The existance of SAFE-T-SENTINEL’s is the ultimate goal of any proactive and mature safety aware organisation. The SAFE-T-SENTINEL^© is a specific intervention which  may be implemented within an organisation at a time when the more traditional behavioural observational programs have taken root. Once we have a significant population within the organisation who have been trained in the competencies associated with SAFE-T-COACH^© and SAFE-T-VIEW^©; we are in a better position to strategically implement the SAFE-T-SENTINEL^©intervention. It is at the point when the majority of the workforce has acquired the skills of safe/unsafe observations, safety focused communications, the application of TSL within their day-to-day workplace interventions, that we can set the Sentinels free.

So what is a SAFE-T-SENTINEL^©. A Sentinel is something that is forever “searching” or “on guard” for something. In the environment of a BBS POWER integrated program the SAFE-T-SENTINEL is an identity free application of the principles of SAFE-T-VIEW without the formalised structure. What this means is that an organisation is releasing the intellectual capital it has created via the implementation of SAFE-T-VIEW. As an employee is involved in a Sentinel interaction they mark it on their Sentinel I-Check. Sentinel I-Checks are submitted on an agreed basis and the data tracked using similar methodologies to SAFE-T-VIEW.

The SAFE-T-SENTINEL adds a level of POWER to the entire program by making every employee (irrespective of employee level) a potential SAFE-T-SENTINEL. When you have an effective SAFE-T-SENTINEL program functioning within the business you are potentially recognising over ninety percent (90%) of unsafe behaviours. Hazard recognition is arguably the most significant aspect of behavioural accident control. If you haven’t seen it (recognised), then you really can’t deal with it (control).

Every organisations’ ultimate goal should be the effective application of the SAFE-T-SENTINEL program.
