"Maturity Path for Employee Safety Teams"

Battelle Energy Alliance - Idaho National Laboratory

The Maturity Path for Employee Safety Teams is a process for measuring the effectiveness of your employee safety team [safety committee]. Using practical experience, the scorecard identifies seventeen (17) elements that are necessary for a team to be successful. It also provides a description of the four (4) progression steps [Beginning, Improving, Succeeding, and Leading] for each element.

The scorecard allows the user to rate the 17 elements and come up with an accumulative score. The scorecard also has a simple map for tracking your progress. Teams are able to score themselves periodically to ensure they are moving forward or it may help them identify areas that need additional attention. A team must maintain a score of "51" or above to remain "Star" quality.

To learn more about this program or to obtain additional information, please contact Bowen Huntsman at (208) 526-0388, or via e-mail bowen.huntsman@inl.gov


As part of our effort to promote and recognize safety and health program excellence and achievement, the DOE - VPP is looking for proven site work practices, approaches, innovative solutions, and program models that can be shared and communicated with others across the complex. If your site has a best practice that you would like featured here, please contact us at DOEVPP@eh.doe.gov
