Accident An unexpected happening that may result in injury, loss, or damage. 3. Hazard A condition or set of circumstances that have the potential to cause an incident, injury, illness, or other loss 4. Direct Costs the costs that direct cost an employer money, such as medical costs and payment for time away 5. Indirect Costs Hidden costs, such as time lost by other employees to help a coworker, time spent by safety staff, losses due to unfilled orders or lost productions 6. ANSI Z10 A voluntary consensus standard on occupational health and safety management systems. It uses recognized management system principles in order to be compatible with quality and environmental management system stan- dards such as the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 series. The purpose of ANSI Z10 provide a standard method for designing and implementing a safety mgmt system. 7.

Reactive approach to accident prevention has four basic steps: 1. the accident occurs 2. an investigation takes place 3. results from the investigation are analyzed. 4. preventative measures are put into place to prevent the accident from happening again. 128. Proactive approach to accident prevention tries to keep accidents from occurring in the first place. This approach has has two steps: 1. analyze potential accidents 2. put preventative measures into place to prevent the accidents from occurring. 129. Frequency Strat- focuses on reducing the accidents that occur most fre- egy quently. 130. Severity Strategy focuses on reducing the accidents that cause the most serious injuries or most damage. 131. Cost Strategy focuses on reducing the accidents that are the most ex- pensive. 132. Multiple Factor postulates that accidents are generally caused many fac- Theory tors working together. 133.

Example: providing machine guarding to protect from pinch points, barriers to prevent entry into confined space, installation of ventilation hoods that remove contaminated air from the workplace. 139. Work practice administrative in nature and seek to control risk by poli- controls cies and procedures rather than physical barriers. Examples: implementing a policy that lifting of objects more than 50 lbs. requires 2-people or instructing an employee operating a grinder to always wear a face shield during the grinding. 15 / 25 Domain 2 Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_9f7uz4 140.

Comprehensive A case manager may be assigned to determine the appro- case priate course of action for an insured. The case manager management may require a referral or a second opinion before approv- ing a procedure. The case manager will also manage the utilization review of a subscriber's stay in the hospital or may provide assistance with a future course of action during recovery of the insured. 143. Worker Compen- 1. to replace the income worker misses by being unable sation Laws to work and to provide prompt medical treatment. 2. to save workers and employers the time, trouble, and expense of litigation. 3. to keep injured workers from turning to public and private charities. 4. to encourage employers to develop procedures that prevent and reduce accidents. 5. to provide workers with rehabilitation so that they can return to work more quickly. 6. to encourage accident investigations not in order to find fault but to prevent similar events from occurring again. 144.

Product liability the legal liability manufacturers and sellers face because injury or damage resulting from the use of their product. 170. Reason action- -the product is dangerous or defective able injury or -the product does not live up to the claims of the manu- damage could facturer or seller occur -the manufacturer or seller was negligent 171. Losses usually classified as direct or indirect 172. Direct Cost are related directly to an accident and may include the following: -cost to replace damaged property, equipment, or mate- rials -cost to repair damage to the environment -fines for any broken laws and regulations -compensation for injured or ill employees who miss work. -payment of medical expenses for injured or ill employees -payments made to survivors in case of the death of an employee -costs related to the cleanup or investigation of an acci- dent, including travel and legal services. 173. Task Analysis refers to a detailed method of defining the varied elements that make up an undertaking and provide a way to docu- ment resources that will be necessary in its achievement. 174. Common metrics -Budget: is the project at, under, or over budget? used to assess -Time: Has the project or phase been completed on time? performance If not, how many days overdue is it? -Quality: Has the work met or exceeded quality stan- dards? For ex., has the project passed inspection? -Conflict: Has the project phase created conflict among the team members? -Safety: Has the project phase been completed without safety incidents? 175.

