Safety Regression

Why Regression Occurs in Safety – How to Fix it

Like top athletes, even high-performing companies can hit a slump. Things seem smooth, then suddenly, we wonder, “What’s happening?” At The SRI Group™, we’ve worked with hundreds of global clients. Over 30% of them were top performers, but faced stagnation or decline. In this article, we’ll explore common reasons for safety performance regression and strategies to regain desired results.
There are a number of factors which can lead to increased incidents or loss. In our work with top quartile performers we have identified five factors which often contribute to this safety performance regression:

• Forgetting the basics
• Poorly managed change
• Program overload
• Over-reliance on credentials and procedures
• Managing result versus processes

Stop HSE Regression

The Structured Safety Process (SSP) is the proven best practice to halt safety regression in its tracks.
