2. OSHA Fatal Four
OSHA statistics shows these as the four most common
causes of death. All of which were caused by human
error and are preventable.
• Falls — 302 out of 828 total deaths in construction in
CY 2013 (36.5%)
• Struck by Object — 84 (10.1%)
• Electrocutions — 71 (8.6%)
• Caught-in/between — 21 (2.5%)
3. OSHA Cited Violations
The two most frequently cited standards by
Federal OSHA in fiscal year 2014 (October 1,
2013 through September 30, 2014) were
1. Fall protection (29 CFR 1926.501)
2. Hazard communication standard, general
industry (29 CFR 1910.1200)
Again, this is caused by human error.
Additionally, it could cause a lost time accident
or worse.
4. Texas Oilfield
Insurance Journal reported:
"Texas accounted for about 40 percent of
the 663 workers the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics said were killed nationwide in oil
field-related industries between 2007 and
2012, according to a Houston Chronicle
investigation that looked into safety in the
nation’s oil fields."
How many of these deaths were
preventable?
5. SMS Effectiveness
• In December of 2012 the Australian Transport Safety
Bureau performed a study on the effectiveness of a
Safety Management System (SMS) in the aviation,
marine and rail industries.
• While past incidents, reports and empirical data was
reviewed their study also included self-report metrics.
• Their study found that incorporating safety
management systems into normal business operations
does reduce accidents and improve safety in high-risk
industries.
6. The Other Guys
• Safety Management Programs are out there but how good are they?
• Some lack the ability to make it easy to use. An overdeveloped or
underdeveloped program is cumbersome and tiring. Some leave loopholes
for the user to disregard its intended use and circumvent protocol.
• They're designed by people without regard for the end user. A majority of
the developers have never worked in a hazardous environment.
• They lack the ability to expand and provide more options to the customer.
• They don't provide read access globally
• They are a cookie cutter program offered to all its customers.
• They don't offer field devices for the user.
7. How We Do It Better
• Our program is developed for the user to help create a safer
work environment and minimize human errors. Certified
Safety Professionals and industrial technicians work with
developers to create a system with the end user in mind.
• It's created much like you would create something with Lego
blocks. The system can easily integrate more options or
remove some as the customer's needs change.
• It can be limited to a job site or accessed globally.
• Field devices through iOS can access the system keeping it
flexible, portable and above all effective.
8. How We Do It Better
• The most important factor is that it is easy to use.
• Forms are connected and once general data is imputed it
is applied throughout the various forms automatically.
• It's intuitive. Once you enter a job description it will auto
search data and provide recommendations on items such
as JSA's and equipment to Lock Out.
• It's database is searchable. Once a job is created or
closed the database is available for review and labeled as
In Progress for jobs not yet approved, Open for those that
are and Closed after the job is complete.
9. One Above The Rest
• There are many computerized management
systems available on the market today. None
offer the flexibility at an affordable rate and
maintain a clean, easy to use and effective
platform.
