Description
In an era where more than 5,000 workplace fatalities occur annually in the U.S., the need for strong, proactive safety models has never been more urgent. This session will introduce attendees to the NSC Serious Incident & Fatality (SIF) Prevention Model, a comprehensive framework designed to mitigate life altering workplace incidents by addressing both technical and behavioral risk factors.
Participants will be guided through the model's six-step Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) process, which includes assessing organizational capacity, identifying hazards, implementing and verifying controls, and driving continuous improvement. Emphasizing real-world applications, this session will also highlight best practices and lessons learned from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large organizations that have piloted the model. Participants will learn about the critical gap revealed by NSC's recent survey: the lack of formal processes for ranking risks, reporting near misses, and evaluating control effectiveness.
By the end of the session, participants will leave with practical tools and strategies to customize the SIF model for their own workplaces, ensuring its effective integration into their safety management systems.
