17 HSMS Putting it all together!

18 Objectives To understand the transition from Safety Group 5 year member to an Advantage Group Member. To understand what a Health & Safety Management System (HSMS) is. To understand the benefit of implementing a HSMS. 18

19 Building a Culture of Organizational Health, Safety and Wellness An Health & Safety Management System (HSMS) is based on the management system approach of Plan, Do, Check, Act, and is derived from the CSA standard Z1000: Occupational Health & Safety Management. 19

20 20 The key to a successful HSMS is not only identifying and controlling risks in the workplace, but also evaluating and continually improving the system itself.

21 Definition of HSMS Institute of Work and Health defines HSMS as: an integrated set of organizational elements involved in a continuous cycle of planning, implementation, evaluation, and continual improvement directed toward the abatement of occupational hazards in the workplace 21

22 Building a Culture of Safety 22

49 Evaluation Acknowledge Success Training Matrix MM.DD.YY

50 Safety Group Element 5 Acknowledge Success or Make Improvements 4 - Evaluate 1 Set Standards 2 - Communic ate 3 - Train To successfully achieve the safety group element a firm applies the 5 step management program 1. A written standard for the element 2. The method of communication to employees 3. Provided the necessary training 4. Evaluate if the element is working 5. Acknowledge success &/or MAKE IMPROVEMENTS Documentation/Record Keeping of each step is required.

51 Evaluation: what does it mean? A systematic method for collecting, analyzing, and using information to answer basic questions about the element effectiveness To verify that the standard is current and up to date with legislation and company best practices To determine the significance, worth, or condition usually by careful appraisal and study Audit, Quality Control, Assess, Check, Review, Examine, Inspect, Measure, Testing

52 Program Requirements for Evaluation (Step 4) Check Safety Group Employers Guidelines of individual element Document all forms of evaluation incorporate into existing methods Aim to complete Evaluation by year- end. If not, must complete by March 30 th, of following year (prior to spot checks starting). MUST have written plan of how element will be evaluated and completed by March to put Y on Year-end Report

53 Things to consider Determine if your safety group standards are working. How do you know? Is the standard working and achieving the desired result? Compare actual workplace activities to your written health & safety standards and expectations Keep track and document your evaluation process & analysis Negative results (or less than positive results) provide for Opportunities for Improvement. This is the importance of EVALUATION.

54 Evaluation Tools There are many different ways to evaluate: Analysis of observations/inspections or job-site audits Survey of employees interviews or questionnaire Statistical review & analysis - i.e. WSIB information Review and analysis by JHSC Management review and analysis Third party assessment and analysis See Employers Guidelines page 16

55 Evidence of Evaluation ASK REVIEW / ANALYZE REPORT = EVALUATION Collection of Data Consider What/Why, How, When, & Who i.e. Administer a Quiz to staff. Review or Analyze the data collected Consider Who, When & How? i.e. Score the quiz & tabulate the overall results and identified gaps. Reporting the Results Consider to Who, When, How & Where? i.e. Quiz results are discussed at JHSC and minutes posted.

56 Best Practices Use a checklist format Identify in advance how and what will be evaluated Excellent resource document for year-end documentation Write method of evaluation in Standard ( who, what, how, where & when) Include benchmarks in your written standards. Set a schedule

57 Best Practices Use or Add-to existing methods for Evaluation: Include on JHSC agenda to review elements - Recommend actions; Record in JHSC minutes & Post; Review elements at Management Meetings - Address recommendations; Action plan to improve & Minute meetings; Use monthly Workplace Inspections - Complete checklist; Action items; Action taken; post results. Regular worker observations - Set schedule; Ask supervisors to keep log books/checklists; include in inspection; internal audit. 57

58 2013 Maintenance Plan From results of evaluation develop maintenance plan for following year No changes Record date of review Indicate element is current/being followed If changes required must complete 5 steps in 2013 Update standard Communicate Train Evaluate Acknowledge success 58

59 Sample Workplace Inspection Checklist 59

60 Sample Evaluation Statement Statement recorded in minutes: JHSC evaluated the Workplace Inspection element for legislative compliance and understanding (JHSC minutes September 2012). Compared standard to safety group guidelines C-2, pg 31. All requirements met, no revisions required, no changes in legislation that would affect this element. 60

61 Step 5 Acknowledge Success/Make Improvements Review the Employer Guidelines p22-50 for individual elements; p18 for general suggestions. NOTE: this is no longer an either/or activity, it is both!! Recognize and thank people for their contributions and participation. Based on the results of your evaluation (Step 4), include items in your action plan for continuous improvement of your elements. (completed preferably in the program year January-December 31, 2012 but absolute deadline is March 30,2013) 61

62 Step 5 Acknowledging Success & Making Improvements Based on the results of your evaluation: Recognize everyone who contributed to a successful health & safety program by meeting & surpassing company standards, for example: Letter/memo from the president Newsletter Health & Safety awards or certificates Public recognition (i.e. coffee & muffins for JOHSC and/or employees) Performance Evaluations Accept negative evaluation results as opportunities for improvement - develop an action plan

63 Make Improvements When evaluation indicates the need for improvement, use co-operative approach to improve your company s performance. Objectives may include: Raise performance to company standard Raise company standards and expectations Improve application of health and safety management system. * Create Action Plan with recommended improvements, assignment and timelines. 63

64 Record of Training Determine what knowledge and skills are required for each element Determine the type of training to be delivered; classroom, hands on demonstrations, e-learning, etc. Determine who, what, where, when, why and how Review requirements for each element Training must be completed or verified within each program year (January December) 64

65 Record of Training Keep written record who, what, when Use training checklist and sign-off sheet Include training material with documentation Include certificates if appropriate Record information in JHSC minutes 65

66 Sample Training Matrix 66

67 Group Activity Find a Partner Discuss your progress to date with each element Are you doing what you said you would do? How do you know? What records do you have? What will you need to complete the 5 steps? Use the template to evaluate each other s element. 67

68 Validation Audit results

69 2011 Validation Audit results Reported score Final Score 80% 60% 100% *100% 100% *80% 100% 70% 100% *100% 80% *100% 100% 40%- Fail- no rebate 100% 100% 100% 70% 100% 70% 100% *100% Achievement average 80.9% Approximately 3.24/ 4 Increase from 2010 results of 3.02/4 Additional 2% to be determined based on LTI rate and severity reduction of the group 69

70

71 2011 Validation Audit results Major gaps identified Standard does not meet minimum requirements of Employer Guide No procedures to support the standard Training not completed for all staff- or training documentation not available Standard not evaluated 71

72 Other Gaps- Advantage group Internal Audit Incorrect reporting of conformities Not included in continual improvement plan Hazard Recognition and Assessment Not based on a standard formulae,( e.g. numerical, alpha, etc). Include a process to identify, assess and rate hazards 72

73 Other Suggestions Use training matrix to track all training programs Update job description/performance evaluation to include attend mandatory health and safety training Add evaluation document as an agenda item for JHEC & annual policy review 73

74 Other Suggestions Template for policies should include: Purpose Scope Roles and responsibilities Communication Training Evaluation Acknowledge success Make improvements 74
