Listen Later

The Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) model, also known as the four stages of continuous improvement, is crucial for an organization's health and safety goals. On Episode 66 of the IHSA Safety podcast, Maren Gamble, Manager of Strategic Programs at IHSA, walked through the PDCA model as a fundamental framework for developing and implementing an effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). On this episode of the IHSA Safety podcast, Maren delves deeper into the practical application of the PDCA model, breaking it down as follows:

·      During the Plan stage, having a well-developed plan is critical, which involves carefully outlining each step and considering all possible scenarios to ensure everything is covered

·      The Do stage involves assigning roles to individuals and ensuring everyone understands their roles in order to carry out the plan effectively

·      The Check stage involves assessing the outcome of the event and identifying areas for improvement

·      The Act stage involves celebrating the successes and small victories, as well as making necessary adjustments to improve the overall OHSMS process

Every step of the PDCA model is important for continuous improvement and maintaining a safe work environment.
