Role of Safety Management in the Organization

• Why have a safe workplace?
• Whose responsibility is it?
• Management
• Workers
• Labor Unions

22
Management Support

• From the highest level
• Written
• Real
• Committed
• including dollars, time, people
• Obligated to provide a safe workplace

23
Worker Responsibilities

• Obligated to act in a safe manner
• Has a right to know what the hazards are
• Has a right to receive appropriate training
• Has an obligation to participate in the safety
  process

24
Labor Union

• Primary issues wages, jobs, safety
• GM-UAW model
• Must be a participant in the process

25
What is an organization?

• Factory
• Company
• Office
• Warehouse
• Communications
• Transportation
• Service
• Agriculture
• Forestry

• Mining
• Government
• Military
• Non-Profits
• Hospitals
• Financial Institutions
• Education
• Home
• Etc.

26
The Out-Dated Safety Model

• Safety Director (not integrated)
• Near-retiree
• temporary position
• place to stick a loser
• human resource person
• distribute safety posters, collect statistics
• reactive
• NO POWER!

27
Occupational Safety Health Act

• 1970
• Act and Administration
• General Duty Clause (p. 82)
• improved status of Safety Manager, but still must
  be integrated into the organization

28
Safety Approaches

• Reactive vs Proactive
• The best time to buy a new fire truck is right
  after the big fire
• Cultural Safety
• Convict the guilty
• Participatory
• True Economic Partnership

29
Solutions

1. Engineering Controls
2. Administrative Controls
3. Personal Protective Equipment

30
The Goal

• Totally eliminate hazards?
• Naïve and economically unfeasible
• What is acceptable risk?
• What is risk?

31
Risk

• Risk is an expression of the possibility of a
  mishap in terms of hazard severity and hazard
  probability
• What risk are we willing to accept?

32
A Managers Decision

• In the real world we must choose among the
  following
• Hazards that are physically infeasible to correct
• Hazards that are physically feasible to correct,
  but economically infeasible to correct
• Hazards that are economically and physically
  feasible to correct

33
Case Study 1.1

• Page 3 of text

34
Case Study 1.1

• There is a SH rationale to correct all three
  suggestions
• You need more data to make an informed management
  decision
• What are the frequency and severity implications?
• OSHA does not call for elimination of all
  hazards, just the ones that are recognized

35
A Goal for Managers in this Course

1. Assist in detecting hazards
2. Deciding which ones are worth correcting

36
Hazard Severity vs. LikelihoodTable 3.2
