Perceived areas for improvement . . .

Philippine OSH regulations penal provisions are weak. Environmental regulations are way ahead of OSH in terms of interventions.

Public awareness of Rule 1050, etc. remains a concern. . Philippine OSH Standards are not updated. Require amendments and some standards are not world class (e.g. reactive not proactive).

Why incidents should be reported and investigated?

Helps companies to anticipate potential risks and take proactive actions to manage them Standardizes risk management methodologies across business functions, business lines and geographies Automates OSH & Risk management processes Provides consistent data gathering, sharing and reporting Aggregates information for better decisiondecision-making (policy) Helps companies to see the whole risk profile.

Management of incident reports . . .

Combine the total scope of proactive and reactive Risk and OSH management in a single integrated enterprise solution: 1. 2. 3. 4. Collects information related to proactive initiatives and reactive indicators Process the information Analyse the information Communicates lessons learned and key performance indicators (KPI)

Focus of incident management. . .

GENERATIVE safety seen as a profit centre new ideas are welcomed Safety is a personal value

Defining the companys safety culture ladder (minds and hearts program)

PROACTIVE resources are available to fix things before an accident management is open but still obsessed with statistics procedures are owned by the workforce CALCULATIVE we cracked it! lots and lots of audits HSE advisers chasing statistics REACTIVE we are serious, but why dont they do what theyre told? endless discussions to re-classify accidents Safety is high on the agenda after an accident PATHOLOGICAL the lawyers/regulator said it was OK of course we have accidents, its a dangerous business sack the idiot who had the accident

What has been done? Is it enough?

OSH standard enforcement (Safety Patrol, JAO DO#13) Positive and safe behavior reinforcement (GKK, SMILE, TCCLS, etc.) Continual OSH programs that encourage privateprivatepublic partnership (ZAP, Kapatiran) Kapatiran )
