Follow Through

How do you make sure other people do what they are supposed to do?

When incidents, hits, strikes, or near misses are reported, or when routine audits and inspections turn up issues that require attention, it is more than an EHS problem. It is an opportunity to reduce operational risk and threats to productivity. As the person directing EHS activities, it is also another item added to your very long to-do list. Especially if your company is following industry standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or ISO 45001, all of which have corrective and preventive action requirements.

Unfortunately, depending upon the issue, there may only be so much you can do on your own. You’re likely going to need help and sign offs from many other people in your organization. Managing that handoff is tricky, and without a consistent process or centralized system in place to assign, notify, track and report on corrective actions, it is easy for the task to fall into the bucket of incomplete tasks. Even when you have successfully handed off a project, and progress is being made, just getting a status update or estimated time of completion can be a full-time job.

Furthermore, if you’re trying to manage the process with a system that’s reliant on paper, spreadsheets and emails, then your battle is that much harder — especially if you are tracking actions over multiple locations and trying to keep track of photos, reports, or other items related to the tasks. The logistics of juggling time zones, schedules, preferred methods of communication, etc., add up to one giant headache. And in the end, you’re still on the hook for whether or not the corrective actions get completed.
