Safety Capability Building to Improve Safety Benchmarking

Introduction to Safety Capability Building article

Capability is the capacity to realize individual and Organisational goals in a sustainable way through the development of people. It focuses on people’s confidence and emotional intelligence in applying the knowledge, skills, attributes and behaviours in a range of contexts within an organisation.

In the safety field for manufacturing or any type of organisations such as even schools, hospitals, any capability development program should cover following aspects

1) Technical Safety

2) Cultural Safety

3) Safety Management System

Improving Safety to zero incident goal is the real Programme for all TheSafetyMaster™ customers and contractors. It provides a common and consistent approach to improving the overall safety capability across customer organisation.

There are three main levels in the programme: 19

Beginner – an online introduction to safety improvement

Practitioner – Inhouse Course that helps you put learning into practice

Master – improvement class where your coaching supports staff doing their projects

Any Capability program or plan must focus on knowledge, skills, attributes and behaviours that enable workers to perform work safely. It includes, but is not limited to, mandatory licensing, job-specific competencies and safety leadership development. Competency focuses on the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attributes to fulfill the requirements of a particular task in the workplace. Developing skills and knowledge is just one aspect of capability development. Being able to apply those skills in different contexts, with confidence, differentiates skill and capability

Why is it important to think ahead about building improvement capability?

While there have been many thousands of people trained in improvement skills over the past decade, there is a strong sense that this has not yet translated into teams and organisations having sufficient expertise to be able to effectively achieve the scale of improvement they are seeking. All too often people who have attended training courses then seem to disappear, rather than having the opportunity and support to put what they learn into practice. It will help inhouse Safety & Risk Management
