Doing Safety Differently: An Introduction to HOP (Human & Organizational Performance) (SGA)

One of the biggest challenges for safety leaders in our industry and others, is to leverage the beliefs and behaviors of employees to remove variables from their work that drive employees into making poor or less-than-desirable decisions. Although, statistically speaking, safety programs have been improving in most industries over the years, fatal and serious incidents/events have not. That’s why we are now starting to see a trend of organizations making a philosophical shift away from Behavior Based Safety (BBS) programs towards Hu-man and Organizational Performance (HOP) programs because you can’t continue to do the same things over and over again, expecting different outcomes. This presentation is guaranteed to challenge your beliefs about safety in a positive way. The 1st half of the presentation will focus on understanding why a philosophical transformation from BBS to HOP is needed. The second half is focused on sharing personally selected HOP tools that the presenter thinks will be useful in building and supporting a foundation for an organizational transformation from Safety 1 to 2 or from one philosophy to another. The audience will be exposed to a New Pathway of looking at Safety and Organizational Performance because Significant Injuries & Fatalities (SIFs) are not trending in the right direction and they can be extremely debilitating to organizations, not to mention the family members, friends, and co-workers involved. The ultimate goal for such a transformation is to build organizational resilience by designing systems that allow people to fail safely and develop a view that expecting perfection from workers, processes, and procedures is unrealistic. #SGA
