Establishing of Participation Maturity System in Safety Management by Using Safety Culture Maturity Model through Targeted Hazard Identification System (THIS) Technique
Abstract
Current study aimed at establishing and improving participation maturity system based on safety culture of maturity model through Targeted Hazard Identification System (THIS) technique in safety management system conducted an intervention in rolling industry. The present study was carried out as a case study in a rolling company from 2012-2015, composed of 72 participants. Firstly, participation status was specified using a formulated questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha=0.79). Safety culture maturity model was used in order to establish safety participation model and improve participation maturity system. These steps include ground making for establishment of participation system, participation at management level, individual involvement, group participation, and finally continuous improvement of participation system. In order to develop individual involvement, THIS technique was run. Following implementing interventions for improvement of participation maturity system in three-year period, participation level was reinvestigated. Initial mean score of workers’ participation was 26.94, while optimal score of participation is 30, and supports interventions. Mean score of participation after interventions and establishment of safety participation system was 34.06 which was a bit higher than expected average. Although workers’ participation in safety management system is away from ideal maximum, essential attempts are needed. Realization and achievement of participation for improvement of participation maturity are focused on investigation and identification of effective and facilitator factors in this process. To this end, planning and implementing improvement programs in structured and systematic way including training and increasing awareness of workers in workplaces and creating participatory structures and formulating instructions can be effective in participation.
