Organized. Proactive. Easy to Apply.

Target the right outcomes

Generate safety with processes

Harness the power of safety

Start by targeting an outcome that actually impacts safety

The outcome that matters in safety is your Safety Margin. A Safety Margin is the total protection and defenses we implement against risk. All safety depends on this relationship.

Employees face risk when perform their work tasks to make your product or provide your service. The only safety outcome we focus on is a strong Safety Margin that counters the risk.

Whether flying on an airliner, undergoing surgery, fighting a fire, driving a car, or performing work, safety depends on a Safety Margin that is stronger than the risk.

When all organizational levels from employees up to the CEO focus on the Safety Margin and risk as part of their decisions, safety takes root.

Safety processes that function together as a system are what generates safety

Everyone makes decisions about risk and safety. A system of safety processes generates safety. We generate safety when people make good decisions to understand risk and apply a Safety Margin.

These decisions are everywhere and happening right now:

  • Employees make decisions about risk and safety when they perform a work task.
  • Engineers make decisions about risk and safety when they design things and set up processes.
  • Supervisors make decisions about risk and safety when they coordinate work.
  • Managers make decisions about risk and safety when they facilitate operations.
  • Executives make decisions about risk and safety when they lead companies.

A system of well-functioning safety processes generates safety by influencing the decisions we make about risk. Executing them consistently can have a big impact on Safety Margins.

Here are the five categories of safety processes we help companies implement:

  • Strategy

    Select the Safety Margin as the outcome and builds towards a safety culture that is proactive, learns, and follows-through.

  • Planning

    Set goals, prepare an improvement plan, and customize safety processes to get ahead of risk.

  • Management

    When managers facilitate safety processes consistently, they generate accountability and a mindset for making safe decisions.

  • Safe System of Work

    Often the missing link, your supervisors and employees apply safety processes that achieve a Safety Margin for every work task. This Safety Margin insulates employees against injury risk.

  • Verifications

    Verification is evaluating that your people are applying their safety processes and these processes are functioning well. Continuously improving safety processes makes people better at safety.

Harness the power of safety to improve performance

Good decision-making in real-time about risk and Safety Margins becomes a powerful force. A company can harness safety to improve its overall safety performance and confidence, including:

Safer decision-making

Increase situation awareness in danger zones

High rights of safety contacts

Controlling inter-related hazards

Change work behaviors

Let’s improve how you approach safety

Hi, I’m Bryan Raughley.

Founder & Consulting Safety Manager

For the past 30 years I’ve been helping safety directors, operations managers, and executives, turn safety into a system of processes that get results.

You can implement a system of safety processes customized for your operations, hazards, and work tasks. I can show you how.

I grew interested in safety while working as a firefighter, where safety processes are critical. I earned an M.S. in Safety Management and a B.S. in Fire & Safety Engineering. I’ve been devoted to helping people make safety work inside of their companies.

I’ve worked with hundreds of people just like you, who are responsible for their employees’ safety. Setting up your team to make good decisions about risk and Safety Margins makes a big difference.

I’ve helped companies reduce workplace injuries to zero, lower workers’ comp losses 50% to 90%, increase their mean safe behavior rate to over 95%, recover confidence after bad losses, get off the OSHA SST List, and win safety awards. It just takes a system of safety processes focused on risk and Safety Margins.
