Insights / Learnings • Traditional Safety Pyramid principles not driving elimination of Serious Injuries

Insights / Learnings • Traditional Safety Pyramid principles not driving elimination of Serious Injuries & Fatalities (SIFs) • Subset of incidents have greater potential to become SIFs • SIFs associated with discrete set of exposures / situations • Broaden analysis to identify / assess potential consequences • Build concepts into existing incident prevention toolkit Sponsored by Indiana University of Pennsylvania Safety Sciences Department in cooperation with Alcoa Foundation 2

Data Analysis • Identified incidents and nearmisses over a 2 -year period with fatality

Data Analysis • Identified incidents and nearmisses over a 2 -year period with fatality potential • 60% associated with ‘higher risk’ activities / procedures • 3 procedures covered ~40% of all events − Working at Heights − Electrical Safety work practices − Crane & Lifting Operations No link to ‘critical procedures’ 40% Occup. health best practices 4% Sponsored by Indiana University of Pennsylvania Safety Sciences Department in cooperation with Alcoa Foundation 5

Performance Metrics • Consider performance metrics that focus on potential consequences, SIF exposure - Incident Risk Assessment Tool (IRAT) considers actual and potential consequences, barriers - ‘Hurt Severity’ based on actual and potential severity vs. ‘treatment’ – all hurts - Provides new perspectives on lagging performance; measure of ‘exposure’ • ‘Mine’ incident / near-miss databases using analytical tools - Discover ‘hidden precursors’ / relationships - Validate, confirm expected / anticipated items Sponsored by Indiana University of Pennsylvania Safety Sciences Department in cooperation with Alcoa Foundation 6

Get the Message Right All injuries and illnesses do matter Maintain commitment to ‘Nobody

Get the Message Right All injuries and illnesses do matter Maintain commitment to ‘Nobody Gets Hurt’ and entire Safety Pyramid Priority focus on preventing potential SIFs Sponsored by Indiana University of Pennsylvania Safety Sciences Department in cooperation with Alcoa Foundation 7
