Slide #2 - Primary Benefits of an Observation and Feedback Process
Background and Primary Benefit of anObservation and Feedback Process
Background
• Observation and feedback processes have been around for 30 years
• Thousands of companies in Canada, the United States and around the world have used them successfully
• Process is non-punitive
• Doesn't replace anything already doing (accident/incident investigations, inspections, training, emergency preparedness, etc.)
• Observe with permission only (no spying)
SAFETRACK Overview
Primary Benefit
• Typical injury reductions are 60-90% in 3-5 years.
Slide #3 - Secondary Benefits of an Observation and Feedback Process
Secondary Benefits of anObservation and Feedback Process
SAFETRACK Overview
1. Improve participation
2. Reduce accidental equipment damage
3. Reduce downtime
4. Reduce costs (profitable investment)
5. Improved housekeeping
6. Increase in positive reinforcement for safe behavior
7. Improved data and trending
8. Improved communications
9. More/better improvement suggestions
10.Reduction in unsafe conditions/improved ergonomics
11.Improved awareness (eyes and mind on task)
Slide #4 - The Two Types of Safe Behavior
Two types of safe behavior:
1. Prevent incident or injury in the first place.
2. Prevent incident or injury from being more severe.
SAFETRACK Overview
Slide #5 - Positive Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
SAFETRACK Overview
• On-going safe behaviors: eyes on task, body position out of the line of fire, balance, traction, grip are difficult to enforce
• Positive reinforcement works better
• Meaningful positive reinforcement requires observation (or being videotaped)

Unit #1 Conclusion
SAFETRACK Unit #1 - Introduction to Critical Behaviors
• Observing for critical behaviors is efficient
• On-going safe behaviors like Eyes On Task can be improved with positive reinforcement
• Positive Reinforcement requires observation (or being videotaped)
• Observation takes skill and effort
• Many potential benefits
• Also success factors and pitfalls

Slide #18 - Unit #2 Conclusion
Unit #2 Conclusion
• Need to plan the observation (not just walk by).
• Observation requires skill and practice
• Observation triggers the starting point for communication/feedback
• Next unit “Communication Skills” is probably the most important - it’s where the improvement comes from...

Slide #20 - Positive Correction 1
Positive Correction
• Ask, Don’t Tell
• Find Gaps
• Resistance
SAFETRACK Unit #3 - Communication Skills
Slide #21 - Positive Correction 2
Positive Correction
Q: “What’s the most important thing about resistance?
A: “The most important thing about resistance is to recognize it, and don’t get drawn into an argument.”
In most cases it’s better to ask questions instead of telling the person what to do (unless of course it is life threatening or very serious)

AGENDAHalf-Day Steering Committee Training
SAFETRACK Follow-up and On-going Improvement
Process is primarily employee driven and run i.e. management and supervision participate but no more than anyone else (e.g. one observation per month).
1. Validate data from cards• Is it accurate (are all boxes checked)?• Does it include an appreciation of likelihood and
severity (from back of card)?• Do the observations cover all areas, all shifts,
different types of work, etc.?• Overall, does it reflect what is happening?
2. Tabulate data/generate graphs• % safe all plant and by dept./area• % participating• % participating fully• patterns in at-risk behaviors• trends in at-risk behaviors
3. Interventions and recommendations• basic theory• designing interventions• tracking improvement• interventions for overall plant trends• recommendations to work group committees
4. Selection of work group committees• size and number of participants• selecting key players
5. Modify and customizing theobservation card• adding new critical behaviors• deleting critical behaviors• company logo on cards
6. Promotion and publicity• discussing trends at safety meetings• posting graphs and reports• posters• newsletters• recognizing participants who made extra efforts• organizing celebrations for milestones achieved
7. Developing and recognizing champions• achievement oriented• accessible to everyone
8. Orienting new employees andtraining new observers• explaining process and reasons to new
employees• organizing and delivering training to new
volunteers
