Executive Observation Log
-
A safety observation is simply an interaction with a staff member or a small group of staff about safety. It is an opportunity to recognise and reinforce the good things our people are doing, and to talk about opportunities for improvement. Before you enter an area to conduct rounding, please check with the manager to ensure it is OK for you to do so. And provide feedback to the manager afterwards.
As you enter an area to carry out rounding, look around and ask yourself two questions:
• What do I see that pleases me?
• What do I see that concerns me?
A observation discussion should always be positive. Remember you are having these conversations because you care about the people who work here. Take the time to build rapport – this will help people feel comfortable with you and increase the likelihood they will tell you about what really happens in their workplace. -
