minimizing, or controlling risks through design, management, or operations, and is linked to cost/schedule goals as well as safety.
- Unacceptable risks cannot be tolerated.
- Acceptable risk is a level that can be accepted if no further action is required or possible.
- Acceptable risk is often the same as the 'tolerable risk' level.
- Mitigation actions involve hazard modification through equipment, warnings, training, or actions to lower risk probability or severity.
- ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practical) is the level of risk that is as low as possible and still acceptable.
- Mishap is an event causing injury or loss.
Various Topics
- Employee motivation models don't include a department creating safety procedures.
- Employee coaching: proactive, fact-finding, and achievement-oriented.
- A common management and safety system is plan-do-check-act.
- Motivating someone is called 'motivation'.
- An OHSMS (occupational health and safety management systems) is not a part of a 'regulatory standard'.
- 'Span of Control' is the number of subordinates a manager can effectively oversee.
- Defining the 'hierarchy of controls' in safety.
- 'Span of Control', the number of subordinates a manager can effectively supervise.
