Occupational Safety and Health culture assessment - A review of main approaches and selected tools

Occupational safety and health culture, or more briefly 'OSH culture', can be seen as a concept for exploring how informal organisational aspects influence OSH in a positive or negative way. The aim is to convey up-to-date information on this complex topic in a straightforward, condensed way, trying to build a bridge between research and practice. The main approaches and methods that exist to assess the safety culture in an organisation are presented and discussed. This review gives an overview and selection of useful tools and techniques from the EU domain and abroad. Read more at osha.europa.eu

A State Safety Culture!!

Mandating a safety culture? Will it really work?

Amplify’d from erd.dli.mt.gov

The Montana Safety Culture Act

The Safety Culture Act enacted by the 1993 Montana State Legislature encourages workers and employers to come together to create and implement a workplace safety philosophy. It is the intent of the act to raise workplace safety to a preeminent position in the minds of all Montana's workers and employers. Therefore, it is the responsibility and duty of employers to participate in the development and implementation of safety programs that will meet the specific needs of their workplace; thereby establishing a safety culture that will help create a safe work environment for all future generations of Montanans. Listed within the links to the right are the six requirements all employers must meet, and the additional three requirements employers with more than five employees must meet, to comply with the Montana Safety Culture Act (MSCA) The requirements are numbered and in bold print. Following the requirements are recommendations from the Department of Labor and Industry offered as guidelines for implementation of the MSCA. Recognizing the diversity of Montana's economy, the MSCA intends to allow some flexibility of interpretation and application so you and your workers' compensation insurer can establish a safety program appropriate to your business and employees' needs and circumstances. You are encouraged to contact your insurer for assistance in establishing your safety program. Read more at erd.dli.mt.gov

U.S. ‘wildcat culture’ risks Macondo oil spill repeat, official says

The U.S. risks a repeat of the 2010 Macondo oil spill as its “wildcat culture” fails to put a premium on safety and security, the co-chairman of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill said.

“U.S. oil and gas culture is the culture of the wildcat that’s been transferred offshore,” Bob Graham said today in an interview at an oil conference in Abu Dhabi. “The Gulf of Mexico had a culture of complacency. For every one fatality in the North Sea, there were four in the Gulf of Mexico.”

“In the North Sea, anyone can stop an operation,” Smith said in an interview at the same conference. “You can’t have a situation where operators have to do things they don’t feel are safe. It costs money to stop but it’s worth it.” Read more at fuelfix.com

Background In 2003, the United Nations (UN) adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The GHS includes criteria for the classification of health, physical and environmental hazards, as well as specifying what information should be included on labels of hazardous chemicals as well as safety data sheets. The United States was an active participant in the development of the GHS, and is a member of the UN bodies established to maintain and coordinate implementation of the system. The official text of the GHS can be found on the UN web page. Read more at www.osha.gov

OSHA and Hazard Communication

Are you ready to change the way that you handle Hazard Communication?

Amplify’d from www.reginfo.gov

Title: Hazard Communication

DOL/OSHA

Abstract: OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and material safety data sheets to convey the hazards and associated protective measures to users of the chemicals. All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces are required to have a hazard communication program, including labels on containers, material safety data sheets (MSDS), and training for employees. Within the United States (U.S.), there are other Federal agencies that also have requirements for classification and labeling of chemicals at different stages of the life cycle. Internationally, there are a number of countries that have developed similar laws that require information about chemicals to be prepared and transmitted to affected parties. These laws vary with regard to the scope of substances covered, definitions of hazards, the specificity of requirements (e.g., specification of a format for MSDSs), and the use of symbols and pictograms. The inconsistencies between the various laws are substantial enough that different labels and safety data sheets must often be used for the same product when it is marketed in different nations. The diverse and sometimes conflicting national and international requirements can create confusion among those who seek to use hazard information. Labels and safety data sheets may include symbols and hazard statements that are unfamiliar to readers or not well understood. Containers may be labeled with such a large volume of information that important statements are not easily recognized. Development of multiple sets of labels and safety data sheets is a major compliance burden for chemical manufacturers, distributors, and transporters involved in international trade. Small businesses may have particular difficulty in coping with the complexities and costs involved. As a result of this situation, and in recognition of the extensive international trade in chemicals, there has been a long-standing effort to harmonize these requirements and develop a system that can be used around the world. In 2003, the United Nations adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Countries are now adopting the GHS into their national regulatory systems.  Read more at www.reginfo.gov

Conversations: Farm Safety

Kristy Pagel Diamond V Dairy safety is a hot topic now that the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor is inspecting dairies. When producers and their advisors meet in the conference room (or around the kitchen table) to discuss the safety needs of their operations, a good first step is actively fostering a safety culture. The second step is developing and implementing a safety program, should one not currently exist.

What is this deal about recordability?

I think that this post has good point on Recordability. Recordability is just a number and my question: Is it worth the effort to just achieve no recordable injuries. To me this does not add value to the process. We need to consider moving beyond this and focus on the real causes of injuries. If we spent as much energy on fixing the problem as we do trying to reduce recordability, would be better off?



Would it be better to stop discussing un-safe acts and start understanding more about behaviors of everyone in the organization, from the floor level, supervision, top management, etc.



The challenge, as I see it, is to move beyond BBS to understanding Human Performance, for example how active errors (what you can observe) and latent errors (hidden errors built into the process) affect the organization.

Who Cares How Many Days You've Gone Without an OSHA Recordable?

Do you want to be the employee that ruins the record?  Imagine that you are an employee who for the past 26 years has done a good job.  The quality and quantity of your production has been highly acceptable by everyone.  In fact, other employees strive to be like you because supervisors and managers say, "We wished everyone was like (you)."  Then one day you are working on a project and properly bending your knees and keeping your spine straight, and "snap", a sound you've never heard and a pain that you've never felt in you lower back.  At this point your attitude is, "How did that happen?"  The next day you are off work for the first day in your 26-year career; three days later you return.  As a person who values your personal integrity more than your job, you don't even think about the storm that is coming when you return to work.
