    This document summarizes a lecture on reactive and proactive approaches to occupational health and safety. The lecture was given by Mining Engineer Deniz ARIKAN, who discussed the definitions of occupational health and safety as systematic and scientific studies to protect worker health from workplace hazards. ARIKAN then compared reactive and proactive approaches, noting that reactive approaches address issues after they occur while proactive approaches aim to prevent problems before they arise. The lecture proposed shifting from reactive to proactive safety by making safety productive, learning from small everyday events, and allowing some variability in everyday performance.

    What is Occupational Health and Safety?

    It is systematic and scientific studies conducted in order to protect from the


    conditions that may cause health damage caused by various reasons during
    the execution of work in the workplace.

    Reactive approach

    is based on responding to events after they have happened.


    3rd Week : Reactive and Proactive Approach

    Reactive approach

    • What are the characteristics of a reactive person?


    • They wait until problems pop up to address the underlying issue… or
    might only ever address the symptom.
    • When problems do occur, they’re usually quick to address things.
    • They tend to manage the pressure of “putting out fires” fairly well.
    • They work well under pressure and exercise good judgment on the fly.

    Proactive approach

    focuses on eliminating problems before they have a chance to appear


    3rd Week : Reactive and Proactive Approach
    Proactive approach
    • What are the characteristics of a proactive person?
    • They ask questions, suggest ideas, and make comments on things
    beyond the scope of their day-to-day tasks.
    • They anticipate potential problems and work to solve underlying issues
    before trouble starts.
    • “Wait and see” is not in their vocabulary.
    • They tend to be good at working with (or sometimes manipulating) other
    people to get the outcome they want.

    How to shift from reactive to proactive OHS?

    Safety in 3 steps

    The first step would be to make safety productive rather than protective.
    3rd Week : Reactive and Proactive Approach

    How to shift from reactive to proactive OHS?

    Safety in 3 steps

    “Safety is more than the absence of accidents, and cannot be achieved only
    by eliminating hazards and by preventing things from going wrong,” said
    International safety expert Prof. Erik Hollnagel.
    3rd Week : Reactive and Proactive Approach

    How to shift from reactive to proactive OHS?

    Safety in 3 steps

    “Safety management must also learn how things go right and find ways to
    make sure that it happens.”
    3rd Week : Reactive and Proactive Approach

    How to shift from reactive to proactive OHS?

    Safety in 3 steps

    A second step would be to realise that it is more important to learn from what
    happens all the time, even though the consequences may seem small, than
    to learn from what happens rarely, even though the consequences may be
    large.
    3rd Week : Reactive and Proactive Approach

    How to shift from reactive to proactive OHS?

    Safety in 3 steps

    A third step would be to understand the importance of variability


    (approximate adjustments) for everyday performance. Hollnagel said
    variability is generally useful and should be controlled rather than eliminated.
