14. What Is The UAW-GM Workplace Safety System?

15. 5 Core Elements

16. Plant Safety Review Board
The PSRB is one of “The Five Leadership” processes and is the cornerstone in the prevention of workplace incidents, and fatalities.  The PSRB is also the main communication pathway for the site leadership team to review the Safety and Industrial Hygiene status at the site.  The following are some explanations of some of the critical roles the PSRB plays at the site 
Team members are invited to attend the PSRB to provide feedback. The best way to accomplish this is to pull 1 or 2 team members from different departments to sit in and participate in the meeting. 
Safety Stars are regularly invited to participate/ present to the PSRB

17. Safe Operating Procedures
Standardized work instructions for doing a job safely.
Includes steps to be followed, potential hazards to be controlled, etc.
Employees must be trained on the SOP before they perform the task.
An inadequate SOP can be temporary (one time use until the task is completed) or if it is a task that we know will need to be performed at some frequency and power is required to be “ON” to perform the task, there is a process to make the SOP a permanent document
A permanent SOP requires approval/review as per site policy
Purpose: To eliminate confusion and provide clear, specific guidance about how to safely perform work. SOP’s are written when an assigned task is either High Risk or Non-routine.
Requirements:
􀂃 Plant Managers are responsible for ensuring that SOPs 1) contain current information, and 2) are exclusively and consistently used.
􀂃 SOPs must be posted or made available in or near the area where the task is performed.
􀂃 Any employee assigned to perform a task documented in an SOP must be trained using the SOP prior to beginning the task.
􀂃 Any employee found working out of compliance to an SOP must immediately be approached and receive feedback.
􀂃 All SOPs should be based around a suitable risk assessment.
Considerations
􀂃 SOPs should be created/maintained by supervisors and workers with input from subject matter experts—usually employees who know the safest way to perform the task. Sometimes it may be necessary to involve additional technical experts.
􀂃 SOPs should be validated and approved by leadership before being posted/implemented.
􀂃 SOPs should be as visual as possible, including colors and photographs or diagrams where appropriate.
􀂃 Following an incident, where applicable the SOP/ risk assessment should be reviewed in conjunction with the incident investigation.

18. Employee Safety Concern Process
The Employee Safety Concerns Process is a system based on the premise that safety is a shared responsibility. It is designed to identify, investigate and resolve safety concerns brought forth by team members. (Refer to Doc. 7 of the 2015 UAW-GM National Agreement)
Helps reduce injuries
Demonstrates the “I Care” message
Raises team member awareness of safety
Helps ensure prompt resolution of safety concerns
All concerns are to be recorded and monitored on the “Employee Safety Concerns Tracking Sheet” and posted in the teams’ work area.

19. UAW-GM Employee Safety Concern Flowchart

20. How Does the Employee Safety Concern Process Work?
Team Member presents safety concern to Group Leader.
Group Leader documents it on the tracking sheet on the Level 4/5 Board including brief description of the concern, date identified, who submitted the concern, column location, & target date to resolve.
Group Leader attempts to address immediately if possible or at least within 7 days.
If Group Leader is able to resolve the concern, he/she documents what action was taken on the tracking sheet and the date completed.

21. How Does the Employee Safety Concern Process Work?
If the Employee Safety Concern is not resolved at the team level after 7 days, then what?
If the concern is not resolved after 7 days, it is escalated to the Level 3 BPD Board
Area Leader will review at the area daily operation meeting
Area Leader will assign a champion to resolve the concern and assigns a priority level to the concern
Needs immediate action
Hazard exists-7-30 day resolution
Undetermined condition

22. How Does the Employee Safety Concern Process Work?
The assigned Health and Safety Representative investigates the concern and consults with other resources as needed (Engineering, Ergonomics, Safety, Industrial Hygiene, etc.). If the Health and Safety Representative finds resolution to the concern, that information is provided to the Group Leader, who then discusses with the team member and documents closure on the tracking sheet.