OSHAS 18000 sets the framework for an effective system to control health and safety risk to workers. The purpose of a management system is to take sys- tematic approach to the way an organization manages its health and safety function with the goal of proactively identifying and responding to risk before an accident or an incident occurs. 202. Basic element of 1) Policy: the company sets its policy with regard to ohs, OSHAS 18000 committing to compliance, communication, and continu- ous improvement. 2) Risk Assessments: the company formally examines its operations and the health and safety risk posed by its operations. 3) Legal Obligations: the company identifies the legal requirements that apply to its operations and puts into place a mechanism for monitoring changes to these re- quirements. 4) Training: the company enacts relevant training pro- grams to educate workers about ohs, safety, risks, and how to protect themselves. 5)Objectives and Targets: the company sets formal health and safety objectives with measurable targets. 6)Communication: Management solicits input from all lev- els of the organization on health and safety matters, and communicate risks. 7)Document Control: Documents associated with the oc- cupational health and safety management system are controlled. 8) Corrective and Preventative Actions: A formal process to document corrective actions and perform root cause analyses is instituted. 9) Internal Audits: the company internally audits its pro- grams to ensure conformance and as continual improve- 24 / 25 Domain 2 Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_9f7uz4 ment tool 10) Management Review: Top management accepts re- sponsibility for the program and reviews progress toward achieving objectives. 203.

The aim of loss control is to reduce the frequency and severity of losses. Loss control is directly related to human resource management, engineering and risk man- agement practices. 2. Multiple Manage- ment Systems 3. High Level Struc- ture 4. Integrated Man- agement Sys- tems 5. Risk The combination of the severity of a defined exposure with its frequency of occurrence. The technique that effectively decreases a project's schedule risk without decreasing the overall risk is to incorporate slack time into the projects critical path schedule early in project planning. 6. Hazard Any real or potential condition that can cause injury, ill- ness, or death to personnel; damage or loss of a system, equipment, or property; or damage to the environment. It is any potentially unsafe condition resulting from failures, malfunctions, external events, errors, or a combination thereof. It is any condition, set of circumstances, or in- herent property damage that can cause injury, illness or death. 7. Probability The likelyhood of a hazard causing an incident or expo- sure that could result in harm or damage for a selected unit of to,e, events, population, items or activities being considered. 8. Severity 1 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens The extent of harm or damage that could result from a hazard-related incident or exposure. 9. Risk Analysis Is the process of identifying safety risks. This involves identifying hazards that present mishap risk with an as- sessment of the risk probability. 10. Risk Assessment The process of determining the risk presented by the identified hazards. This involves evaluating the identified hazard's causal factors and then characterizing the risk as the product of the hazard severity times the hazard probability. Processes used to evaluate the level of risk associated with hazards and system include: - Assure management commitment, involvement and di- rection (an absolute). - Select a risk assessment team, including employees with knowledge of jobs and tasks. - Establish the analysis parameters. - Select a risk assessment technique. - Identify the hazards. - Consider Failure Modes. - Assess the severity of consequences. - Determine the occurrence probability, prominently taking into consideration the exposures. - Define the initial risk. - Make risk acceptance or nonacceptance decisions with employee involvement. - If needed, select and implement hazard avoidance, elim- ination, reduction and control measures. - Address residual risk. - Document the results. - Follow up on actions taken. 11. Safety Freedom from conditions that can cause death, injury, occupational illness, damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. It is the ability of a system to exclude certain undesired events (i.e., 2 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens mishaps) during stated operation under stated conditions for a stated time and the ability of a system or product to operate with a known and accepted level of mishap risk. It is a built in system characteristic. 12. Exposure Contact with or proximity to a hazard, taking into account duration and intensity. 13. Root Cause The process of identifying the basic lowest level causal Analysis (RCA) factors for an event. Usually the event is an undesired event, such as a hazard or mishap. 14. Risk Communi- Is the interactive process for exchanging risk information cation and opinions among stakeholders. 15. Risk Manage- Is the process by which assessed risks are mitigated, min- ment imized or controlled through engineering, management or operational means. This involves the optimal allocation of available resources in support of safety, performance, cost and schedule. 16. Unacceptable Risk that cannot be tolerated. risk 17. Acceptable Risk The part of identified mishap risk that is allowed to persist without taking further engineering or management action to eliminate or reduce the risk, based on knowledge and decision-making. The system user is consciously exposed to this risk. It is a risk level achieved after risk reduction measures have been applied and that is accepted for a giv- en task (hazardous situation) or hazard. For the purpose of this standard, the terms "acceptable risk" and "tolerable risk" are considered synonymous. 18. Accepted risk Accepted risk has two parts: (1) risk that is knowingly understood and accepted by the system developer or user and (2) risk that is not known or understood and is accepted by default. 19. Residual Risk 3 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens Overall risk remaining after system safety mitigation ef- forts have been fully implemented. 20. Mitigation Is an action taken to reduce the risk presented by a hazard, by modifying the hazard in order to decrease the mishap probability and/or the mishap severity. Mitigation is generally accomplished through design measures, use of safety devices, training or procedures. It is also referred to as hazard mitigation and risk mitigation. 21. As low as rea- The level of mishap risk that has been established and is sonably practical considered as low as reasonably possible and still accept- (ALARP) able. It is based on a set of predefined ALARP conditions and is considered acceptable. 22. Mishap Is an unplanned event or series of events resulting in death, injury, occupational illness, damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. 23.

