The Safety Simply Works Program

We know, working as an EH&S professional isn’t easy. The rules are complex – OSHA, EPA, NFPA, ISO – all of which you are expected to be an expert on. And, on top of all that comes the endless logs, inspections, reports, audits and investigations that you have to do. It’s hard to have time to spend on the one thing that management expects from you: preventing accidents and injuries!

That’s where the Safety Simply Works  program comes in. Safety Simply Works  is an accident and injury prevention program that is focused on the two groups that have the most impact on safety in the workplace: the workers and front line supervisors. With Safety Simply Works  we show those groups how to increase their safety awareness every day, and we do it without making their jobs more complicated. We give supervisors and employees simple safety tools they will use every day, and we train them in how to use them. We teach them how to perform a risk analysis for a task without using a complicated form that takes an hour. Supervisors learn how to coach for safety without preaching and are provided tools for eliminating those all-too-frequent new hire injuries.

The Safety Simply Works  program includes five segments as follows:

1. The Plain Language Safety Review to make your safety procedures more useful and useable to your employees while maintaining compliance,

2. An On-Site Safety Review conducted with front-line supervisors and/or workers that serves as a teaching tool and gages physical safety,

3. Training supervisors to perform Simple Safety “ACTs” when they observe workers exhibiting risky behaviors,

4. Providing Simplified Job Safety Summary templates and training. These summaries are plain language job hazard analyses that employees develop and use to brief new employees, and

5. The First 5 tool, which gives supervisors and employees the ability to quickly and effectively perform a hazard analysis before starting a task. The First 5 tool is a proven injury reduction tool for on-site and remote workers.
