Health & System Safety Management

BioEchoes’ engineering and litigation experience in automotive crashworthiness litigation provides unique insider insights into the safety management of the auto industry. These insights can be leveraged to create proactive system safety strategies in other industries and government agencies to maximize injury prevention and to assure ANSI compliance.

Gone are the days when serious mishaps and worker injuries were blamed solely on worker negligence. Gone, too, are the days when worker injuries were solely the responsibility of the corporate Safety Office. With the recent releases of the ANSI/GEIA-STD-0010-2009 Standard Best Practices for System Safety Program Development and Execution as well as ANSI Z10-2005 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management Systems standard, government agencies and corporate senior and executive managers became accountable for implementing a best practice system that anticipates injurious worker errors and engineers an environment to prevent them.

We can assist clients with key steps to achieve best practice status:

• Gap Analysis – establish a baseline by comparing an organization’s existing system safety program and safety and health management system to the provisions in the new ANSI requirements
• Safety Audits – compare current systems and practices with ANSI requirements to establish and/or monitor ongoing best practices
• Design Reviews – conduct design reviews throughout the entire life cycle of systems, subsystems, equipment and facilities
• Procurement Reviews – conduct safety reviews of all capital expenditure funding requests
• Education & Training – provide customized workshops and one-on-one consultation on a variety of topics, including
  • System Safety and Ethical Leadership
  • The Role of Engineering Design in Human Error Reduction
  • What Executives Need to Know About New Occupational Safety Standards
  • Workplace Safety to Avoid Serious Injury
  • Real World CSI: Forensic Biomechanics and Injury Causation Determination
