This study explored the role of energy-based safety training on the quality of the prestart meetings. Method was a multiple baseline assessment on 10 construction crews in the US and Canada following the training intervention, then measuring the prejob safety brief quality and HECA (High Energy Control Assessment). Background: · Construction accounts for about 7%… Continue reading Impact of Energy-Based Safety Training on Quality of Prejob Safety Meetings and Control of Hazardous Energy in Construction: Multiple Baseline Experiment

Moving beyond TRIR: Measuring and monitoring safety performance with high-energy control assessments
Another post on SIFs, this time the High Energy Control Assessments (HECA) from Oguz Erkal & Hallowell. Link to article below, plus to a HECA guide, and to the SIF compendium. Extracts: · HECA is “the percentage of high-energy hazards with a corresponding direct control” · HECA is binary because “every condition observation is modeled only as… Continue reading Moving beyond TRIR: Measuring and monitoring safety performance with high-energy control assessments
Compendium: SIFs, Major Hazards, Fatal & Traumatic hazards, risks
This is an expansion to my prior compendium on Critical Controls, Barriers and Energy thinking. Suggest you read that in conjunction to this, link here: Barriers, Critical Controls, Verifications, Energy Models If you’re after indicators check this mini-compendium out: Safety & Risk Performance indicators (lead, lag, drive, process safety + more) This compendium focuses on articles… Continue reading Compendium: SIFs, Major Hazards, Fatal & Traumatic hazards, risks
