The SafeThink™ Strategy

SafeThink™ is a structured critical thinking strategy for identifying agents of cause and conditions, actions, and events in the workplace that can interact to create hazardous situations. The goal of SafeThink™ is to prevent work-related illness and injury, all day, every day.

SafeThink™ is a rigorous way for your employees to remain vigilant, think about their work, assess their surroundings, and anticipate hazardous situations. The thinking process involves asking oneself a series of questions to determine if a hazardous situation exists or could be created. SafeThink™ is fully compatible with your company’s other hazard assessment and health and safety programs––in fact, using SafeThink™ can make your other programs more effective!
 
HDC offers two levels of Safethink™ training:

  • SafeThink™ Training for workers, supervisors, and safety advisors
  • Safethink™ Coach-the-Coach Training for coaches (5 day course)

    • locations, scheduling are flexible
    • includes course materials:
      • Training Manual

    During each workshop, your employees will learn a new part of the Safethink™ strategy and practice applying it to their own jobs and worksites. They can start using Safethink™ from day 1––the objective is for employees to internalize the strategy so that it is part of how they think about their work, plan their work, do their work, and follow up on their work.
