Proposal for Empowering Teams for the Purpose of Identification of Deviations and Elimination of Accidents

Abstract

The present work suggests that the empowerment of each employee, making them sufficiently responsible, aware and with the capacity and authority to act on the deviations, will cause the risk management to achieve the desired results. Also discussed in this paper is the fact that, by placing the employee in a position to act with authority, there is, on his part, a vertical upward displacement along the Maslow pyramid. Therefore, it is observed that, as the employee ascends the scale, he begins to behave more actively, moving vertically downwards in the accident prevention pyramid, passing as a passive actor, at the risk of undergo an accident, to an attentive agent in the identification of deviations and acting on them, avoiding the evolution of the events along the sequence deviation, incident, near-accident, non-serious accident, serious accident. conditions before companies can efficiently collaborate in investigations.
