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.
My 2 Cents worth for today. It is Monday morning and I am looking for some healthy debate on this subject!!!!
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.
