Saint-Gobain - SMAT Observation Checklist

SMAT (Safety Management Audit Tool) is a behavioural auditing tool to enhance the organisations commitment to safety, to reinforce safety practices and to eliminate unsafe acts and conditions that cause incidents and so improve the safety culture at Saint-Gobain sites. SMAT requires discussions about safety in the workplace and is designed to:-  Apply focused observation on identified high risk activities that require specific safe behaviours to ensure employees safety;  Ensure that observed unsafe acts are ceased immediately to prevent injury;  Ensure that workplace incidents are reduced by observing and reinforcing safe behaviours;  Provide positive feedback on safe behaviours that are observed;  Ask questions in order to clarify situations in which unsafe acts are occurring and listen actively in order to seek information;  Identify solutions to resolve the unsafe act and gain commitment from the employee to change their behaviour to prevent possible injury.  A SMAT is not a list of observations made during a site inspection  A SMAT must focus on one person  A SMAT is not an inspection or an audit, it is constructive dialogue based on respect and the desire to communicate positively and interactively  Actions on a SMAT must not be impractical or too wide ranging – it must be possible to carry them out in the short term
