“A Universal
Model for Safety ‘X’–cellence”
‘WHAT’ excellence companies do different from the rest
In its purist form,
business is a process designed to produce specific outcomes ( the
Y-words), and when designed correctly, safetY is one of these. In
many organizations, however, despite significant investments in
safety programs, employee training, and regulatory compliance, there
continues to be a disparity between what is required by policy
(safe) and what actually occurs in practice (at-risk) behaviors.
This is due to the two safety processes all companies have – the
visible/written one in the manual (program); and the invisible, yet
most powerful and controlling unwritten one in the minds of the
people (culture). Excellence requires that we go beyond ‘safety as a
program’ and address the culture factors of the organization; the
‘Elements of Excellence’ that define what’s really important, and
determine if safe is a core expectation (and outcome) designed into
the business process.
“People, however different, when placed in the same system, tend
to produce similar results.” -Peter Senge
This presentation based
on best practices, and citations in the excellence literature,
identifies eight ‘Elements of Excellence’ common to a high
performance safety system, and sequentially aligns these into a
‘Universal Model for Safety Excellence’ that shapes culture and
drives behaviors (safe Vs unsafe) in an organization. These factors
are:
-
A VISION of 100%
Safe as requisite to success.
-
Safe as a shared core
VALUE of high performance.
-
VIP LEADERSHIP
(Visible-Involved-Participative) as key to safe follower
ship
-
Strong HUMAN
RELATIONSHIPS as fundamental to safe performance.
-
COMMUNICATIONS
systems to achieve organizational intelligence.
-
MEASUREMENTS that drive
safe performance.
-
INTEGRATION of safety
for collaborative efforts… and
-
CONSEQUENCE DELIVERY
practices that reward and reinforce safe behaviors.

“Every organization is uniquely designed to exactly produce
the results it achieves”
- Stephen Covey |
In composite, these
‘Elements of Excellence’ forge the beliefs, norms, and assumptions
of an organization, and shape the actions of its members, from the
executive suites to the shop floor. This session explores the forces
and targets of change, and the specific roles each ‘Element of
Excellence’ plays in forging ‘culture’ and influencing
organizational behavior (how business is done - safe Vs. unsafe) in
world-class organizations.
As a result of
attending this session, participants will:
-
Understand the three levels
and targets of organizational change, requisite for achieving high
performance safety results.
-
Recognize that safety
excellence is a function of ‘transformational’ change in an organization’s
culture (values), leadership (practices) and organization
(relationships)…not more of the ‘S.O.S.S’ programs.
-
Be able to identify eight ‘Elements
of Excellence’ which determine organizational behavior, and which hold the key
to safety excellence.
-
Be able to use the ‘Universal Model
of Safety Excellence’ to quantify, target, and lead ‘transformational’ safety
change in their organizations.
