TSM-Transportation Safety Manager
Driver dozed off, a double deck bus slammed into a tree killing 14 passengers. A trailer ran free due to brake fail, collided into multiple vehicle down hill. These are just example of road accidents that resulted from poor management. Next question to ask is by whom?. Transportation Safety Manager-TSM is just like a safety officer in a workplace. He or she play important roles to establish safety management system in a company that has more than 50 buses or truck. Let’s see what in this course.
HSSE Compliance and Gap Analysis Audit
Having a strong, healthy and safe operation not only need effective programs and standards but it is all about compliance. In most case, one hundred percent of the workplace accident are resulted from non-conforming to procedures, instructions, guidelines, which are designed to meet a certain standards. The lowest one is health and safety laws. Breaking the laws not only leading to serious accident but it will cause legal penalties to management. In this case, jail term and heavily fine. Gap analysis is simply tell them what are not conform to the laws and what should be immediate, medium term and long term fixes.
Professional Safety Applications
Will it be so easy for a very crazily busy safety officer to be able to pull out information he or she need in just a few clicks? The answer to that question is “Wonderful”. The problem is, not many applications in the market that meet such a requirement. That is why we should be able to build it.
Management Level Safety Officer (Eng)
Senior management, middle management hold the position of rolling the wheel of PDCA on not only in business but also safety and health of the people under their watch. Something go wrong and turn to be any of these; fail to have effective/required safety programs; fail to implement the minimum standards to be fully compliant with the laws, and ignore to encourage the work force to follow safety standards. It can be your guilty. It is just a matter of how much evidence that pointing back to you. However, management roles are a lot more than do what the law said, isn’t it?
Assertive Safety Leadership Style (BBS Leadership Tools)
Being “Assertive” may not be an ordinary style of Thais. In the land of smile, Thai supervisors, managers, mostly avoid to say something when they see their subordinates are doing thing wrongly. Avoid to remind workers to wear the PPE. Avoid to remind the contractors to walk in the walkway. Keep quiet although someone cut in the line.
On the other hands, any manager or supervisor who do the other way. Reminding workers to wear the PPE correctly. Stopping the contractors not to shortcut the walk way. Telling the one who cut in the line to go back. Thais perceive it as being rude, aggressive or not a nice guy.
Most of the safety personnel use the aggressive approach to deal with unsafe acts and being hated by workers, supervisors, or even their bosses.
Assertiveness is a very important communication skill, especially where health and safety at work is involved.
Many people think that being assertive means being rude, loud and aggressive. This is not true. Being
assertive is about ‘making sure your voice is heard’, not about ‘getting your own way’. It will enable you to
clearly and persuasively explain why you feel something should be done.
