“…Recent revisions of the International Network of Safety and Health Practitioner Organizations (INSHPO) and the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals certification requirements for OHS professionals have redefined the role of data analytics in all aspects of the safety enterprise: technological and process tools, program design, safety project management, and strategic planning for safety culture growth and competitive advantage in knowledge-rich industries. For example, The Professional Capability Framework: A Global Framework for Practice , published by INSHPO in October, 2015, states that the Professional role in OHS requires critical thinking, information gathering, communication skills, and judgement to identify and analyze complex OHS problems to generate practical evidence-based solutions.” (p. 8) Although some work on project-level data integration has been done [ 11 ], just how organizations will shift to new sources of data and shift the thinking about safety initiatives remains to be sorted out.…”

“…It is important to remember that the claims for OHS effectiveness at the level of these imagined ecosystem models need to be based on processing capabilities that go beyond, or extend, traditional channels of information and analytical skills heretofore available to many professionals, not just those in safety; and that go beyond the isolated safety project or initiative [ 11 ]. The challenge is to connect the dots so that positive safety outcomes not only persist, but improve [ 12 ].…”

This review article addresses the role of safety professionals in the diffusion strategies for predictive analytics for safety performance. The article explores the models, definitions, roles, and relationships of safety professionals in knowledge application, access, management, and leadership in safety analytics. The article addresses challenges safety professionals face when integrating safety analytics in organizational settings in four operations areas: application, technology, management, and strategy. A review of existing conventional safety data sources (safety data, internal data, external data, and context data) is briefly summarized as a baseline. For each of these data sources, the article points out how emerging analytic data sources (such as Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things) broaden and challenge the scope of work and operational roles throughout an organization. In doing so, the article defines four perspectives on the integration of predictive analytics into organizational safety practice: the programmatic perspective, the technological perspective, the sociocultural perspective, and knowledge-organization perspective. The article posits a four-level, organizational knowledge-skills-abilities matrix for analytics integration, indicating key organizational capacities needed for each area. The work shows the benefits of organizational alignment, clear stakeholder categorization, and the ability to predict future safety performance.

An efficient method for identifying the chemical hazards of exception‐handling tasks and processes derived from abnormal process conditions

Hazards that result from inappropriate exception‐handling tasks and processes performed in response to abnormal process conditions are not easily identified or cannot be identified at all, using only traditional hazard identification methods, such as normal hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies, failure mode and effects analysis, what‐if analysis, procedural HAZOP, and job safety analysis. This study thus proposes an efficient chemical hazard‐based method for identifying such potential hazards. The method comprises a checklist for identifying intrinsic chemical hazards and the exception tasks and processes which may initiate such hazards and a worksheet for performing the chemical hazard assessment of the identified exception tasks and processes. The checklist provides management with a useful tool for identifying the exception tasks and processes which may result in chemical hazards. Meanwhile, the hazard assessment worksheet provides an effective tool for evaluating the potential chemical hazards of the identified exception‐handling tasks and processes, assessing the effectiveness of existing safeguards for preventing and reducing such hazards, and drawing up additional recommendations if required. The operation of the proposed method is demonstrated through two case studies.
