OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY PROGRAM: Identifying Areas for Action and Highlighting Progress

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY PROGRAM 2026 – Template for Evaluating Workplace Safety Using SCORE

Where does your company stand—and where is action needed?

What is the WORKPLACE SAFETY PROGRAM?

A tool used by Arbeitssicherheit Hillebrand in its consulting practice to conduct a structured assessment of occupational safety and health in the workplace.

What is being considered?

For example, occupational safety and health management, hazard assessments, operating procedures, training, occupational health services, and other requirements relevant to the specific business.

The specific scope depends on the business and the risk situation. The template is therefore not an exhaustive, universally applicable checklist.

Target – Actual – Action.

The question is not just, “Is something available?” but rather: What is needed? What is available? Where is there a gap? What action should be taken as a result?

SCORE.

The evaluations are used to generate a consolidated status report. This allows management and occupational safety officers to see at a glance where the company stands and to track developments over time.

The "overall performance" in occupational safety is calculated by evaluating the % values achieved in the individual items of the "PROGRAM" status report and shown as SCORE.

 

A SCORE can achieve up to "10 out of 10" points.

In the consulting practice of Arbeitssicherheit Hillebrand, the SCORE proves to be a very concise and motivating status indicator.

The screenshot shows the status sheet of a sample company with all the key points of occupational health and safety, divided into the chapters 1 Organization of occupational safety 2 ASA consultations 3 Inspections 4 Risk assessments 5 Operating instructions 6 Instructions 7 Occupational health precautions. Each chapter is presented with the main sub-items. The sub-items are described with numerical target/actual values. The target/actual deviations are explicitly shown in three notations: a) % figure b) School grade 1 - 6 c) Color symbol red - orange - green.
