Why you should report safety concerns (Part 1)
Hicavertonians,
It’s s0 glad being able to connect with you all ence again. We are:
Already into 2020, and for most of us with lofty goals for the year. i's
abouttimewe tock ourselves seriously and hitthe ground running,
Today, 'd like us to consider an essential issue regarding safety
reporting carefully While this may not be strange to most of us. we
‘expect that when you are through reading, you will be inspired to
participate more actively in the organization's safety dive. of which
safety reporting forms. cardinalbedrock.
Not too long ago, we received a verbal complaint regarding the
likelihood of someone getting injured when entering into our Ikeja
aircraft hangar because ofthe way the entrance doors designed. The
‘complainant even went further to suggest what can be done to
prevent an accupational incident fram happening, | was particularly
glad receiving this feedback because it shows how alert we are to
spotting a common workalace hazard.
However. when | informed him of the need also torepert what he has:
seen in PRISM, he answered affirmatively. Doubtless, that never
happenedt
The event | just described is not an isolated case. Time and again,
relating with colleagues, we had witnessed similar responses when
personnel | told to lodge safety concerns in PRISM. The reasons
adduced for not wanting to submit safety concerns formally ae as
varied as the numbers of staff that were asked! A few of responses
received are 2¢ follow."I don't want to be seen as reporting anyone's"
cdo not have PRISM log-in details: “others should have seen it and
reported it" have seen people come uncier fre by the superior for
reporting events ‘my manager/superisor as requested we get
Clearance fst from him before putting incicients/concerns in PRISM
and we can go en and on. Although these reasons lack fact and
‘material evidence. it has become “gospel truth” in people's minds,
‘making some staffnot amenable to change.
Nonetheless, f personnel ate well Informed about the benefits of
safely reports, we positive that the desired paradigm change will
‘occur Below are some of the benefits of formally reporting safety
Report incidents (minor ones especially) helps prevent serious
incidents fromhappening
When hazards are identifed and promptly reported. you are not only
a conscientious staff you are also helping to prevent serious events
from happening, whieh may result in massive property damage,
injury to persons. or in a far worse scenario, fatality By giving ‘public
visibility’ to your observations through PRISM or Safety cards you will
be changing a whole lotthanyau can imagine,
‘More Reports meanmore data te analyse:
‘Aviator neicients or accidents are rate, But when they deceur. it maycont Safety Pune
sometimes be fatal Hence, mest airlines especially those with good safety records eles heavily on a proactive and predictive approach to safety
Thus. they harvest and crunch extensive peo! safety data, which they analyze ticientify significant patterns and trends. This way. they can identity
weaknesses and strengthen safety barriers well ahead of time. When you resolve to file every safety concerns you notice, you will be positively
contributing othisimportantdrve
