  1. Safety and Health Learning Alliance Gerry Schumann Mike Lipka

  2. Partnering with Outside Safety & OH Orgs

  3. SHLA Initial Organizations ARC Firefighting Skills Training at Moffett Airfield • American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics • American Institute of Chemical Engineers • Defense Logistics Agency • Los Alamos National Labs • National Transportation Safety Board • Office of the Secretary of Defense • US Air Force • US Marines • US Navy

  4. SHLA- Guidelines for Events • Quarterly virtual webinars on Safety and Health topics • Format: Panel session of 1-3 organizations sharing their experience on the selected topic • 3-5 slides • Video/audio taped • 1-1.5 hours • Participating organizations will be encouraged to tell their “stories” • Participating organizations will push out invitations through their internal communication channels • NSC will coordinate events, communications and knowledge sharing

  5. SHLA- Guidelines for Sharing Knowledge • No SBU/Secret/Classified information • Examine topics of mutual interest, with long range goal of addressing specific areas • Flight safety • Hazardous chemicals • Maintain scope of government, defense, and professional organizations • NSC will host a website to manage event sign up, communications, and solicit participation for events • NSC will manage an online community of practice to store presentations, videos and members list

  6. Potential Topics for SHLA • How do other agencies handle the risk assessment process? How risk is quantified, who assesses, who accepts? Is there a concept of equivalency (two failure tolerance vs. reliability)? How much additional risk can be accepted above standard background or normal for that industry? • How do you determine when it’s safe for humans to be involved? Similar to human rating for space vehicles, could be applied to any facility or dangerous operations, could include Medical Review Boards for humans as test subjects.

  7. Potential Topics for SHLA • Waiver Process- How do you assure equal safety or health? What is your process of determining equivalency, or how much additional risk is OK? • How do you assess and maintain a safety culture? • What are your organization’s mandatory requirements/standards?  How do you determine which ones are mandatory?  Are they ever waivered? • What is your governance structure? How are your Safety and Health organizations funded? How are they organized? • Explain your mishap investigative process. What process do you use to assure that you get to “Root Cause”?

  8. Potential Topics for SHLA • Do you have any kind of Independent Assessment capability or organization that all groups can turn to when they need special help? • What is your Safety and Health training process? • Is there a hard and fast rule for percent of budget devoted to Safety and Health? • What is your process for handling “dissenting opinions”? How do you encourage them? Is someone designated to be a “devil’s advocate” to represent the “water cooler talk” at your agency’s readiness review process?

  9. Potential Topics for SHLA • How is safety and health performance tied to employee performance and evaluation in your agency? • Describe your agency’s facility readiness review process. What is your checklist to clear a facility for occupants? • Describe your agency’s procedures for assuring the proper abandonment in place of excess facilities? Meaning no hazards to your people or the environment. • How low do you think mishaps rates can go before they have bottomed out? Can you ever build a culture of zero mishaps?

  10. Potential Topics for SHLA How much variance (%) above normal mishap rate or incident rate do you use to say you have a problem? Discuss some highly successful or well attended Safety and Health Day subjects, methods, displays, that appeared to hit the mark, reach the audience, commanded their attention, etc. Do you have any OSHA approved Alternate of Supplemental Standards ( per 29CFR 1960)? Discuss your process of development and your process to gain OSHA approval. How do you use leading indicators in defining mishap issues?
