All senior executives want to prevent SIF’s from occurring in their organisations. And they tend to believe reflexively that if the number of smaller injuries is declining, so must the number of fatal and serious injuries. In fact, many organisations find themselves today with rates of fatal and serious injuries that are level or even rising while the rate of smaller injuries declines.
Why is this happening? What does it mean? Shouldn’t all injuries decline at approximately the same rate if the right things are being done to improve safety?
This presentation will provide data analytics that explode traditional thinking about the Heinrich Pyramid. It will show how new thinking about the causes of SIF’s can spur ideas and interventions that can make a significant safety difference in your organisation.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the flaws in traditional thinking about how to reduce injuries.
- Learn what years of studies show about the different causes of SIF’s and less serious injuries.
- Recognise how to seek the precursors of SIF’s in your organisation – what to look for.
- Gain new insights into how to improve your organisation’s safety record.
