SIFO pyramid
SIFO is challenging the traditional approach to safety
Approximately 80% of all accidents are directly attributable to the person involved in the incident. In fact, unsafe work behavior causes four times as many accidents as unsafe work conditions. The SIFO Pyramid shows a relationship of a serious injury accident to minor injury accidents, damage-causing accidents, and near misses. There is a link between the number of near misses and the number of significant casualties. Therefore, the more we can reduce the unsafe acts and conditions, the less likely we are to have a serious incident or injury.
In SIFO we have a belief that human intervention could predict and prevent most accidents, in combination with correcting unsafe conditions, to eliminate the potential for an incident to occur.
By strengthening our SIFO culture and the more we look out for each other, we can be incident-free.
4 guiding principles
- Looking Out for Each Other
- Understanding & actively managing the risks in every task
- Choosing to follow the safety rules and procedures
- Speaking Up and stopping the job when we see something unsafe
We encourage all our person to live by these principles and apply them in every task that we do
In Solstad we accept that we are responsible for our own safety.
We will actively approach others about working safely, take action in case of unsafe operations and stop the work, accept feedback about our safety behavior regardless of rank and position and we will report all incidents including near misses to inform others and build upon lessons learned.
In this journey we will strive to achieve an Incident Free Operational Environment.