OSHA verifies qualifications through a compre- hensive onsite review process. Using one set of flexible, performance-based criteria, the VPP process emphasizes management accountability for worker safety and health; continued identification and elimination of hazards; and active involvement of employees in their own protection. 29. Hierarchy of con- The hierarchy of controls provides a systematic way of trols thinking, considering steps in a ranked and sequential order, to chose the most effective means of eliminating or reducing hazards and their associated risks. The top three levels in the hierarchy are more effective because they: are preventative actions that eliminate/ reduce risk by design, substitution and engineering measures. Rely the least on the performance of personnel, - are less defeatable by su- pervisors or workers.Consists of Elimination, Substitution, Engineering Controls, Warnings, Administrative Controls and Personal Protective Equipment. 30. 5 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens Leading Indica- Proactive activities that identify hazards and assess, elim- tors inate, minimize and control risk. A leading indicator can help predict safety performance. 31.

Lagging Indica- While lagging indicators can alert you to a failure in an tors area of your safety and health program or to the existence of a hazard, leading indicators allow you to take preventive action to address that failure or hazard before it turns into an incident. A good program uses leading indicators to drive change and lagging indicators to measure effective- ness. 33. Examples of Lag- -Number and severity of injuries and illnesses ging Indicators -Results of worker exposure monitoring that show that exposures are hazardous -Workers' compensation data, including claim counts, rates, and cost 34.

