Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Collect data that is meaningful to operations. There’s a lot of data that is really interesting to safety professionals that is completely lost on Operations personnel. To be a credible resource you must stick to the topics that are most important to Operations. If you’re not sure what that information is, provide a list of the kinds of data you can collect and ask Operations leadership which is most important and why. From there you can provide a more impactful information package and in most cases save yourself a lot of work. If you expect to get leadership/operations support, you need to collectively establish what measurable will be meaningful to operations and then report trend data at regular intervals. Analyze data and turn it into information. Too often safety professionals mistake “data” with “information”. Data isn’t, in itself, useful and for us to be a resource to Operations we need to analyze the data and provide information in the form of conclusions and recommendations. Many safety professionals don’t feel comfortable drawing conclusions and making recommendations, but unless you do so, you will never be an effective manager. Understand what Operations Will Do with the information. Deal with the “how”s and “why”s rather than the “who”s and “what”s. To take control of your workplace safety you will have to let go of your role of policeman and tattle-tale. Integrate safety data into process data Provide solutions and recommendations not questions leadership/operations support, and collectively establish what measurable will be meaningful to operations and then report trend data at regular intervals?
  2. What I would like you to do now is go back to your organization and take a look at your info.
