Using a "Sturdy/Quality Tree" analog, the SafeOPSystem® is a Management System that defines the principles by which a company can conduct operations with regards to health, safety, and the environment in an integrated system with these principles defining the "Trunk" of the system and ten "Major Branches" of management components attached to the model's "Trunk" to deal with your ever- changing operational and regulatory environments. Company Commitment to this System is the basis for the "Roots". The stronger and deeper the Commitment, the stronger the Tree.
The SafeOPSystem® communicates the HSE/Operations philosophy to all employees, customers, contractors, and third parties associated with our business, and each Client organization must provide positive evidence of conformance to the system.
The SafeOPSystem® model comprises ten interconnected management components (not in any particular order of importance):
Leadership, Operational Commitment and Accountability
Management Monitoring of Performance and Improvement (Metrics)
Audits and Reviews by Management
Management of Change/Document control (MOC)
Regulatory Compliance
These are continuously improved by conformance checks (Quality Circle concepts)
on daily operational standards and procedures (controls)
on the management system itself (correction)
through modifications to the management system as needed
test improvements and make changes again if warranted
This system has its uniqueness in the elements of training & education to communicate the elements in the system to the affected clients, both internally and externally in an consistent presentation format that is easily adaptable to methods of adult learning styles (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic or VAK)
This ability to learn the elements and their sub-sets of programs that make the system work is critical so that the users of the system can be a part of the development, integration and maintenance of the system in a meaningful, sustainable and efficient way.