Residual Risk The risk remaining after preventive measures have been taken. No matter how effective the preventative actions, residual risk will always be present if a facility or operation continues to exist. 38. Risk Tolerance Is an organization's readiness to bear the risk after risk treatment in order to achieve its objectives. 39. Risk acceptance Is an informed decision to take a particular risk. 40. Acceptable Risk Is a residual risk level achieved after risk reduction mea- sures have been applied. It is a risk level that is accepted for a given task (hazardous situation) or hazard. 41. Employee A behavior-based approach treats safety as an achieve- Coaching ment-oriented process, not outcome based. It also uses face finding versus fault-finding and is proactive, not reac- tive. The primary attributes to BBS Employee Coaching are: -Achievement oriented -Proactive -Fact finding process 42. Plan, Do, Check, The Deming Cycle or PDCA cycle is a continuous im- Act (PDCA) provement quality model that consists of four repetitive 7 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens A.K.A The Dem- steps conducted in a logical sequence. The four steps ing Cycle include Plan, Do, Check, Act. Deming proposed that if these four steps are continuously followed, quality will improve. Both quality and HSE management systems are built on the well-known Plan-Do-Check-Act process. Briefly stat- ed, the purpose of standards is to provide organizations with an effective tool for continuous improvement in their occupational health and safety management systems to reduce risk of occupational injuries, illnesses and fatali- ties. 43. Cost/benefit Is a generic process of evaluating competing courses of analysis action by examining the dollar costs of certain abatement actions versus the dollar value of the benefits received. Cost/benefit analysis allows management to understand and prioritize action to reduce risk of identified financial loss scenarios. 44. Pareto Principle The Pareto principle states that, for many events, roughly and Chart 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. The Pareto chart answers the following questions: - What are the largest issues facing our team or business? - What 20% of sources are causing 80% of the problems (80/20 ruler)? - Where efforts should be focused to achieve the greatest improvements? 45. Audit (ISO 19011) Systematic, independent and documented process for obtaining audit evidence and evaluating it objectively to determine the extent to which the audit criteria are fulfilled. (ISO 19011:2011 3.1). 8 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens 46. Internal Audit Are conducted by the organization itself, or on its behalf, for management review and other internal purposes (e.g. to confirm the effectiveness of the management system or to obtain information for the improvement of the man- agement system). Internal audits can form the basis for an organization's self declaration of conformity. 47. External Audit Second and third party audits. Second party audits are conducted by parties having an interest in the organi- zation, such as customers, or by other persons on their behalf. Third-party audits are conducted by independent auditing organizations, such as regulators or those provid- ing certification (registrars). 48. ISO registrar An accredited registrar, also called an accredited certifi- cation body (CB), is an organization accredited by a rec- ognized accrediting body for its competence to audit and issue certification confirming that an organization meets the requirements of a standard (e.g. ISO 9001 or ISO 14001). 49. Combined Audit Two or management systems of different disciplines (e.g., quality, environmental, occupational health and safety) are audited together. 50. Joint Audit Two or more auditing organizations cooperate to audit a single auditee. 51. 3 basic steps of Identify critical behaviors: Employers write, in observable BBS Process terms, what employees should do to properly perform their jobs. The safety and health professional can list a few critical behaviors or a complete inventory, depending in the scope and results desired. -Conduct Measurement Through Observations: trained observers watch the work- place to determine if listed behaviors are performed safely or unsafely. The total number of observed behaviors is divided into the number of safe behaviors to obtain a percentage figure for safe behaviors. - Give performance feedback: The percentage figure for safe behaviors is 9 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens shown on a graph displayed in the workplace. At regular intervals, behaviors are again observed and new safe behavior figures are added to the graph. Studies show this critical feedback will improve safety behaviors. Praise and recognition from managers or peer pressure can be effective ways to encourage and reinforce safe behaviors. 52.

Audit Scope: should be consistent with the au- dit program and audit objectives. It includes such factors as physical locations, organizational units, and activities and processes to be audited, as well as the time period covered by the audit. Audit Criteria- used as a reference against which conformity is determined and may include applicable policies, procedures, standards, legal require- ments, management system requirements, contractual requirements, sector code of conduct or other planned arrangements. 53. Audit Guide Guides, appointed by the auditee, should assist the audit team and act in the request of the audit team leader. Their responsibilities should include the following: - Assisting the auditors in identifying individuals to partic- ipate in interviews and confirming timings. - Arranging access to specific locations of the auditee. - Ensuring that rules concerning location safety and se- curity procedures are known and respected by the audit 10 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens team members and observers. The role of the guide may also include the following: -Witnessing the audit on the behalf of the auditee - Providing clarification or assisting in collecting informa- tion. 54. Audit Evidence 55. 6 Principles of an 1. Integrity: the foundation of professionalism. Auditor - Perform work with honesty, diligence, and responsibility. -Observe and comply with legal requirements. -Demonstrate their competence while performing their work. -Perform their work in an impartial manner, i.e., remain fair and unbiased in all their dealings. - Be sensitive to any influences that may be exerted on their judgment while carrying out an audit. 2. Fair presentation: The obligation to report truthfully and accurately. 3. Due professional care: The application of diligence and judgement in auditing. 4. Confidentiality: security of information. Auditors should exercise discretion in the use and protection of information acquired in the course of their duties. 5. Independence: The basis for the impartiality of the audit and objectivity of the audit conclusions. Auditors should be independent of the activity being audited wherever practicable, and should in all cases act in a manner that is free from bias and conflict of interest. 6. Evidence Based Approach: The rational method for reaching reliable and reproducible audit conclusions in a 11 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens systematic audit process. Audit evidence should be verifi- able. 56. Fault Tree Analy- Analysis that uses deductive analysis involving reasoning sis from the general to the specific. Most other safety analysis use inductive reasoning and progress from a specific item to the general overall failure. Allows the analyst to deter- mine the combinations of failures that are necessary to achieve an event defined as the top or undesired event, FTA is well suited for the analysis of highly redundant systems, The fault tree is a graphic model that displays the various combinations of equipment/component fail- ures and human errors that can give rise to the top event. The FTA provides a means to qualitatively or quantitatively identify the frequency of the top event. FTA uses Boolean logic (the use of AND / OR gate logic) to relate the top event to a combination of basic events that must occur in order for the top event to happen. The fault tree, once constructed, can be quantified by using the failure rate data for the basic events (i.e., those events at the bottom of the tree). A quantified fault tree projects the rate of occurrence for the top event. 57.

