American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) SeminarFest 2010
Topic: #46 Balanced Scorecard Approach to Determine Safety Program Effectiveness
20 February 2010
Instructor: Terry Mathis, CEO, ProAct Safety
http://www.asse.org/education/
Abstract: What gets measured gets managed. This statement is true in safety. The Balanced Scorecard System is a management system that can provide a new approach to measurement of safety program effectiveness. The Balanced Scorecard system provides a clear vision of the status of an operation and translates that vision into actions that facilitate identification of improvement in safety results. Using this system, you will learn to organize benchmarks in four perspective categories, learning and growth, business process, customer and financial. Using these four perspectives, you will learn to establish metrics that can be collected and analyzed on a continual basis to achieve a more meaningful metric for measurement of safety improvements. Learn to:
· Define the Balanced Scorecard management system and describe its application to safety management
· Implement the Balanced Scorecard management system to measure the effectiveness of your safety and health program
2010 Industrial Minerals Technology Workshop
Topic: Behavior-Based Safety’s Role in a Mine’s Safety Culture
Date: 23 February 2010
Speaker: Shawn M. Galloway, President and Chief Operating Officer, ProAct Safety
Abstract: Behavior-Based Safety is often a misunderstood tool. It is not the preverbal silver bullet, nor is every mining environment ready for it. What leads to success in one mine could be problematic for another, because no two mines have the same culture. Understanding and enhancing your culture is the first step towards sustained excellence in safety. This presentation discovers the opportunities to customize and apply site-specific advanced behavioral and cultural principles to safety. Join us in exploring the elements necessary to internally achieve and sustain safety excellence by focusing on your most effective sustainability tool, your culture.
