Risk Management or Performance Improvement ? Sonny Blackwell Vice President
The least expensive claim… is the one that never happens
Safety 1st
Quality Safety Productivity
Approaches Performance Allocating finite resources to achieve the mission Public Sector : Cost / Benefit (Total Cost of Risk) Private sector: Return on Investment (ROI) Risk-Based Achieving “tolerable” risk Varies with individuals Compliance What are the minimum requirements? OSHA? DHS? DOE? DOT? Reactive Keep “that “ from happening again
Hindsight Foreseeable
“Safety programs” under perform because • Perceived as a cost • Perceived as corporate overhead • Based in tradition • Quick fixes • No line accountability • Focus on “things” • Inconsistent implementation • Punitive orientation • “Activity” based • Don’t communicate in business terms.
Traditional Metrics Inspections Accidents Incident / Accident Rates Investigations Meetings Training sessions If you continue to do what you’ve always done, You’ll continue to get the same results ! Do these activities really affect the cost of risk? What is the point of diminishing return? Are there other interventions that would produce more significant business results?

Lean = A systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste • Defects • Overproduction • Waiting • Non-value added processing • Transportation • Inventory • Motion • Employees who are underutilized 9. Accident costs
Performance Approach • Integrated with and supports operations system • Line responsibility • Not a separate function or a staff responsibility • Culture • Improve bottom line and ROI to result in a competitive advantage • Increase options for risk finance
Emerging trends • More proactive planning 50% • More involved with strategic issues 47% • Improved ability to measure RM ROI 36% • Demonstrated value of enterprise RM 29% Source: Preliminary findings from the risk managers survey The National Alliance Research Academy
Errors Causes Countermeasures Rushing Frustration Fatigue Complacency Impairment Ignorance Eyes not on task Mind not on task In-the-line of fire Balance, traction & grip Accident Causation • Eliminate the hazard • Substitute a less hazardous substance or process • Engineering controls • Administrative controls • Personal protective equipment • Training
1. What’s the problem? • Who is generating claims? • Where? • When? • What? • Why? 2. What’s the most cost-effective countermeasure? 3. How do we implement it? 4. Is the countermeasure producing results?
