Safety Law Legal Aspects in Occupational Safety and Health

Safety Law Legal Aspects in Occupational Safety and Health

Safety professionals must prepare every day to safeguard their employees in the workplace. Additionally part of every safety professional’s responsibility is to safeguard their organization when a compliance inspection is conducted by federal OSHA or a state plan agency. Safety professionals are most organizations’ onsite safety and health expert and should be prepared far in advance of an inspection. They should be prepared during the inspection and ready to defend the organization after the inspection. With the increase in the monetary penalties the impact on an organization as a result of identified violations can be substantial. This text prepares and educates safety professionals to address every phase from strategies to compliance to defenses and provides a one stop location for information to address and prepare the safety professional if/when OSHA knocks at the door. Additionally the safety function does not work in a vacuum. Other potential risks and potential liabilities from other laws such as the ADA which can impact the safety function are also addressed.

Contractor Safety Management

Contractor Safety Management

A Winner of the Educational Award by the World Safety Organization Contractor safety management is often seen as nothing more than a subset of general safety management in that no special consideration needs to be given to understanding the difficulties of the contract environment. This leaves contractors endlessly juggling competing and sometimes contradictory demands made by the principal in the name of safety and health. Instead of managing the work in accordance with the contract and the agreed health and safety management plan contractors find themselves having to cope with moveable ever-changing expectations about the way that health and safety is supposed to be managed. Contractor Safety Management explores how the contracting principal relationship can influence safety outcomes and how a principal's role in overseeing the safety performance of its contractors is different from managing safety in its own organization. It brings together perspectives from different disciplines including legal health and safety management operational and contract and procurement management. The editor and chapter authors examine real-life cases the issues that they present and the way that safety management was handled. By sharing lessons across disciplines the book identifies critical issues in contractor safety management and raises awareness of its complexity and importance. It provides wide-ranging and comprehensive insight into the concerns confronting organizations managers and safety managers in contracting relationships. Offering guidance on how critical issues might be addressed the book uses real-life cases to draw conclusions from successes and failures that can guide future contracting strategies for effectively controlling health and safety risks in a contracting environment.

Safety Metrics for the Modern Safety Professional

Safety Metrics for the Modern Safety Professional

This book investigates the world of leading indicators and explores how they can be used effectively providing 21st-century safety professionals with alternative metrics and guidance which will enable them to make a difference in managing risk within an organization. The safety and health profession has been hindered by ineffective metrics for decades with the primary metrics of choice being the OSHA incident rate and lost time accident rate. This narrow focus on what constitutes loss is not in line with the new concepts of managing the total risk that an organization faces. The book looks at indicators on a tactical level where they can be very effective in providing management with clear direction and manageable items they can utilize to elevate the safety efforts of an organization. It also explores the limitations of leading indicators at the strategic level and how they’re tied into the management merit review system to determine bonus and salary increase structures. It features measurements of areas of loss not usually considered by safety managers suggests ways to use leading indicators and promotes a departure from traditional body count thinking. This book will be of interest to safety professionals involved in risk management in the modern workplace. | Safety Metrics for the Modern Safety Professional

Measuring Safety Management Performance

Measuring Safety Management Performance

Measuring Safety Management Performance lists and explains the difference between lagging and leading measures of safety management performance. It informs the reader how to use both proactive and reactive safety performance indicators and explains that consequence measurement is not an accurate reflection of the organization’s safety effort. It suggests managements’ Safety Performance Indicators (SPI) should be changed to proactive positive measures of action and activities which can be controlled and accurately measured. A roadmap of a holistic system for measurement is offered that covers health and safety performance. It shows how management is traditionally informed about where they have been by information provided relating to injury data rather than proactive measurable and controllable data on accident prevention efforts provided by the health and safety management system (SMS) which indicate where they are going. This highly practical book features examples of safety performance indicators provides positive guidelines for accurate safety performance measurement and is based on actual workplace experiences. It explains the strengths and weaknesses of proactive and reactive measurement metrics and gives examples of leading and lagging safety performance indicators.

Searching for Safety

Searching for Safety

Protecting ourselves against the risks associated with modern technologies has emerged as a major public concern throughout the industrialized world. Searching for Safety is unique in its exposition of a theory that explains how and why risk taking makes life safer and exposes the high risk of avoiding change. The book covers a wide range including how the human body as well as plants animals and insects cope with danger. Wildavsky asks whether piling on safety measures actually improves safety. While he agrees that society should sometimes try to prevent large-scale harm he explains why a strategy of resilience—learning from error how to bounce back in better shape—is usually better. His intention is to shift the debate about risk from passive prevention of harm to an active search for safety. This book will be of special interest to those concerned with risk involving technology health safety environmental protection regulation and more.

Construction Safety Management Systems

Construction Safety Management Systems

The construction industry has a distressingly poor safety record whether measured in absolute terms or alongside other industries. The level of construction safety in a country is influenced by factors such as variations in the labour forces shifting economies insurance rates legal ramifications and the stage of technological development. Yet the problem is a world-wide one and many of the ways of tackling it can be applied across countries. Effective tools include designing preplanning training management commitment and the development of a safety culture. The introduction and operation of effective safety management systems represents a viable way forwards but these systems are all too rarely implemented. How can this be done? Should we go back to prescriptive legislation? This book considers these questions by drawing together leading-edge research papers from the proceedings of an international conference conducted by a commission (W099) on Safety and Health on Construction Sites of CIB the international council of building research organisations. | Construction Safety Management Systems

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-I is defined as the freedom from unacceptable harm. The purpose of traditional safety management is therefore to find ways to ensure this ‘freedom’. But as socio-technical systems steadily have become larger and less tractable this has become harder to do. Resilience engineering pointed out from the very beginning that resilient performance - an organisation’s ability to function as required under expected and unexpected conditions alike – required more than the prevention of incidents and accidents. This developed into a new interpretation of safety (Safety-II) and consequently a new form of safety management. Safety-II changes safety management from protective safety and a focus on how things can go wrong to productive safety and a focus on how things can and do go well. For Safety-II the aim is not just the elimination of hazards and the prevention of failures and malfunctions but also how best to develop an organisation’s potentials for resilient performance – the way it responds monitors learns and anticipates. That requires models and methods that go beyond the Safety-I toolbox. This book introduces a comprehensive approach for the management of Safety-II called the Resilience Assessment Grid (RAG). It explains the principles of the RAG and how it can be used to develop the resilience potentials. The RAG provides four sets of diagnostic and formative questions that can be tailored to any organisation. The questions are based on the principles of resilience engineering and backed by practical experience from several domains. Safety-II in Practice is for both the safety professional and academic reader. For the professional it presents a workable method (RAG) for the management of Safety-II with a proven track record. For academic and student readers the book is a concise and practical presentation of resilience engineering. | Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials
