  Safety Management Systems are a key component of ensuring effective control of requirements, mitigation of hazards and risks and protection of workers, the public and the environment. The last twenty years has seen a tremendous uptake of formalized systems and the creation of various standards for management systems across industries. This session will explore the components of safety management systems, key processes, and tools to ensure they are fit for purpose, adequate and effective within a specific organization.

• Session 4. Introduction to Energy-Based Safety & Hazard Identification – Ramsey Robertson (President, Triad Solutions Consulting, Houston)

  Most of the hazard recognition and mitigation occurs on a task level, which typically places a focus on experience and procedures to determine hazards and controls (e.g. Job Hazard Analysis). This session will showcase how Energy-based Safety improves the effectiveness and efficiency of hazard recognition, hazard prioritization, and hazard control. By integrating the concepts of energy, high-energy, and controls into planning, monitoring, classification, and learning, the participants will be able to deploy an approach to hazard recognition and mitigation that is based on the most up-to-date scientific research and emerging best practices.

• Session 6. Contractor Management Essentials – John Kirwin (Safety Director, Bannister Pipelines, Toronto)

  A successful safety management program is dependent on a comprehensive contractual relationship between the contractor and the client, and between the contractor and its subcontractors. Taken in a Part A and Part B sequence, this session will delve into the basics of contracting through a “safety-focused” lens. We will explore the critical components of this contractual relationship including senior management commitment, various types of contracts, incentives and penalties, performance measurement metrics, client expectations, roles and responsibilities, obligations, and accountabilities. We will examine the importance of the prequalification process, pre-project/kick-off meetings, contractor and client inspections and monitoring and post-job evaluations. We will also explore some the unique challenges of safety accountability and responsibility within the owner/contractor scenario.

• Session 7. High Performance Safety Metrics – Dr. Elif Erkal (Senior Associate, Exponent, Oakland)

  We cannot manage what we cannot measure. The success of any safety management system heavily depends on the quality of metrics it measures to evaluate safety performance. Traditionally, the industries use incident rates that only capture the counts of incidents as their main method of safety performance measurement. However, recently both industry and academia concur that recordable injury rates are too limited in their capacity to facilitate robust safety performance measurements to inform safety decision-making and predictions. This session explores the limitations of injury rates and presents new and improved strategies that could help improve safety performance measurements. The students will get to explore the different strengths and limitations of various safety measurement methods and will be encouraged to think of balanced approaches.

This session will equip learners on how to use the first of its kind scientifically validated tool to measure the quality of these safety meetings. These quality-measuring tools are designed to support crews by providing them clear guidance on expectations and targeted avenues of continual improvements. Learners will be able to use these tools as inspiration to measure the quality of other leading indicators within their safety program.

• Session 9. Significant Injury and Fatality Event Precursor Analysis – Dr. Siddharth Bhandari (Associate Dire-ctor of Research, Construction Safety Research Alliance (CSRA), Boulder)

• Learn what are the unique differentiators of serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) and how these events can be prevented. This session focuses on giving a definition for serious injuries, sharing findings on which, if any, factors predict serious injuries and fatalities vs. low-severity injuries, and considers how we can prevent these serious injuries by identifying the warning signs of SIF events before they occur through a brief but targeted field safety engagement. This session will equip learners with knowledge on how to better classify seriousness of any injury, understand and identify warning signs that can lead to those negative events, and utilize targeted responses to mitigate the risks.

• Session 10. Human Factors Essentials – Mike Quashne (Manager, Business Transformation and Performance Assessment, Baltimore Gas and Electric, Baltimore)

• This session will present the models and approaches to human behavior and human error that have influenced safety management from the Industrial Revolution through today. The benefits and drawbacks of each approach will be discussed and compared within a safety context. The session will place a specific focus on contemporary approaches to human behavior in safety including Behavior Based Safety and Human & Organizational Performance. At the end of the session, students will recognize the major approaches to human factors and human error through three eras of safety management and be able to discuss the pros and cons of each. Students will also be able to compare and contrast Behavior Based Safety and Human & Organizational Performance and make a judgement about the merits of each.

  This session will cover the basics of designing, delivering, and managing safety training programs. A brief introduction to learning theory will be given, followed by discussions around best practices for teaching and learning in the context of construction safety. At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to create student-centered safety training modules for front-line adult workers.

  This session will provide a retrospective of the program, Tying it all Together. Then, after some basic instruction on the Competing Values Model, organizational governance (Boards), ESG, and Enterprise Risk Management, learners will explore key success factors for the safety function supporting operational, organizational, and ultimately Board levels. To wrap up, there will be one last guest speaker. Jim Spigener (Chief Client Officer for DEKRA North America) is an authority in safety leadership and executive safety coaching. He will take 1.5 hours to share his experiences on Best Practices for safety managers advising operational, business, and governance (Board) leaders on safety risks and performance. His Q&A session will be a capstone for some of the best professional and career advice you’ll hear as you prepare to leave your Advanced Safety Management course!
