6. Goal Characteristics Relevant Short Challenging Achievable Quantified - Measurable Accountability Time Sensitive

7. Trending - Accidents / Near Misses Conduct Investigations and determine cause codes (multiple cause codes may apply to a single mishap / near miss) – populate data base Crunch data – create Pareto Chart

8. Trending - Accidents / Near Misses Investigate/analyze thoroughly to reveal reasons for these mishap causes Recommend actions for improvement

9. Goal = JHA Improvement GOAL All departments and personnel will work to improve employee hazard awareness and hazard control by striving to: develop JHAs for appropriate tasks where JHAs have not been issued, and: review and update previously issued JHAs.

10. Goal = JHA Improvement GOAL - All departments and personnel will work to improve employee hazard awareness and hazard control by striving to: develop JHAs for appropriate tasks where JHAs have not been issued, and: review and update previously issued JHAs. RelevantYes – shown to be a contributing factor in mishaps ShortNo – Needs a snappy name Challenging/ Achievable Yes – it will require real work, but we can do it. Quantified/ Measurable No AccountabilityNo – if everybody is assigned, nobody is accountable Time SensitiveNo

11. Goal = JHA Improvement GOAL – 100% JHA coverage by Christmas!” RelevantYes – shown to be a contributing factor in mishaps ShortYes Challenging/ Achievable Yes – it will require real work, but we can do it. Quantified/ Measurable Not quite – must define – 100% of what? AccountabilityNo – if everybody is assigned, nobody is accountable Time SensitiveYes

12. Goal = JHA Improvement GOAL – 100% JHA coverage by Christmas!” –Goal Leader: J. Jonah Jameson, Operations Department Director –Scope: 2010 JHA Task List RelevantYes – shown to be a contributing factor in mishaps ShortYes Challenging/ Achievable Yes – it will require real work, but we can do it. Quantified/ Measurable Yes – 100% JHA coverage for an approved list of tasks AccountabilityYes – Goal Leader assigned Time SensitiveYes

13. Basic Goal Management Key Areas to Consider and Resolve Early: Special resource needs Roles of Organizations/Personnel Quality Control – who must agree that a JHA is “complete” Internal Communications - personnel assigned to goal actions External Communications –Goal Awareness, Progress reports Management Communications (Progress Reports) –Frequency/Forum, Goal Leader Visibility “Evidence” needs

14. Objectives – Getting from Here to There Identify the basic steps needed to reach the goal Make a Plan of Action and Milestones Macro Level Steps of the POA&M = Objectives –Develop JHA Task List for each department –Evaluate alternatives, select standard JHA format –Develop/deploy JHAs For Each Objective –Assign responsibility –Set target date(s) –Establish progress reporting procedures

15. Why Objectives Are Important Structured Thinking - Face Schedule/Resource Realities –It’s like building a house Motivate action – prevent procrastination Mechanism for assessing progress –Early warning system Broadens Opportunities for Participation – Spread the Load Opportunities for Recognition/Reward/Satisfaction –Bite Sized Achievements = Sense of Accomplishment Evidence –Systematic Improvement –Employee/Management Involvement –Accountability

19. Annual Update Must Review/Update Goals at Least Annually Consider –Trends Analysis Results –Annual S&H Program Self Evaluation –Results/Status of Existing Goals Same Basic Approach Include Annual Update in Your S&HMS
