Overview

  • Scoring of Operational Safety Practices Safety Reviews

    The goal is to have every location continually apply the Operational Safety Practices, so that we have the highest levels of safety in the industry.

    1. Agree what the best practices are - we have done this, they are as detailed in the OSP Manual.
    2. Clearly communicate these best practices to every manager, supervisor, trainer and leader in the operations - This we have done, all have a copy of the OSP manual.
    3. Challenge location leaders to follow these best practices. This has been communicated in the roll out meetings led by the AGM's.
    4. Review that each location is following these practice on an on-going basis. Regular reviews will take place to ensure that each location is following these Operational Safety Practices. Compliance and lack of compliance will be scored for each required practice. A 10 means 100% compliant a zero means zero compliance.
    5. Continuous Improvement - any areas identified as not being 100% compliant will be recognized and a plan determined and implemented to achieve 100% compliance.

    These five steps effected at every location will enable STI to operate the safest practices at every location protecting the students we transport, our drivers and the public.

    This guide explains the subjects to be reviewed and how both compliant and non compliant will be scored.

    The Five Sections
    Each of the five sections will be scored independently, and first 3 sections will be weighted 2x for the Final overall score. For example:
