Posted By Dee I am interested to seek other views on novel/proven ways to ensure management action points on HSE. The buy in is there and the want to improve evident but moving that from saying things are going to be done to actually doing these things are two different areas. I am aware of financially-linked objectives or bonus being dependent on HSE performance/indicators however I was interested to see what other things fellow professionals have used or know works. Appreciate your thoughts - Dee

Posted By John P W Dee Why not use a workplace inspection campaign that assesses each managers work areas of responsibility, give them scores and have a league table that is then discussed at each weekly management meeting High scores awarded for low numbers of action points identified and high scores awarded for fast and effective close out. The meeting can be used to praise the good performers and to encourage those who are not closing out actions fast enough to improve. You normally find that when pitted against their peers in competition most managers will raise their game. You could add departmental awards to raise the profile and encourage everyone to become involved (buy in). First off though get senior management buy in and support, otherwise it will fall flat on its face. John

Posted By Dave Wilson Dee, I know you are looking for other ideas, the ONLY motivator for bosses and anyone is MONEY and it works, however do not use the accident stats as the barometer in any way. Once you can get the powers taht be to include a MANDATORY KPI/KRA related to safety and it is enforced than after a couple of years it then becomes a Management Habit and is accepted by all, well it worked for me!
