Phase 1 – Safety Culture and IBC’s

The RPM Tool works with clients in this phase to identify some examples of good safety behaviour and practices that exist within the organization and contribute to a healthy safety culture, and good identification and application of interventions, barriers and controls to effectively identify, or reduce risk within the organization.

This is not intended to be an exhaustive process, or list, rather a high level assessment of where the organization is in relation to having some of these good practices.

These practices will be identified at a general and high level to help the organization understand where it is demonstrating some of these good behaviours, and practices, and where their safety program may need to focus to improve them. For more information on safety programs see the CCOHS overview of safety program basic requirements.

The client will also be required to identify where they believe key gaps exist in safety culture, and where aspects of the above best practices may be lacking, or need improvement.

Improvements Register

An improvements register is in place to capture suggestions, ideas, and areas of improvement throughout the process and is available in any of the phases of the RPM Tools workflow, and is exported along with the hazard and risk data in Phase 3 should the organization which to create an excel version of the key outputs of the RPM Tool

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs: Group discussion and assessment of best practices and areas of improvement

Outputs: Ideally clients will identify key areas that exhibit best practice, and areas that need improvement (example below), and may add items to the improvements register for consideration as the process continues.