Fail Safe Designs Ensure that a failure will leave the product unaffected or will convert it to a state in which no injury or damage will occur. The process fails safely. Types of fail safe: 12 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens Fail-passive: arrangements reduce the system to its lowest energy level. Fail -active design maintains tan energized condition that keeps the system in a safe mode until corrective or over- riding action occurs or an alternate system is activated. Fail -operational arrangements allow functions to continue safely until corrective action is possible. Example of a fail-active device would be a battery operat- ed smoke detector that chirps when it is time to replace the battery. 59. Incident Direct Medical and Compensation: Costs 60. Incident Indirect The indirect or hidden costs are time lost from work by Costs the injured, loss in earning power, economic loss to the injured family, time lost by fellow workers, loss of efficiency due t break-up of crew, lost time by supervision, cost of breaking in a new worker, damage to tools and equipment, time damaged equipment is out of service, spoiled work, loss of production, spoilage, failure to fill orders, overhead costs, and miscellaneous. Lost production time. Productive time lost by an injured employee. Productive time lost by employees and supervisors help- ing the accident victim. Cleanup and startup of operations interrupted by an acci- dent. Time to hire or train a worker to replace the injured worker until they return to work. Property damage. Time and cost for repair or replacement of damaged equipment, materials or other property. Cost of continuing all or part of the employee's wages, plus compensation. Reduced morale among your employees, and perhaps lower efficiency. Cost of completing paperwork generated by the accident. OSHA penalties. 13 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens 61. Maslow's Hierar- 1943.

Hygiene factors affect the level of dissatisfaction but are rarely noted as creators of job satisfaction. However, if these factors are not present or satisfied they can demo- tivate a person. Hygiene factors include the following: -Supervision -Interpersonal relationships - Physical working conditions. 15 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens - Salary Motivation factors include the following: -Achievement -Advancement -Recognition -Responsibility Whenever there is a shortage of motivational factors in the work environment, the employee will focus on other factors, such as hygiene factors. 67. Management by Is the process of agreeing upon objectives within an or- objectives (MBO) ganization so that management and employees agree to the objectives and understand what they are in the organization. Main focus: set established goals for the organization by allowing both management and employees to participate in the process. Some of the important features and advantages of MBO are as follows: - Motivation- It involves employees in the whole process of goal setting and increases empowerment and employee job satisfaction and commitment. - Improved communication and coordination: In the MBO process, there are frequent evaluations of the objectives and goals. This evaluation process, which is conducted by both management and employees, assists in main- taining harmonious relationships. When goals are lacking, both employees and management participate in the prob- lem-solving process. - Clarity of goals 16 / 23 Domain 2: Safety Management Systems Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8ihens Is a process of joint objective setting between a superior and subordinate. It is also known as management by results. The managers meet the following performance objectives: - Target a key result to be accomplished. - Identify a date for achieving results - Offer a realistic (measurable) and attainable challenge. - Be as specific and quantitative as possible. 68.
