These initiatives have not only enhanced efficiency but have also significantly bolstered safety standards within TEAM.
Transitioning Lengthy Procedures to Simplified Checklists:
CAVU’s expertise lies in identifying areas of inefficiency and streamlining processes. By working closely with TEAM, they successfully transitioned lengthy and complex procedures into simplified checklists. This transformation eliminated unnecessary steps and reduced the time required to complete tasks – improving outcomes with no increase in skill. The checklists ensure that all necessary actions are carried out systematically, minimizing the risk of oversight and error.
Integrating “Just in Time” Notes, Cautions, and Warnings:
Recognizing the importance of timely information dissemination, CAVU and TEAM incorporated “Just in Time” notes, cautions, and warnings into daily operations. By prioritizing information and presenting it to workers just ahead of the applicable job steps, workers can stay updated on critical aspects of their tasks in real-time. This integration significantly improves situational awareness, reduces the likelihood of accidents, and enables quick response to potential risks or hazards.
Replacing Traditional JSAs with “Day Specific” Point of Work Risk Assessment:
Traditional job safety analyses (JSAs) often lack specificity and fail to address the unique risks associated with job task under different environmental and human conditions. CAVU and TEAM adopted a “Day Specific” Point of Work Risk Assessment approach, tailored to the specific requirements and potential hazards of each job, each day. This comprehensive assessment ensures that workers are equipped with the necessary information and precautions, allowing them to perform their duties safely and reliably.
Instilling Post-Job Debrief Sessions:
To foster a culture of continuous improvement, CAVU and TEAM implemented post-job debrief sessions. These sessions encourage workers to reflect on completed tasks, identify areas for improvement, and share lessons learned. By prioritizing these debrief sessions, the company can proactively address any issues before they become recurrent problems, ultimately preventing future incidents, and optimizing operational effectiveness.
Results:
Zero significant incidents
TRIR 2021: 0.39
TRIR 2022: 0.18
The collaboration between CAVU and TEAM has yielded impressive results, revolutionizing daily operations and enhancing both efficiency and safety. The transition from lengthy procedures to simplified checklists, integration of “Just in Time” notes, cautions, and warnings, replacement of traditional JSAs with “Day Specific” Point of Work Risk Assessment, and instilling post-job debrief sessions have all contributed to a safer and more streamlined work environment.
