Introduction
Language barriers, cultural differences, Hazard
Recognition, Behavioral Observations, and securing
employee “buy-in” are just some of the many factors
we must consider when designing and implementing
our safety program. Employing one continuous
thought process from job planning through
completion while bridging the language gap, provides
employees with a greater understanding of their
safety responsibilities. This workshop was developed
for all employees within an organization and by using
the icon-based S.O.S. System©, Hazard Recognition
and Behavioral Observations will be greatly enhanced.
Target Audience
All employees will benefit by becoming more
proficient at recognizing hazards and making effective
workplace Observations. This workshop targets
General Managers, SH&E Managers, Risk Managers,
Loss Prevention Managers, SH&E Reps & Committee
Members, Operating Staff and employees in general.
Workshop Objectives
- Learning how our attitudes affect our
behavior;
- Understanding why employees seem to
“miss” the everyday hazards around us;
- Discussing the roles of the Job Safety (Hazard)
Analysis, Tailgate (Toolbox) Safety Meetings,
and Observation and Intervention process;
- Introduce the S.O.S. System© and why it can
enhance the current JSA and BBS systems
being used within a company;
- How the icon-based S.O.S. System© reduces
language difficulties;
- Gain greater knowledge of how to enhance
Hazard Recognition and Control and
Behavioral Observations in the workplace.
Workshop Description
The S.O.S. System© was designed to simplify the
tailgate safety meeting, pre-job meeting, JSA,
JHA, JSEA, and BBS systems while increasing their
effectiveness and reducing language difficulties.
There are ten situations which either cause or are a
contributing cause in almost all incidents. Participants
learn the icon-based system in a memory format, and
through discussions understand what category of
hazards each icon represents in their own workplace.
Participants learn to use the icons in a similar manner
as a pilot uses a pre-flight checklist. However, since
the icons are taught in a memory system, the need
for carrying additional forms, etc. is eliminated. By
employing the checklist concept, employees do not
overlook the routine hazards which cause most of
our incidents. The same “Ten-Point System” is then
used as a basis for the Behavioral Observation Process.
By using one simple system from planning through
completion of the job, employees become much more
effective in their safety applications.
