Safety and Health Program Assessment Worksheet OSHA Form 33 Jim Barkley OSHCON Consultant Manager

Purpose The intent of this presentation is to explain how OSHCON uses the Form 33, and show how employers might use it to measure and evaluate the strength and completeness of their safety and health programs. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

WHAT IS THE FORM 33? The Form 33 is an evaluation tool used by OSHA Consultation to assess an employer’s total safety and health management system when we perform Full Service -Comprehensive consultation visits. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Relation To SHARP & VPP The Form 33, though completed for all consultations performed by OSHCON, has a critical scoring requirement for those companies vying for SHARP status. The S&H Program attributes that the Form 33 contains are the same attributes that VPP applicants must also successfully develop. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

History First assessment worksheet was developed in 1984 Evolved with the inception of OSHA’s 1989 Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines - Originally four Categories with 22, then 25 elements. Current 58 attribute form launched in 2001. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Attribute Types Basic Items - 50 Attributes - Fundamental Building Blocks Stretch Items (*) - 8 Attributes - Attributes of Excellence - Operate Best When Basic Attributes are fully in Place Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Rating Values Defined 0: No discernible or meaningful indication that the item is even partially in place 1: Some portion or aspect is present although major improvement is needed 2: Item is largely in place with only minor improvements needed 3: Item is completely in place Form 33 Revised -- August 2007 32

Rating Values Defined NE: Not Evaluated - Recognizes that comprehensive evaluations are often incremental processes. NA: Not Applicable – Recognizes that there are organizational differences between larger and very small workplaces. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Concept of an Organizational Safety and Health System Operational Component Managerial Component Cultural Component Form 33 Revised -- August 2007 2

Operational Component Nineteen (19) Assessment Items Concerns system output regarding workplace hazards and violations (unsafe and unhealthful conditions and activities) Two (2) Sub-Components Hazard Anticipation & Detection (Items 1-10) Hazard Prevention & Control (Items 11-19) Form 33 Revised -- August 2007 3

Managerial Component Twenty (20) Assessment Items Concerns effect of traditional managerial functions: Planning Controlling Communicating Three (3) Sub-Components Planning & Evaluation (Items 20-25) Administration & Supervision (Items 26-33) Safety & Health Training (Items 34-39) Organizing Staffing Coordinating Directing Staff Development Motivating Form 33 Revised -- August 2007 3

Cultural Component Nineteen (19) Assessment Items Concerns values and principles mutually held by members of an organization Two (2) Sub-Components Management Leadership (Items 40-49) Employee Participation (Items 50-58) (Management leadership is needed to initiate change toward an improved safety and health culture, and employee participation is necessary to nurture and grow that culture.) Form 33 Revised -- August 2007 3

All Three Components Are Interrelated Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

A Systematic Method for Rating Attributes Incorporates the Concept of “Rating Cues” which are specific facts or perceptions that prompt and support the rating of a relevant attribute. Each attribute is worded as a positive statement. Each rating cue will operate either to CONFIRM or to NEGATE an attribute statement. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Sources of Rating Cues Observations and Measurements Interviews of employees and management at all levels Review of Documents and Record keeping Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Cue Content Indication of the existence (or absence) of the Attribute Indication of the extent of the Attribute Indication of the actual effect of the Attribute 1) Workplace accidents are investigated by the safety representative 2) Accidents are investigated by a team and multiple statements and forms are filled out. Latest JHA/JSA is re-evaluated for anything missing or possibly contributing to accident. 3) Workplace injuries dropped 60% from last year when 2 was implemented. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Multiple Cues Are Considered And Weighed Together Initial Cue Supporting Cues Conflicting or Contradictory Cues Example: #2 Effective safety and health self-inspections are performed regularly. Manager says monthly inspections are conducted. (initial) Safety coordinator pulls out completed inspection forms for 17 different types of inspections performed at the facility. (Supporting) Inspection forms are missing for some of the last 12 months, and others appear to be filled out incompletely or incorrectly. (conflicting) or…. Despite all the inspections, there were numerous hazards and violations identified. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

