1. 7 Variable Model to Manage Things Collider-Accelerator Department 1-5-2010 Take 5 for Safety

2. 7 Variable Model to Manage Things  5 Independent Variables (safety example)  Management commitment  Accountability from Director down to and including individual workers  Workforce* involvement in safety activities and training  Safety systems, procedures and practices  Safety organization and safety specialists  2 Dependent variables  Safe equipment  Safety-aware workforce  Above model can be applied to manage other things:  Insert quality, housekeeping, security, etc. for safety *managers, supervisors and workers 2

3. 7 Variable Model to Manage Things  Four variables are less important (safety example)  Workplaces that appear to have safe equipment and facilities, good safety systems, and plenty of safety experts have mediocre safety records  Three variables are fundamental and they compel excellence  Management commitment of resources and people to achieve injury-free workplace  Accountability for achieving injury-free workplace  Workforce involvement  Difficult to measure and assess these three fundamental variables but certain behaviors alert you to their presence, examples:  Managers, supervisors and workers perform workplace safety observations  Workers are held accountable for following safety rules*  Managers and supervisors are held accountable for injury-rate results  All members of workforce are involved in a safety activity beyond their normal job *Fortunately, only a small portion of unsafe behaviors are done deliberately with the actions and consequences intended (e.g. criminal activity, substance abuse, reckless noncompliance, sabotage, etc.), which require disciplinary action of appropriate severity. Otherwise, C-AD uses the Just Culture method to assign blame. 3

4. Managing Housekeeping at C-AD  OPM 1.7.1, C-AD Housekeeping Policy  Defines roles and responsibilities of C-AD and F&O  Defines housekeeping practices  Lists common housekeeping problems at C-AD  BNL has provided housekeeping checklists  However, housekeeping is not excellent at C-AD:  Building 1101 is an unattractive place  Building 918 has too much material in storage; leftover lengths of cable  C-AD is giving storage space away to NSLS II  Clean-up of some work areas is not occurring at the end of each day  Aisle ways and electrical panels occasionally blocked  High storage on top of cabinets; tie wraps on floor, offices messy …  Which variable still needs work?  Resource commitment by managers, accountability, or workforce participation? 4
