Although a
customised, simple to read software training manual comprised mainly of
screen captures is provided with the purchase of each read/write license,
some people prefer the one on one training in the programme's use. KIS
Safety can provide this individual training and recommend that for every
administrator trained there should be a second person trained as a back up
for the system's continuance. This training can take as little as 4 hours
depending on the computer literacy of the individual. We recommend no more
than 2 people to a training session in this area due to individuals varied
rates of learning. Click here to read more.
We have found that in recent
case studies that less than 20% of people within an organisation have been
exposed to writing a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) or Job Safety Analysis
(JSA). This figure also applies to people having seen a JHA or JSA. To
overcome this problem and to raise awareness in the benefits of carrying
out a JHA prior to a task commencing, we have developed a 4 hour training
course to introduce your workforce as to the why, what, when and how in
JHA writing. The feedback from the courses held to date has been extremely
positive and comments such as "best course I have ever been on"; "now I
fully understand what people are talking about"; "it makes a lot of sense
when you think about it" have been received from the participants. The
course is designed around the KIS JHA programme and it is held on your
premises or your choice of venue with groups of no less than 5 and no more
then 25. Click here to read more.
One of the
major criticism's levelled at businesses today is that whilst a company
may have procedures in place there has been no in-depth analysis of the
tasks being carried out to provide the base from which the procedures have
been written. Some businesses are operating with procedures copied from
other organisations and under close examination bear no relevance to the
equipment or environment in the current place of business. In sites where
the KIS Safety System has been introduced, procedures had already been
compiled over many years of operations. For the KIS Safety System to work
effectively it requires a well structured JHA with a logical flow of the
steps carried out within the task, the hazards encountered in each of the
steps, a hazard risk ranking, the controls identified to eliminate or
minimise the hazard and a final risk ranking with the controls in place as
the base document. It is from this base document that all other documents
and reports are generated. To achieve this in most cases the existing
procedure has to be written backwards i.e. the existing procedure's steps
listed and from the actions or controls the hazards identified. In doing
this it saves the business from having to re-write all the tasks from
scratch, saves valuable time and recognises previous knowledge relating to
the procedures compilation. In this way we facilitate in the knowledge
management retention of the organisation.
In today's
modern businesses it is difficult to find time to carry out the above, so
to overcome this KIS Safety can provide your company with a Procedures to
JHA input service where the initial JHA is drafted from your existing
procedures, returned to your people for review and corrections and then in
final draft submitted for sign off. It is interesting to note that one of
the outcomes in this exercise is that it provides management with an
overview of current work practices and areas where additional training may
be required e.g. controls in place not implemented.
