Process
-
1. Identify the Material Risk/Fatal Risk to be observed.
- Understand the material/fatal risks in your work area
- Relevant events or upcoming work must be considered as part of the planning process
- Speak to the relevant leader to understand the tasks, people and equipment
- Review supporting information CCO Pocket Card, Safe Operating Procedures
2. Validate the Critical Behaviours through asking the "three questions"
- Question 1: What are the things that can kill you?
- Question 2: What are the critical controls that keep you safe?
- Question 3: How do you know the critical controls are working effectively?
3. Observe work practices focussing on the behaviours associated with the material risk
- Check work practices and behaviours observed associated with the material risk
4. Review the observed behaviours against the material risk critical controls
- Identify any behavioural gaps between what you expected to see when you planned your CCO and what's actually happening in the field
- Commend the positive behaviours and identify any corrective actions or opportunities to improve the control's effectiveness
5. Provide feedback and action findings
- Provide feedback and thank participants. Any actions must be entered into 1SAP and the observation entered into the Field Leadership Database.
Outcomes:
- Positive behaviours reinforced
- At risk behaviours discussed and addressed
