Question 1

In the article “Stepping Up to Operational Safety Excellence,” by L. L. Hansen, the author outlines four stages on the safety excellence continuum: SWAMP, NORM, EXCELLENCE, and WORLD CLASS. Where is your current organization, or one you worked for previously, on this continuum? Discuss the evidence that led to your conclusion. What efforts are needed to raise it to the next level? If you feel that your organization has achieved WORLD CLASS status, what is needed to ensure that the level is maintained?

Your response must be at least 300 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Question 2

Since risk cannot be reduced to zero, the ALARP concept is often applied. What might be some pitfalls to applying this concept? In your response, include how ALARP might be affected by an organization’s financial considerations, as well as how ALARP and “acceptable risk” are related.

Your response must be at least 300 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

 

 


Unit III Assignment 

Safety Policy Statement 

Compose a safety policy statement for your current organization (or an organization for which you previously worked), following the guidelines in the course textbook. Be certain it is specific to the organization, and not just a series of generic statements.  

On a new page at the end of your policy statement, briefly propose how the statement should be distributed to the organization. You may also add additional comments or explanations as needed. If you use any sources other than your own experience, you must include a reference list and in-text citations.  

You may choose any format for the layout of your policy statement. For this assignment, APA formatting is required only for references and citations. A title page is not required. Be sure to include your last name in the name of the uploaded file, e.g., last name_safety policy.doc  (500 words)

Read:

 Chapter 5: Management Leadership and Employee Participation – Section 3.0

We have said that managers, supervisors, and employees all have individual responsibilities for safety and need to be held accountable. What then, is the role of safety professionals? How should they be held accountable? What has been your observation/experience in this regard as a safety professional or while dealing with safety professionals? Please give a full and practical example to the clsss.
