Analysis

We use different instruments to arrive at an objective assessment of the degree of maturity of the safety culture and make proposals for improvement measures, depending on the size and heterogeneity of a company, the established deadline and the precision of the requested analysis:

The safety culture expertise is a compact external analysis based on observations and discussions – carried out by an etalon expert. It provides practical insights into the safety culture in practice and is suitable for companies of all sizes. It can also be used as a ‘target/actual’ comparison for existing measures.

etalon’s guided self-analysis determines the self-image of the safety culture – with strong employee involvement. This increases motivation to implement identified improvements. Particularly suitable for large, heterogeneous organisations, e.g. after mergers. The method promotes long-term development and can be repeated annually.

Managers have a significant influence on the safety culture. Etalon’s online method analyses individual leadership styles, supplemented by a personality analysis. This results in a development plan for the targeted strengthening of leadership qualities.

We support managers in getting started with safety culture using proven tools such as work situation analysis. We would be happy to present our methods to you in person – simply contact us using the form.

Consulting

etalon’s approach is to find the right direction for a continuous development within a company. We take a close look at what the current obstacles and future hurdles might be and provide assistance in overcoming them. Regardless of the maturity level of a safety culture, our solutions are not off-the-shelf, and we are always there for our customers, especially when the going gets tough. The nature of our consulting services is always specifically tailored to the task at hand. Our consultants adapt to the situation and the target group, which can range from employees in production or in the workshop to the group executive board. We support employees with management responsibilities and in matrix functions (safety officers and safety specialists) in coping with their day-to-day tasks, and we advise managers on strategic considerations in the context of conflicting goals.

Training

etalon has a comprehensive range of proven training modules. However, customer needs are more important to us than standards. That is why we are happy to tailor our training courses to the specific situation and also create entire training curricula that fits our clients‘ needs.

In this module, we will work with you to determine why it is essential for managers to focus In this module, we will work with you to determine why it is essential for managers to focus on occupational safety.

We train your employees and provide answers to key questions: How do we perceive risks? Why is occupational safety not a given, even though every employee wants to return home healthy? Where are the weaknesses in terms of objective risk assessment?

Instructions are often delivered in the form of a lecture with a presentation: the same content year after year, in oral or written form. Those being instructed usually sit passively in the plenary session. We show you how you can get more out of your events.

Risk assessments are the fundamental tool in occupational safety for minimising risks. However, the potential of this instrument can only be fully explored if behaviour-oriented measures are considered.

Risk assessments are the fundamental tool in occupational safety and health for minimizing risks. However, the potential of this tool is only fully realized when behavior-based measures are taken into account.

Brief safety talks are an ideal and simple tool for raising your colaborators‘ awareness of risks and integrating occupational safety into everyday working life.

Investigating an accident is a complex matter. Regardless of which method you use to analyse an accident, it always boils down to the fundamental question: How can we prevent accidents in the future?

Inspections are often carried out with the aid of checklists. In many companies, the focus is on technical and organisational improvement potential, and a to-do list is then drawn up. Although this is necessary, it is by no means sufficient. This training course shows new ways forward.

Recognising and avoiding psychological stress is increasingly becoming a competitive factor for companies. Only healthy employees are able to work with motivation and identify with their company.

At etalon, we are convinced that for any sustainable change process, it is essential that companies do not rely solely on the expertise of external partners. We train your in-house trainers.

Training

etalon verfügt über einen reichhaltigen Baukasten an bewährten Trainingsmodulen. Bedürfnisse der Kunden sind uns jedoch wichtiger als Standards. Deshalb passen wir unsere Trainings gerne auf die jeweilige Situation an und erstellen auch ganze Trainingscurricula.

In diesem Modul erarbeiten wir mit Ihnen, warum es essentiell ist, dass Führungskräfte das Thema Arbeitsschutz in den Mittelpunkt stellen.

Wir trainieren Ihre Mitarbeiter und geben Antworten auf die zentralen Fragen: Wie nehmen wir Gefahren wahr? Warum ist Arbeitsschutz kein Selbstläufer, obwohl jeder Arbeitnehmer gesund wieder nach Hause gehen möchte? Wo liegen die Schwächen bezüglich einer objektiven Risikoeinschätzung?
Häufig werden Unterweisungen als Vortrag mit Präsentation abgespult: Jahr für Jahr die gleichen Inhalte, in mündlicher oder schriftlicher Form. Die zu Unterweisenden sitzen meist passiv im Plenum. Wir zeigen Ihnen, wie Sie mehr aus Ihren Veranstaltungen machen können.
Gefährdungsbeurteilungen sind das grundlegende Werkzeug im Arbeitsschutz, um Risiken zu minimieren. Das Potenzial dieses Instruments wird jedoch erst ausgeschöpft, wenn verhaltensorientierten Maßnahmen berücksichtigt werden.
Sicherheitskurzgespräche sind ein ideales und einfaches Instrument, um die Gefahrenwahrnehmung Ihrer Mitarbeiter zu stärken und das Thema Arbeitsschutz in den betrieblichen Alltag zu integrieren.
Die Aufklärung eines Unfalls ist ein komplexer Sachverhalt. Ganz egal, welche Methode Sie zur Unfallanalyse verwenden, läuft diese doch immer auf die zentrale Frage hinaus: Wie können wir zukünftig Unfälle vermeiden?
Begehungen werden häufig mit Hilfe von Checklisten durchgeführt. Dabei wird in vielen Unternehmen eher auf die technischen und organisatorischen Verbesserungspotenziale geachtet und anschließend eine To-Do-Liste erstellt. Dies ist zwar notwendig, reicht aber längst nicht aus. Dieses Training zeigt neue Wege auf.
Das Erkennen und Vermeiden psychischer Belastungen ist für Unternehmen zunehmend ein Wettbewerbsfaktor. Denn nur gesunde Mitarbeiter sind überhaupt in der Lage, motiviert in einem Unternehmen zu arbeiten und sich mit diesem zu identifizieren.
Wir von etalon sind davon überzeugt, dass es für jeden nachhaltigen Veränderungsprozess notwendig ist, dass Unternehmen nicht ausschließlich auf die Expertise von externen Partnern setzen. Wir bilden Ihre hausinternen Trainer aus.

Coaching

As important as external consultants may be at the beginning and at key milestones, lasting cultural change comes from within a company. To achieve this, responsible people in key positions must set visible personal examples. But we also know that behavioural change takes time and practice. That is why we accompany all target groups on their journey –even beyond our training courses. Our coaching has many facets. It ranges from training in a new approach to systemic management coaching. Ask us and we will tailor our coaching services to your needs.

Concepts and strategies

„Culture eats strategy for breakfast!“ We want our work to be successful and to bring added value to our customers. The success of a change process with lasting effects requires not only the will to change, but also concrete opportunities for change. Both are as individual as our customers‘ companies. That is why our concepts and strategies are based on an analysis of the specific current situation in an organisation. They take into account the existing layers of corporate culture as well as established processes, given goals and, in particular, areas of tension between existing guidelines. The measures we propose fit into the existing structures. The scope for change can vary greatly, and so do our concepts. In one case we prepare the way for change and start with a small step as an icebreaker in a single plant. In other cases, we work with the group management to develop a series of measures for all hierarchical levels across national borders in several plants. A well-coordinated and structured approach is essential for success. With our many years of experience, we are here to support you!

Communication

Communication is dialogue – not a monologue. Interaction between people is a key prerequisite for the further development of companies. This requires a substantive exchange that conveys both appreciation for the other person and one’s own credibility. Conversations stimulate thought processes: engaging with issues and different attitudes leads to solutions – for example, by learning from mistakes instead of looking for someone to blame. With a tried-and-tested toolbox, we support companies in establishing a constructive culture of dialogue: from analysing suitable situations to training in active listening, questioning and feedback techniques to the application of targeted dialogue tools. We support employees and managers in this process through individual coaching sessions.

Environmental protection

In this age of sustainability, active environmental protection that goes beyond mere compliance with legal requirements is essential. Circular economy is no longer just a buzzword, but part of the necessary resource efficiency within your own company and your customers. We also support you in optimising classic tasks of follow- up environmental protection such as waste management, wastewater and exhaust air purification, e.g. by selecting suitable technical solutions and partners. We are also available to assist you with the introduction of management systems in accordance with ISO 14001. In addition, our consultants have experience in optimising processes in large-scale industry and can help you to take environmental protection and sustainability into account right from the product development stage.

Recognising psychological stress

Recognising and avoiding psychological stress is increasingly becoming a competitive factor for companies.

After all, only healthy employees are able to work with motivation and identify with a company. The responsibility for recognising the negative consequences of stress lies with managers. However, most managers are not psychologists and are therefore often unable to fulfil this responsibility.

This is why we created this seminar: it provides background knowledge on the topic of „psychological stress“, introduces simple diagnostic tools and provides practical guidance on how managers and teams can successfully address this issue.

Process reliability

In many manufacturing industries, work and process safety go hand in hand. These topics are particularly closely linked in companies that process chemical substances. Although this field of application is still new to our company, our consultants have many years of experience in the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Special techniques are required to assess and manage the safety of complex systems.

We analyse your systems and evaluate their safety using methods such as FMEA or HAZOP. You can sleep more peacefully when you know that your systems are safe, rather than just believing it. On request, we can also train your employees in these procedures. Together, we develop concepts for the right level of safety -beyond legal requirements. This protects your assets and ensures business continuity. Operational resilience is crucial for sustainable success.

And if something happens? No system is without residual risk. That’s why we prepare your teams specifically for crisis response.
