Effective Manuals

An effective safety manual or operating manual is fundamental to the success of a safety management system.

Signal Safety & Training Ltd., provides seminars on developing effective manuals and production of written job procedures.

The Business Need:

  • Are inadequate procedures or failure to follow procedures a significant cause of your organization's accidental loss?
  • Does your company need to reduce the amount of overhead and administrative effort needed to update procedures?
  • Do your workers have difficulty in gaining access to required information?
  • Does your company need to prevent injury to people, damage to and equipment and harm to the environment?

What does it take to work Safety?

The formula for safety is:
Safety = Knowledge x Skill x Procedures x Commitment.

  • Knowledge = Know How
  • Skills = Can Do.
  • Procedures = How to
  • Commitment = Will Do

Effective manuals and procedures provide the "How to". If manuals and procedures are effective, they can be used as a training tool which leads to the "Know How" & "Can Do". Effective manuals and procedures provide easy access to the information workers need to work safely. This builds confidence and leads to commitment.

What is a Critical Task?

A task may be a critical task if:

  • When the task is not done properly, it can result in a major loss while it is being performed.
  • When the task is not done properly, it can result in major loss after having been performed.
  • The loss has a major severity.
  • The probability of the loss is high.
