Risk Management, Safety Management and
Loss Control
Topves
1.4. Sitemap
My website has a tree structure which I will explain briefly to facilitate your
browsing. I will start at the top and then work downwards. As my website centers
around the assumption of getting (lasting) results through management activities, the
"center line" of the tree is directed towards the management
system.
I use some numbers starting at the top level. While browsing, that does not mean that you will have to go from 1 to 2 to
3 and so on. Where appropriate, hyperlinks are provided in the text and those will take
you to the page of your interest. You can also use the hyperlinks at the left
hand side of the page.
At the highest level you will find the following:
1.0. Homepage - this is probably
where you started
3.0. Management system - the how to develop and structure the management
system
3.1. Model - basic model used. With underlying pages:
Motivation - Leadership - Plan -
Train - Do .
3.2. Projects - relation between a number of specific projects and the management
system. As per below.
The gate to level 4 is
"Management Systems" which splits into:
4.0. Management System Introduction - The introduction to the management
system which in turn is divided as shown below in 5.0 contents (what should
be in the system), 5.1. structure (of all subjects which are part of the
system) and 5.2. the TopChem example (an example that I provide with my
selection of system contents).
4.1. Implementation - the process to develop and implement the management
system for best results. Implementation divides into the "16-step
process" and related rating tool.
From 4.0 System introduction we go to level 5 and
6:
5.0. Content - MAA's. This
will contain the activities that make up the system to control risk and
loss. A MAA is a Management Activity And Attention Area that describes vital
(risk control) activities or attention areas, when to do something and by whom. Normally you will
find that in the form of a manual or electronically on the Intranet. This is
a major part of the total management system which will be described
further under
4.0. Under 5.0. and in connection with the MAA's, you will find 6.0. the
related GMP's or Good Management Practices describing
how the activities should be carried out. There may be up to 20 - 25 MAA's and
likely as
many GMP'S. Section 5.0 divides into 5.0.1. - where a number of sources are
given that indicate which subjects should be considered as MAA's - and
into 5.02. where I will give my selection of MAA's to be worked out in the TopChem
example under 5.0.02.1.
5.1. This describes the structure
that should be present in each of the MAA's. This structure is basically an
extension of the Deming wheel (Plan - Do - Check - Act) and runs parallel to
the process described under 4.1.1. The main purpose of the structure is to
identify activity needs and to assure implementation and results from the
activities described. The structure contains 10 items that together make up
the wheel of continuing improvement.
From 4.1. Implementation:
4.1.1. the process of how to set
up a management system that will also work. Under 4.1.1. you will 16 steps to
take (the "16-step process") plus 1 condition item
("motivation"). Of course the making of the management
system itself (3.0, 5.0 and 5.1.) is at the heart of this process.
4.1.2. provides a rating system
which follows the process in 4.1.1. I made this rating system as an aid to
discuss the process that should bring the results from the management
system.
So that's basically it. The above and the associated pages
contain the most important elements of obtaining success in risk management,
safety and control of loss. The pages will increasingly contain detail to become
meaningful and you may help this process by asking questions, making suggestions
and possibly also making contributions.
THE
principle of MANAGEMENT RESULTS
"A
manager tends to secure most effective results - through and with others - by
performing the management work of planning, organizing, leading and controlling."
