If your organization would like to partner with NorthStar Concepts for a month to see if our services are a right fit for you, then our Prefatory Month is a great way to get started. We will conduct weekly inspections of your workplace (Workplace Inspections). During these inspections we will identify best practices and behaviors that are being done safely and recognize them to help reinforce continued high-level performance. We will also be identifying areas for improvement, and we will work with your team to develop an action plan for continual improvement.

We begin subsequent inspections by looking at the previous Workplace Inspections reports and identify any trends or action items that remain unresolved.

At the end of the Prefatory Month, we will supply your organization with a documented overall analysis of the month’s Workplace Inspections and give you an idea of how your inspections compare to other clients with similar workplace risks.        

During the Prefatory Month we will conduct weekly Toolbox Safety Meetings (TSMs) with your staff. During the TSMs, we will discuss topics related to your specific risks. As the weekly workplace inspections occur, we will incorporate the findings from those reports into the TSMs. The TSMs are designed to be interactive, and we encourage your staff to actively participate by asking questions and offering suggestions for safety improvements. The TSMs will be documented to capture who attended, and any questions or improvement suggestions that occur during the meetings.

4 weekly Workplace Inspections

4 Workplace Inspection Reports

1 Overall Inspection Report Analysis

orthStar Concepts offers a behavioral-based training solution. TOPRA (Task Observations, and Personal Risk Assessments) is a simple, practical approach to ensure all you staff has the proper awareness of the risks associated with your business, so they can perform their tasks in a safe manner.

Studies consistently show most occupational fatalities occur in companies with 10 or fewer employees. When analyzing the data, the largest contributing factor is either (1) risks that had not been previously identified, or (2) risks that are were not adequality controlled.

TOPRA is a simple, yet very effective way of equipping your employees to understand that many of the risks they encounter everyday can only be managed when they understand how important managing 4 “states” of mind can be.

The overwhelming majority of accidents that occur, on or off the job, involve one or more of these states of mind. 

·       RUSHING

·       FRUSTRATION

·       FATIGUE

·       COMPLACENCY

Failure to manage these states result in one or more of the following consequences.

·       EYES not on task

·       MIND not on task

·       Line-of-Fire exposures

·       Balance, Traction and/or Grip exposures

TOPRA is not a “sliver bullet”. TOPRA is a tool that you, and all your employees can apply in the working environment, and the everyday off-the-job world to better perceive risks, and way to better control the behaviors that only individuals can control.  

TOPRA is a 3-hour, interactive course that can be conducted either in the workplace, or in a conference room environment. TOPRA is stand-alone course and designed for EVERYONE. We can conduct TOPRA as a stand-alone course, or incorporate TOPRA into your overall safety management approach.
