Stowell Conversulting Information

People don't want to be in dangerous situations. People don't want to get hurt. My services are dedicated to preventing accidents by systemic integration of communication and control processes embedding the human element for organisation that: • recognize they are challenged by safety performance improvement; • have exhausted their internal capacities and resources; • need to augment their competencies to deliver services to customers. DEMAND Employees trust their management to ensure work is conducted in safety and everyone returns home without injury. Companies have legal obligations to manage safety risks, but when the task, equipment, environment or individual are not aligned to the expected situation, the risk of accidents increases. Despite the best of intentions, or even certification to recognised standards, accidents continue to occur to the perplexity of senior management and supporting safety practitioners. The cost of an accident incurs direct financial losses (sick pay, investigation, insurance, replacement employee salary, plant downtime, enforcing authority prosecution/fines etc.), and also indirect ‘uninsurable’ losses (reputation with customers, employee confidence and trust). Over 80% of incidents can be attributed to ineffective or inefficient consideration of the human element as peoples’ actions or inactions generate a complex variety of undesired outcomes. INNOVATION Professional competency and a deep understanding of task management, equipment engineering and human behaviour (acquired over two decades of experience in military and commercial environments) are expertly combined to manage risk and reduce uncontrolled variety. The solutions are based on the following principles: CONCEIVING client's needs from an interdisciplinary perspective. CONVERTING client's existing processes to enhance the human element. RESULTING in sustainable improvement in safety performance.
