Data from Sphera\u2019s New Safety Report reveals that even though safety is part of the corporate culture, companies lack a well-defined roadmap to implement safety improvement measures.<\/h4>\n

CHICAGO, Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — While most companies have embraced safety as part of their corporate culture, there are still hurdles to overcome to improve their process safety and personal safety performance, Sphera\u2019s new Safety Report<\/a> reveals.<\/p>\n

Sphera\u00ae<\/sup>, a leading global provider of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG<\/a>) performance and risk management software, data and consulting services, surveyed nearly 350\u00a0risk,\u00a0process safety\u00a0and\u00a0health and\u00a0safety professionals. Results show that while 75%<\/strong> of the respondents said that safety is part of their organization\u2019s corporate culture, only 40%<\/strong> said they have a well-defined safety performance roadmap in place.<\/p>\n

Safety is the foundation of any strong organization and a key component of ESG. According to Sphera\u2019s Safety Report, creating a safety culture is just as important as being compliant, which has impacted the prioritization of performance safety drivers. Respondents indicated that the top\u00a0three\u00a0key\u00a0safety performance\u00a0drivers are reducing operational and major accident hazard (MAH) risk exposure\u00a0(60%<\/strong>), regulatory compliance (48%<\/strong>), and corporate and board priority (37%<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Employer awareness of the safety hazards facing their workforce has been heightened during the pandemic. Over a quarter (27%<\/strong>) of respondents\u00a0indicated that the adoption of centralized Health\u00a0and\u00a0Safety processes is lagging.<\/p>\n

For five years<\/a>, Sphera produced the highly anticipated Process Safety Management\/Operational Risk Management (PSM\/ORM) report exploring industry trends in\u00a0process safety and operational risk management. However, with <\/strong>th<\/strong>e 2021<\/strong> report<\/strong> Sphera <\/strong>has <\/strong>expand<\/strong>ed<\/strong> the<\/strong> overall safety landscape to include health and safety as well<\/strong>.<\/strong> While the occupational safety and health sector has especially felt pressure, companies across all sectors have had to make constant structural adjustments to keep workers safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic has highlighted just how quickly safety and risk management processes can be thrown\u00a0off\u00a0balance. Safety in all its aspects makes for a resilient and sustainable business model, especially in an era when ESG goals are of the utmost importance,\u201d said Sphera CEO and President Paul\u00a0Marushka.\u00a0\u201cAn effective safety culture and efficient safety process helps ensure a healthy workforce and enhanced business performance. However, we are still seeing a gap in how companies link safety and business performance, which highlights a need for a more holistic approach through data, software and expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additional insights:<\/strong>
\nThis year\u2019s survey shows 51%\u00a0<\/strong>of respondents\u00a0pointing to limited resources, 43%<\/strong> to conflicting priorities\u00a0and\u00a031% <\/strong>to limited budgets as the main obstacles to delivering planned safety-critical maintenance and inspections, which has remained consistent. These leading indicators of the underlying problems preventing organizations from achieving\u00a0improved\u00a0safety\u00a0performance\u00a0and\u00a0fewer incidents tie back to the gap between safety intent and safety implementation.<\/p>\n

The Sphera Safety Report shows that there is still work to be done implementing risk monitoring practices that address the full spectrum of risks across organizational silos. Additionally, a little over half (56%<\/strong>)\u00a0of respondents\u00a0indicated\u00a0that they still track critical safeguards\/barriers manually, such as loss of containment and structural integrity, and a mere 19%<\/strong>\u00a0said\u00a0that these safeguards are\u00a0monitored\u00a0in real\u00a0time. This further highlights the stronger ties between process and worker safety that emerged during the pandemic and the need for organizations to have a holistic view of safety and risk management.<\/p>\n
