The Time Out-System: Proactive occupational safety management
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY is spelled in capital letters at ROBUR – it is our top priority. Therefore, the colleagues of ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN have implemented an effective occupational health and safety tool and HSEQ tool “Time Out” as a pilot solution. With the “Time Out System”, colleagues can report critical situations, any misconduct and potential hazards on construction sites very easily and quickly. Topics of these reports range from quality defects to dangerous situations and can be made either via e-mail or the Time Out reporting block.
The aim of this system is to identify potential hazards in good time, eliminate causes at an early stage and thus prevent incidents.
110 colleagues each produced four reports in 2022, which corresponds to a total of around 30 to 35 reports per month. The entire team is increasingly sensitized to safety issues, particularly regarding accident prevention on construction sites.
The reports are stored in a database and evaluated monthly. As an incentive to participate, the three best reports are awarded a cash prize. The “best” report is the one with the highest possible impact on occupational safety. The evaluation is done by the HSEQ team of ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN and the evaluation and announcement of the solutions is done by name, which underlines the recognition and appreciation for the efforts of the participants.
One of the system’s important elements is the review, in which all collected reports are checked and evaluated in detail. These audits provide an excellent opportunity for communication with the management, which is informed about the reports from the construction sites and is thus provided with comprehensive and, above all, structured information about the situation and the ongoing improvements.
