How is culture measured at your site? How many times are your site leadership visible on the plant floor per month? Does the rest of the organization conduct safety observations?Are safety interactions and safety observations data programmed and retrieved to indicate compliance/implementation as per schedule?

These are all good questions to think about when looking into how organizations can transform their safety culture from its current state into a world-class safety organization where people actively work together to ensure everyone complies with safety regulations, PPE requirements across the site, Safe Work Practices, Visible Leadership and Management commitment is felt from the top of the organization all the way down to the plant floor.

Safety Observations and Safety Interactions are the catalyst for SHE cultural transformation across organizations. They allow leaders to interact with employees, contractors and field personnel more effectively and genuinely with the intent of observing unsafe acts and address them on the spot without blame as well recognize safe behaviors and appreciate them appropriately when necessary.

The Safety Observations and Safety Interactions (SOSI) Mgr is an electronic portal that allow organizations to record their safety observations and interactions electronically, alerts are programmed to indicate that a safety observations should be conducted by each respective employee upon an agreed schedule. Each individual will have a target to complete per month and performance is extracted from the portal electronically to show who is doing these as agreed and who is not conducting these as they should.

More importantly, these observations and interactions address real behaviors that are safe or unsafe on the spot and correct unsafe behaviors as they arise, reducing risk, instilling a culture that is synergetic, which acts to correct others and not just themselves on their own free will.

The software can then generate reports on the number of unsafe behaviors observed, the type of behaviors that are commonly observed so that the Safety organization can develop targeted programs to address these alarming observations. Organizations are then able to see if the trend is heading towards ‘zero’ as a result of these targeted programs... this redefines their effectiveness and provides continuous improvement thereby shifting the Safety Culture towards Word-Class. The software automatically reports this data into the electronic PSM wheel where key performance indicators from this element are updated in real time automatically.
