Good day Shayla,

easy way is go in-house, using company words and jargon and real-time examples.
Management by walkabout uses on the job training orientation.
Go Look Go See. Go to the source to collect the facts to form a consensus.
Develop a story board of training aspects and basic risk assessment vs hazards and types of controls anyone can encounter in your organization.

Use home examples to change perception, interpretation and comprehension.
Determine skill matrix based on Job Description / Profile and competencies required.
Use practical examples of how work instruction incorporate quality and safety key points,
explain ERICPD acronym for Hierarchy of Controls. Explain how each step is vital and walk through basic explanation to gauge understanding.

reminder Worker competency: Understand/can do/ can teach. explain how each step is achieved and past experiences aligned linked and replicated to achieve based on built-in safety aspects, inherent controls, people controls and self discipline.
Empowerment is knowing what the impact will be if you do not follow the rules...potentially from FA injury all the way to a fatality or affect on community as the risk matrix explains the impact of an incident escalation.

Make a worker feel safe in the knowledge that the foundation of controls is SFAIRP Implemented.
Explain how stop-call-fix rules work
Scene preservation in accidents/incidents - use reference to a car accident if needed
role of Health and safety committee HSR and collaboration and worker engagement.
Roles, Responsibility and Accountability
Internal Communication vs Control vs Documentation and OJT - Keen sense
Look with fresh eyes Novice vs. exposure outside of company to workplace examples using Buddy system of supports
Review how to communicate 3 way comms talk
Review Feedback vs. Improvement vs disciplines vs. attitudes vs job security
Review importance of objective evidence and continuous improvement cycles
Review Work Content vs Implied Safety vs Documentation of what should happen not what has become the norm over time. Auditors hat.
Respect, values and personal goals
personal culture vs corporate culture vs vision

Ratios are a lie and can be manipulated.
***Apples for ++++apples comparison is even harder, as the hazards and controls are not equal across organizations. So no benchmark is possible or valid.

Rather stop ratios and rather choose incident cases counts.
Simply meet with your H&S committee and a normal worker...ask them to explain a Frequency rate????

Now ask them to explain in a year we had: 0x Notifiable Incidents, 1x Lost Time Injuries (LTI), 5x Restricted Work Case, 5 Medical Treatment Injuries (MTI), 3x Minor Injuries (MI), 26x Near Miss Incident(NM).

I doubt any workers who are supposed to be the drivers of the safety campaign will ever understand Oh this month our LTIF is 0.009 but our FYTD LTIF 0.02.

Not many Executives can explain it either....
Frequency rates were from the mines back in the day and based on large headcount and manhours.

Use it loose it??

As my Role as HSM at a MHF Site My reference is for MHF Sites, however the definitions remain unchanged for any Notifiable Incidents: https://www.worksafe.govt.nz/notifications/notifiable-event/what-is-a-notifiable-event/


I have cut this from my Incident Reporting Document. I hope these help..feel free to use these in your improved Incident Forms:

2. A Forklift is a Counterbalance, Diesel, LPG, or Battery Lifting & wheel driven Machine. a "Hoist" is generally air/electrical powered vertical axis lifting equipment- usually attached to a gantry or frame.
hahahahaha, unsure why its called a Hoist historically in NZ?
