, QUESTION 1
The process of gathering information for safety performance measurement is
crucial for understanding and improving an organization’s health and safety status.
According to SANS (ISO) 45001 (2018:19), the evaluation of an SMS involves
systematic collection and analysis of data to ensure continuous improvement and
compliance with safety standards.
Direct Observation of Workplace Conditions and Employee Behavior
One of the primary methods of gathering information is through direct observation.
This involves safety officers or designated personnel observing the physical
conditions of the workplace and the behavior of employees. Observations focus on
identifying potential hazards, unsafe practices, and compliance with established
safety procedures. This method provides real-time insights into the practical
implementation of the safety management system (SMS) and helps identify areas
requiring immediate corrective actions. Regular and systematic observations
ensure that any deviations from safety protocols are promptly addressed, fostering
a safer working environment.
Communication to Extract Facts and Experiences
Communication plays a vital role in measuring safety performance. This process
involves engaging with employees to gather their inputs, views, and opinions
regarding safety practices. Methods such as surveys, interviews, and focus group
discussions can be employed to collect qualitative data. These interactions provide
valuable insights into the employees’ perceptions of the safety culture, their
understanding of safety procedures, and any challenges they face in adhering to
safety standards. By fostering open communication, organizations can identify
gaps in the SMS and develop strategies to address them effectively. Employee
feedback also aids in recognizing successful practices that can be reinforced and
replicated across the organization.
Inspection of Written Reports, Documentation, and Records
Another critical aspect of gathering information is the inspection of written reports,
documentation, and records. This includes reviewing incident reports, safety
audits, inspection checklists, training records, and maintenance logs. Analyzing
