The Safety Delta Annual Meeting (SDAM) is all about sharing views and experiences and coming up with ways to further develop Safety Delta according to your needs.
Here are the highlights of this year’s SDAM:
1. Transforming Safety Delta to Performance Delta
2. Performance insights from Eskild Ebbesen
3. Updates in the SIRE 2.0 and DryBMS network
4. Enhancing our services and making the Safety Delta process easier
Let’s discuss each key point in more detail.
We’ve been constantly developing Safety Delta over the years, and our data shows an interesting insight – Safety Delta is much more than a safety tool. Hence, we’ve started the process of making it even more performance-oriented, transforming it into Performance Delta.
Here’s a quick look at the strengths and weaknesses of the current Safety Delta process:
We are leveraging these strengths and working on the areas for improvement.
What’s important is that we help the crew direct attention. For example, if leaders start focusing on work debriefs, we see improvement in the perception of safety reports and their value.
To give you more actionable insights into a vessel’s performance, here’s what we’re working on:
From reports to dashboards:
We’re shifting from the Crew Safety Diagnosis (CSD) PDF reports to a dashboard showing the actual performance status of a vessel in areas such as psychological safety, collective intelligence, risk management, and leadership engagement.
A new human performance platform:
The dashboard we’re talking about is part of the platform we’re developing, which will give you a more holistic overview of crew performance and the actions needed. This will help you monitor, analyse, and act upon all aspects of human performance.
Five-time Olympic champion rower Eskild Ebbesen shared valuable performance insights from his sports career, many of which can be applied on board vessels. Watch his presentation here.
Since our participants at this meeting were exclusively tanker companies, we only touched upon the developments within the SIRE 2.0 network.
Uni-Tankers had some experiences to share about the inspections that have taken place. Here are some key points:
Experience highlights:
Overall, the process is not well-structured to ensure reliable observations. Also, there’s still a lot of confusion about where the focus should be – less on procedures and more on the human element.
Client actions:
What we will do:
We grouped the participants into teams, where they engaged in in-depth sharing of their experiences, challenges, and recommendations on how we can provide you better services.
Based on their feedback, here’s what we’ll work on:
