The Loss Control X-Factor - (Chart Viewed Below)

The graph below represents an historical analysis of how accident, incident, losses are reduced over time with the proper implementation of a comprehensive safety and loss control program auditing system. The audit system at the time developed by Mr. Frank Bird Jr. C.S.P.,  and various Auditors of the International Society of Accredited Safety Auditors, comprised of 22 management program elements with over 400+ questions and systems embedded within the various sub-elements (listed below). The Five Star Graph below depicts the actual BLS Accident rate reduction for a 114-acre, 750 employee 3 plant manufacturing facility. The company received several annual worker's comp. premium rebates during this period. As the level of safety and loss control programs increased, the accidents and incidents decreased. The stars correlate with the International Safety Rating System© (5 star I S R S Audit System) and the rating received during the audited period and the percentage rates for program implementation progress. 179 union hourly and facility management within various departments played a key role assisting the company, as the first company in the world to achieve the prestigious Five Star Advanced Level Award for Safety & Loss Control Program Management Excellence in a manufacturing organization. At the time, there were more than 3,500 member companies world wide within (I S R S Program and Audit System). At the time, The President of Global Loss Control Dominic (Nick) Brignola, A.S.A.,  was Property Conservation and Safety Manager and Program Coordinator of the Five Star Advanced Level I S R S Program. The program, was made up of 179 employees who were divided up into 22 element teams, managed by 8 key team leaders, selected from Corporate, Safety, Operations, Engineering, Purchasing, HR, Maintenance Management, Finance, HR, as well as Plant Union Leadership, and Union Hourly Employees. The team leadership were given orientation and training to oversee and manage the 22 element teams, who were audited quarterly. A comprehensive audit report of results  was performed quarterly and presented to team leadership and executive management which laid the ground work for the development of objectives and goals, each and every quarter. The rest is history. NOTE: The I S R S was a program that required a minimum of 3 to 7 year commitment for Leadership and Administration, Manning, Objective, Goals Setting and Budgeting, from the Board of Directors, Executives and Management and The Hard Working Front Lie Supervision and Their Employees within the Corporation, regardless of the size.