23. How Does the Employee Safety Concern Process Work?
If the Employee Safety Concern is not resolved after 30 days, then what?
If the concern is not resolved after 30 days, the Area Leader escalates it to the Plant Safety Review Board (PSRB) Meeting
The PSRB will either recommend actions to resolve the concern or will monitor the concern until closure
The Level 3 tracking sheet is updated accordingly and the status is communicated to the team member by the Group Leader
When the concern is closed, it is reviewed and closure documented per the tracker

24. How Does the Employee Safety Concern Process Work?
The Safety Star plays an important role in the Employee Safety Concern Process
Encourage team members to utilize the process
Assist the Group Leader with the tracking and resolution of concerns
Discuss new safety concerns or the status of open concerns at the Team Meeting
Help communicate updates or closure of concerns to other shifts and team members

25. Safety Observation/Conversation Tours
SOT’s/SCT’s are a way to gauge the effectiveness of our overall Safety Program:
Is Safety a priority for the team?
Are SOTs/SCT’s being conducted weekly?
Are team members engaged in the process?
Should engage team members in conversation.
An effective SOT/SCT involves more than just a checklist:
Focus equally on positive and negative findings
Are findings documented and open items closed in a timely manner?
Or, are the same issues documented again and again and never resolved?
The Safety Star should be actively engaged in the process, assisting with the tracking and closure of items
The reasons we conduct Safety Observation Tours are:
To reduce the number of accidents
To promote safe conduct in the work place
To heighten awareness of safety aspects
To set up standards for work safety
To confirm understanding of standards
To check implementation of standards
To recognize dangerous conditions
To recognize weak points in the safety system
To recognize and improve unsafe work situations
Safety tours are to be conducted weekly within your Group. Attendees for the tour should include the Group Leader, District Committee Person, and Safety Star. The tour may also include Shift Leader, Safety Team and other personnel as necessary.

26. Safety Incident Investigation
Encourage Team members to report injuries when they happen.
Waiting to report and get treatment for a small cut may result in an infection that could have been avoided if reported and promptly treated.
Team members must also report
Near Misses: These incidents are (“close calls”) but had conditions/circumstances been different, injuries could have occurred (stack of material racks topples over, pipe hanger falls from ceiling in an unoccupied area, etc.)
Sentinel Event: Any work related injury, property damage, near miss or unsafe act/condition that has the potential to result in death.

27. Safety Incident Investigation
The Incident Investigation should answer questions:
How did it happen?
Why did it happen?
What was the root cause?
Answers to these questions can be used to develop corrective actions based on the “UAW-GM Hierarchy of Safety Controls”
Elimination or substitution
Engineering change (installing guardrail, light screen, etc.)
Warnings (signs, strobe lights, warning horns/alarms, etc.)
Administrative controls (such as job rotation due an Ergonomic stressor)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
As a Safety Star, you are familiar with the jobs in your team and can play a vital role in assisting the Local Joint Health and Safety team in the investigation of the incidents in your area, help determine root causes, suggest effective corrective actions, communicate incidents and corrective actions to other team members and shifts, and assist with the follow up to ensure those corrective actions are implemented.

28. Basic Concepts

29. Safe Work Zone
This technique is a quick visual that reminds all individuals that we have a Safe Work Zone that moves us as we work and perform task. It is a quick way for hazard recognition and the six ways that hazardous energies and hazardous motions can interact with an individual’s SWZ. All preplanning work with employees shall account for these dynamics shown in the diagram below )

30. Pre-Task Planning Process
The Pre-Task Planning Process requires involvement of both the Group Leader and the Team Members who will actually be performing the task. The discussion should focus on the job to be performed, the potential hazards associated with the task, and how those hazards will either be eliminated or controlled.
We also have a documented Pre-Task Planning Process and cards that can be used to help recognize and control hazards for both operator and skilled trades tasks.
These cards and this process are intended more for non-cyclic, non-routine, or High Risk/Low Frequency type tasks
The cards are meant to be a user friendly tool

31. BPD Information Update your safety BPD information daily
Review open Employee Safety Concerns and escalate as necessary
Ensure communication and closure of safety observation tour items
