INERCO Risk Prevention has developed a program, Total Safety Engagement (TSE), which represents a new approach to safety management, aimed at achieving sustained excellence, i.e., reducing unsafe acts, incidents, near misses, and therefore workplace accidents and the risk of catastrophic accidents.
TSE is based on commitment, participation, individual and collective care, and risk reduction, always under the principle of learning by doing.
The primary values and objectives of the TSE program are as follows:
- Determine the current value of the Safety Culture within the group, identifying the main levers and barriers to its improvement and comparing it with the desired objective, defining an Action Plan and periodically reevaluating the effectiveness of the program.
- Implement Total Safety Engagement, which relies on the participation of workers from natural work teams, increasing the sense of belonging and ownership of safety, with improved transparency and communication, promoting commitment to safety throughout the workforce.
- Align the challenges and objectives of the work teams with those established by Management, with an orderly and participatory challenge deployment model.
- Achieve an effective reduction in risks, particularly for activities or tasks that may cause loss or damage, by training workers in hazard detection and risk assessment and in identifying actions to eliminate or mitigate them, including measures to mitigate the relevance of the Human Factor.
- Extend improvements in safety management to Contractors based on TSE principles, creating a sense of shared ownership.
In addition, the implementation of the TSE program will bring with it the achievement of a series of secondary objectives that are by no means insignificant, such as:
- Improve the working environment.
- Identify environmental improvements in terms of water, waste, and emissions.
- Generate significant cost reductions associated with safety improvement initiatives through better planning, reduced consumption or waste, etc.
- Have the option of extending the model to contractors and service providers.
- Have the organization adapted to address other participation models aimed at improving productivity, costs, quality, etc.
