The Components of Values-Based Safety®
Values-Based Safety® Turnkey Implementation
For clients seeking to maximize the probability of success, Quality Safety Edge provides onsite support throughout the planning and implementation of the Values-Based Safety® process. We become members of your Design Team and shares responsibility and accountability for installing the new Values-Based Safety® process. The level of involvement and strategies vary for different organizations.
Values-Based Safety® Train-the-Trainer
Large organizations can often reduce the cost of implementation by conducting Observer Training themselves. Quality Safety Edge trains Design Team members or others within the organization to lead the Observer Training workshops. This training consists of a combination of a skill development workshop and co-leading of the initial Observer Training workshops with experienced Quality Safety Edge personnel. Skills covered in the train-the-trainer workshop include:
- Effective presentation strategies
- Optimizing the adult education experience
- Dealing with resistance and managing the class
- Preparation of materials and content
Values-Based Safety® Internal Consultant
Quality Safety Edge also works with clients to identify and develop internal consultants to support the design and implementation of Behavioral Safety processes across multiple locations. After completing Quality Safety Edge’s certification process, internal consultants then lead future Design Team workshops, facilitate the Design Team planning meetings, and lead Observer Training workshops.
