The Invisible SIF: What HOP Has Missed

Human and Organizational Performance emerged in the nuclear industry after the Three Mile Island incident in the early 1980s and has since rapidly spread throughout the safety community. Often touted as the successor to Behavior-Based Safety, HOP introduces innovative concepts aimed at improving workplace safety. However, many safety professionals struggle with translating these theories into actionable steps on the front lines. In this insightful presentation, Bill Sims will explore these challenges and provide strategies to help you effectively implement HOP in your organization. You'll gain a deeper understanding of how to sustain HOP initiatives, maintain accountability, and address the gaps that may leave your team vulnerable to serious injuries and fatalities, while understanding the concept of the Unseen SIF (serious injury and fatality), a critical safety issue that HOP seems to overlook.
