Safety Consulting
The safety performance level of an organization is a direct result of the relationships that are formed between people and the other components of their work systems—the hardware, the procedures, and the managed, physical and social environments.
Our consulting approach for improving safety performance is to always begin with a situational assessment from the perspective of the human performer(s) relative to the other components, not the other way around.
Consultation Approach
Our safety consulting engagements typically follow a sequence of four logical steps:
Understanding the Current Reality
Creating Solutions that Meet Clients Needs
Solution Implementation
Solution Measurement
Please read on for more information on these steps.
1. Understanding the Current Reality
The first step in any project is to take into account the “current reality” that exists within your organization. In order to achieve this, we perform a gap analysis by benchmarking the characteristics of your organization against those of best-in-class companies. We then produce a report outlining specific needs and/or recommendations. This step of the consulting engagement involves activities such as: data gathering, interviewing, document review, field assessment, etc.
2. Creating Solutions that Meet Clients Needs
This step uses the data gathered in step one (Understanding the Current Reality) to create a customized safety product and/or service, which will close the gaps identified in the analysis.
3. Solution Implementation
This step uses the data gathered in step one (Understanding the Current Reality) to create a customized safety product and/or service, which will close the gaps identified in the analysis.
4. Solution Measurement
This step of the project involves the review and/or assessment of the safety solution provided. Measurement ensures that gaps have been closed and organizational safety performance needs met.