“Effective” and “Effectively” No two words carry more weight in our Safety and Health Program evaluations. It is not enough to just have something in place, it must be EFFECTIVE. Attributes that are only partially in place, or partially complete, or in place most of the time, are not 100% effective, and generate negative cues. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Using Cues to Score Attributes Rating Value Eliminated by a Single Confirming (Positive) Cue 1 Requires a single Confirming cue and multiple Negating (Negative) cues 2 Requires multiple Confirming cues and only a few Negating cues 3 Eliminated by a single Negating cue Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Examples Of Negative Cues Obviously, hazards and violations are negative cues. We would also include: Latest date on Safety Manual is 2002. “Safety Man” is keeping the place really safe, but it’s all up to him. NEO very thorough, but occurs 1 month after hire. Safety meetings not held when too busy. Listed HAZCOM coordinator died 1 year ago. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Examples of Positive Cues Employees know what an MSDS is. Has all the MSDS’s organized in a binder. Facility exhibits good housekeeping. Has stack of sign-in sheets for past safety meetings. Has a safety committee. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Examples of Better Positive Cues Safety responsibilities built into every job description. Formal annual review of all JHA/JSA’s. Created a matrix chart to show who’s first aid card, certification, hearing test, etc., is due when. Meeting minimum OSHA requirements gets you 2’s. Exceeding minimum OSHA requirements gets you 3’s. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Analysis Of S&H Program OSHCON is taught two ways to evaluate the Safety Program: Top-Down, and Bottom-Up Analysis. Most Consultants prefer Bottom-Up Analysis because it starts with determination of hazard/no hazard, document/no document, positive response/negative response. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Bottom-Up Assessment Cultural Component: Management Leadership & Employee Participation ^ Managerial Component: Planning and Evaluation; Administration and Supervision; and Safety & Health Training ^ Operational Component: Hazard Anticipation and Detection; and Hazard Prevention and Control Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Bottom-Up Assessment This generally occurs during the physical walkthrough of the workplace. Employs primarily Observations, Measurements, and Employee Interviews Focuses on Hazards, Violations, and Program voids which are then linked to Operational Attribute(s) as negative cues. Positive cues are similarly linked to one or more Attributes. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Bottom-Up Assessment Requires Analytical thinking to link Operational cues to Managerial and Cultural Attributes. You must identify the ROOT CAUSE, or you will be missing “The Gorilla” again. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Hazard to System Linkage Tier I Analysis 1. Link the Hazard to an Operational Component Failure Tier II Analysis 2. Link the Operational Failure to a Managerial Component Failure Tier III Analysis 3. Link the Managerial Failure to a Cultural Component Failure Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Linking A Hazard to the Operational Component Hazard Found: Damaged ladder in use. Could be due to breakdown in one of the following: Att #2 Effective Inspections Att #3 Effective Surveillance of Hazard Controls Att #4 Effective Hazard Reporting Att #12 Effective S&H Rules #2 – No inspection, incomplete inspections, too infrequest inspections #3 – Workers and supervisors don’t observe hazards outside of inspection activities. Non-inspection employees don’t know what to look for. #4 – Employees don’t know how to report hazards; don’t recognize to report; or don’t care to report. #12 – No rules about using damaged ladders; have rules but too lazy to get another; Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Linking an Operational Failure to the Managerial Component ADMINISTRATIVE & SUPERVISORY SUBCOMPONENTS Assignment of Responsibility Attributes 26,27,28 Training of Responsible Person Attribute 29 Authority of Responsible Person Attribute 30 Resources of Responsible Person Attribute 31 Motivation of Responsible Person Attributes 32,33 Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

What Is The Source of the Problem (Hazard) ? (2) Inspection program exists but ladder is defective; (26) An employee is designated to inspect ladders; (27) Employee knows he is responsible for inspections; (28) Employee has been told he’s accountable for the job; (29) Employee has knowledge and skills to do effective inspections; (30) Employee has the authority to get the job done; (31) Employee has the resources available to correct; (32) Organizational policies promote the performance of his S&H responsibilities. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

OPERATIONAL COMPONENT WEAKNESS…. Attribute #33 – Organizational policies do not result in correction of non-performance of safety and health responsibilities. The company says it is tough on safety accountability but overlooks non-performance. No one has ever been disciplined. Now we look for a link to the Cultural Component. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Linking a Managerial Failure to the Cultural Component During interviews of employees and supervisors we find that: #41, “Top Management considers S&H to be a line rather than a staff function.” and #50, “There is an effective process to involve employees in safety and health issues” both score low because… Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Linking a Managerial Failure to the Cultural Component The Owner has difficulty truly relinquishing primary safety responsibilities to others. He likes to be in control. His running the company, and busy schedule are resulting in his overlooking of accountability issues. What looked so good initially in the written Policies & Procedures Manual, is only in print – not fact. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Linking a Managerial Failure to the Cultural Component Bottom-Up analysis of an individual hazard may not reveal a clear link to the Cultural Component Bottom-Up analysis of multiple hazards with common Managerial failures should provide much easier linkage to the Cultural Component. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Realistically, back on Slide #28, we may have found that in addition to the Inspections, we had issues with other Operational Component Attributes. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Effective Inspections Att #3 Effective Surveillance of Hazard Controls Hazard Found: Damaged ladder in use. Could be due to breakdown in one of the following: Att #2 Effective Inspections Att #3 Effective Surveillance of Hazard Controls Att #4 Effective Hazard Reporting Att #12 Effective S&H Rules Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Likewise, any of the other Managerial Component Attributes from Slide 30 could have been found to be inadequate or ineffective. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

What Is The Source of the Problem (Hazard)? Slide 31 (2) Inspection program exists; (26) An employee is designated to inspect ladders; (27) Employee knows he is responsible for inspections; (28) Employee has been told he’s accountable for the job; (29) Employee has knowledge and skills to do effective inspections; (30) Employee has the authority to get the job done; (31) Employee has the resources available to correct; (32) Organizational policies promote the performance of his S&H responsibilities. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Finished Product With multiple negative and positive cues for multiple Attributes, the finished analysis, if drawn on paper, might create so many Bottom-Up tracks crossing over each other that the analysis looks like one of John Madden’s confusing play diagrams, or an air traffic controller’s screen. It can get that complicated. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

Finished Product The 58 Attributes are so interrelated, that I equate them to 58 marbles in a small bowl: You can’t move one, without causing several others around it to also move. In this same manner, I have found that successful implementation of an action plan to enhance one Attribute, can indirectly result in various degrees of improvement for 2-5 other attributes. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007

The Pitch! Try the Form 33 at your workplace and see if it doesn’t help your safety program look better. If it doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. But I think it will make a difference in the way you identify program problems, and solve them more effectively. Form 33 Revised -- August 2007
