HOP Principles 4 & 5 Learning is Vital and Response Matters, May 13th, 2024 at 11am EST

Webinar Four: Learning is Vital and Response Matters
The fourth principle of HOP is about being a lot more interested in learning than traditional safety has allowed for. Learning is vital – after an event, we need to understand the conditions in which work was happening in order to learn and improve. We’ve worked with countless organizations that produce the same corrective actions over and over again, the same policies, and the same reliance on memos, procedures and retraining. These activities aren’t moving the dial in terms of actually improving organizational performance. Yes, we need to be learning when things go wrong – but even more importantly, we need to learn from normal work and everyday actions. It’s there that we really can start to tap into the creativity, innovation and capacity which already exists in the organization. Finally, the fifth principle of HOP is Response Matters. We use the term ‘response’ deliberately because oftentimes we find that what we do in a situation is react – and reacting is very different to responding. If managers and leaders and everyone in an organization is really working on managing their response to failure, it creates a far better environment where we can learn and develop and grow. Making knee-jerk reactions often involves blame or judgment that gets in the way of valuable learning opportunities. If we can manage that response, organizations will be far more effective across all these different areas.

Getting Safety Right - First Prevent Serious and Fatal Injuries

November 7th 2019 at11:00 am EST
Companies in every industry implement many initiatives to improve safety results. Too often, those initiatives are aimed at the most frequent injuries and miss the injuries that are most severe – serious injuries & fatalities (SIF’s). Join an informative webinar to learn about how the Henrich Triangle from the 1930’s is no longer an accurate predictor of injury severity. Learn how to evaluate your SIF Prevention maturity and what you can do to improve your process. Management’s credibility hinges largely on what your employees perceive as the organization’s commitment to SIF prevention.
