How the US Commercial Nuclear Power Industry has achieved a working environment that is almost 41 times safer than the US national average.
Chester, VT (PRWEB) December 11, 2007 -- A Special Report has just been released that provides details on specific tools and strategies used at US commercial nuclear power plants to achieve occupational injury and accident rates that are 97.55 percent lower than the national average for all industries.
"These are the same tools and strategies we used to lower the incidence of human error by 87.5 percent over a 30-month period," cited Tim Autrey, CEO of The Practicing Perfection Institute, Inc.
The Special Report, "Beyond Behavior-Based Safety: Taking Safety Performance to the Next Level," tells the story of how a holistic approach was used to achieve an eight-fold reduction in human error.
"Consider this," continues Tim Autrey, "statistics show that (1) as many as 95 percent of all injuries and accidents can be attributed (at least in part) to human error, and (2) that 84 to 94 percent of all human error can be directly attributed to process, programmatic, and organizational issues. What this means is that any 'program' that simply focuses on worker behavior at the point of contact will never get you where you want to go. You've got to address the whole picture."
How should an organization, or a safety professional within an organization go about 'addressing the whole picture'? The Special Report, available for free download, provides the details in the form of a case study, revealing exactly how it was achieved in US Commercial Nuclear Power (and how it is now being achieved in other industries, helped by the efforts of the Practicing Perfection Institute, Inc. (PPI)).
"Human error will never be eradicated," continues Autrey, "but it can be lowered to very low levels. An entire industry has proven this to be true, and the stats have made it obvious -- lower the incidence of human error, and you have fewer people getting hurt on the job."
