Review Question 25

 

 

 

If discipline occurs immediately after an accident occurs, what basic process flaw exists?

 

 

 

A. Blame is based on fact, not feeling

B. The process places blame before
considering safety program weaknesses

That's Wrong. Try Again!

The correct answer is, B. The process places blame before considering safety program weaknesses. In most cases people get hurt at work as the final effect of one or more safety management system weaknesses. The system needs to be thorough evaluated before the question of discipline can be addressed. That takes time. You can bet that if discipline occurs soon after an accident, safety management program evaluation is not being adequately conducted.

C. The process determines system flaws
before considering personal liability

D. The process neglects to place initial blame.
