  2. Agenda • Safety Evaluation Background • Safety Project Objectives • Perception Survey • Take Aways

  3. Evaluation Background SecDef’s Challenge Honorable Donald Rumsfeld Secretary of Defense “World class organizations do not tolerate preventable accidents.”

  4. Evaluation Background DoD IG Announcement • The purpose of our project is to: • Evaluate the DOD safety program and suggest changes to help achieve a reduction in accidents, as directed by the Secretary of Defense. • Identify safety issues within DoD and provide a roadmap for change to improve the Department’s safety program.

  5. Evaluation Background Project Outline Project Elements: • Policy • Organization • PPBE • Exceptional Practices • Safety Perception Survey • Part I - Senior Leader • Part II - Active Duty • Part III - Civilian • Part IV - Guard/Reserve

  6. Balancing Assessments • Lagging • Aircraft Mishaps • Fatality Rates • Lost Work-Day Rates • Motor Vehicle Accidents • Workers Compensation • Leading • PerceptionSurveys • Behavior Observations • Internal/External Reviews • Near-Miss Data • Process Measures Consequence Prevention

  7. Safety Program Transformation Prevention Programs Consequence Management LEADING INDICATORS LAGGING INDICATORS Aircraft Mishaps Near-miss Data INCIDENT Perception Surveys Motor Vehicle Accidents Overlap / Synergy? Process Measures Fatality Rates Mishap Prevention

  8. Perception Survey Partnering • Survey developed and evaluated with the National Safety Council (NSC) • Reviewed by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) • External review by a National Safety Expert • OIG Quantitative Methods Division (QMD) independently reviewed to validate data

  9. Perception Survey Purpose • Identify problem areas • Prioritize potential target components… that would lead to the mandated 50% reduction Objectives • Snapshot of today’s perception of safety within DoD • Provide comparative analysis (NSC Database) • Establish Baseline for the future • Motivate & Facilitate Leadership Involvement

  10. Safety Perception Surveys Demographics 9,604 Active Duty (37% Response Rate) 46,171 Civilian Personnel (63%) 75,000+ Guard and Reserve (36%) 131,000+ Total Reponses Safety Barometer Survey • 46 Questions fromNational Safety Council (NSC) • 5-point scale • Benchmarked against NSC’s database (232 organizations) • Percentile (0 to 100th)

  11. Survey Results Active Duty, Civilian, Guard/Reserve Active Guard/ Definition Title Duty Civilian Reserve The presence or quality of safety program practices – focus on communications, training, inspection, maintenance, and emergency response. Considers six primary roles supervisors use to communicate support: leader, manager, controller, trainer, worker advocate, organization representative. Describes ways top and middle management demonstrate leadership and commitment to safety through words, actions, organization, and control. Personnel general beliefs and impressions concerning leadership’s commitment and underlying philosophy regarding safety. Selected actions and reactions that are critical to making the program work – emphasis on personal responsibility and compliance. Safety Support Climate Supervisor Participation Leadership Participation Safety Support Activities Personnel Participation OVERALL Elements Requiring Attention

  12. Survey Results Active Duty, Civilian, Guard/Reserve • Supports the validation of the survey data • Active Duty - 55th • Civilian personnel 56th • Guard & Reserve - 57th • There was no notable difference between the perceptions of the Active Duty, Civilian, and Guard/Reserve populations • Unit Teamwork is consistently high throughout • the DoD

  13. Survey Results Active Duty, Civilian, Guard/Reserve Service perceptions concerning their safety climates are substantially different Safety is not uniformly established and accepted among ranks / grades – there is a substantial disconnect between senior management and the workforce Leadership and Personnel participation categories are perceived as the least positive

  14. Survey Results Active Duty, Civilian, Guard/Reserve The elevated neutral response rate of 72% may indicate that the majority of components are not sufficiently visible The Active Duty force perceives that the stress from increased operations tempo contributes to increasing off-duty accidents

  15. Active Duty Civilian Reserve 26 22 19 18 17 16 10 6 4 Benchmarked 46 Questions - Navy Overall • 15% scored above the 75th percentile • 41% scored in the 50th to 74th percentile • 44% scored below the 50th percentile

  16. Program Categories Percentile- Navy - Active Duty

  17. Program Categories Percentile- Navy - Civilian

  18. Program Categories Percentile- Navy - Reserve

  19. Percentile by Grade- Navy - Active Duty

  20. Percentile by Grade- Navy - Civilian

  21. Percentile by Grade- Navy - Reserve

  22. Percentile by Location- Navy - Active Duty

  23. Percentile by Location- Navy - Civilian

  24. Percentile by Location- Navy - Reserve

  25. Customized Items- Navy 4 Questions Where Average Response Scored - Not Benchmarked

  26. Safety perception is not uniform across all Grades Trend is normally less positive than seniors Substantial split between officers and enlisted Warrant Officers are uncharacteristically high Civilian Flightline is opposite the normal trend 36% Lower than Active Duty 46% Lower than Reserve Stress and Operational tempo is perceived as increasing off-duty accidents Observations

  27. Take Aways… Questions for Reflection and Discussion: • How do we increase ownership in readiness/safety amongst all Navy personnel? • How do we describe the desired end-state? • How do you align policy and program resources with the strategic goal of mishap reduction? • What are the leading indicators that will impact mishap prevention and program effectiveness?
