An
effective Health and Safety Program costs significantly less than the monetary
losses in incidents and injuries that otherwise will occur.
Methods used to
evaluate Safety Performance, monitor experience modifier rates (EMR's), incident
(IR) and loss time rates (LT), determine the attitude, practices and procedures
regarding safety and define the elements of a well-planned Construction Safety
Management System.
Horizon
Safety Group offers to its clients Incident Prevention Programs (IPP) and Safety Training Courses that are
tailored to each clients' specific company and/or project needs.
Incident Prevention Programs and Safety Programs
Horizon
Safety Group has developed a specific process for implementing each program into client organizations. This process is detailed in four (4) specific steps:
Management Commitment
This is the most
important element in developing an effective IPP or safety training program. These
programs must demonstrate management's enthusiasm and active support for elements
such as accountability, safety planning, budgets, required training, corrective
action planning for hazards; it will clearly identify the roles and
responsibilities of all employees and management.
Hazard Analysis
An in depth
review of the client's current policies, procedures and safety programs would be
conducted along with performing a safety performance evaluation. All tasks
(means and methods) would be identified and analyzed to ensure that all
recognized hazards are included in each IPP or safety program and are specific to the scope of
work being performed by the client.
Hazard Prevention and Control
Based on the
information gathered during the safety performance evaluation an analysis of all
incidents and injuries (trend analysis) would be conducted. With this
information along with the hazard analysis, and a review of all scopes in a
clients operation is completed; new policies, procedures and the IPP or safety program would be
developed.
Safety Training
After the
development and implementation of the IPP or safety program, specialized training for client
organizations would be developed and conducted in four (4) steps:
Senior Management
This course would
identify the roles and responsibilities for management in the program including;
auditing practices, active participation, it would also demonstrate how the
success of the IPP or safety training program would be directly related to their visible priority to
safety.
Middle Management

identify the roles, responsibilities and how to carry out senior managements
priorities to maintain a successful IPP or safety program. The course would also review
techniques to partner with and support supervision in carrying out their direct
responsibilities to employees.
Supervision
This course would
demonstrate the importance of the IPP or safety training and provide tools to utilize while
planning or directly overseeing task associated with any scope of work. The
course would provide resources to use while supervising employee safety, how to
identify hazards, communication, employee training, understanding employee
behavior, incident investigation, and how to motivate employee participation in
the program.

the specifics of the IPP or safety program including the roles and responsibilities of each
employee in addition to the policies, procedures, requirements, means and
methods of the client. The course would provide tools to utilize while
pre-planning their scope of work, also techniques that could
be used to avoid incidents and injuries to themselves or other workers.
