5. Driving down Risk costs $ How far do you drive down risk? What is the cost of mitigation? What residual risk is acceptable? Risk management retains Who is risk acceptor? Risk/Cost Industrial Hygiene

6. Costs: Managing & controlling Process Resources expended to remove hazard Costs associated with training Risk And Cost Industrial Hygiene

7. As you drive down risk, the cost increases! Risk Industrial Hygiene

8. Residual Risk – The risk remaining after mitigation has been applied. Review: Residual risk Industrial Hygiene

13. Safety Attitude: 1966 Safety was a management prerogative. They could have it or not. Workers looked out for themselves. Then – OSHA – 1970. Accidents changed the attitude Safety 5120 Industrial Hygiene

39. Changing Safety Roles QA Aspect Environmental Mission vrs Safety Safety Culture – Safety Climate Current Issues Industrial Hygiene

40. Culture: shared values and beliefs of an organization commonly described as "the way we do things here." The culture also can be thought of as the shared norms for behavior in the organization. Climate, prevailing influences on a particular area of functioning (such as safety) at a point in time. Climate should be discussed in the context of being the climate for something: safety, quality, service, etc. It reflects employee perceptions about what gets rewarded, supported and expected in a particular setting. Safety Culture – Safety Climate Industrial Hygiene

41. Safety Climate – Safety Culture Safety Culture doesn’t support Safety Culture Short term strengthing of climate Will only result in short-term improvement Climate Industrial Hygiene

42. Goal: Improve Culture Good Safety Culture Safety Climate stays! Industrial Hygiene

43. Accidents don’t necessarily address culture issues Accidents: Focus on Climate Industrial Hygiene

44. Fatality occurs: Notes in the culture of the organization: The people at this site were never unconcerned about safety Did not set out to ignore safety procedures. Important assumptions that worked against safety: Being the best in the division was important to personnel at the site, Being the best meant doing what they needed to do to maximize productivity. Workers knew their jobs very well after all, they were highly experienced and successful so that having process steps checked by supervisors was not seen to have much value. Safety Culture Industrial Hygiene

45. Emphasize Double Checking Safety as important as production Setting milestones/Performance goals Communicating! Safety Culture Industrial Hygiene
