Orange Book 5 year Review


Orange Book 5 year Review

The Orange Book is the Weyerhaeuser Safety Strategy. It is designed to help us.

-          Better understand what we’re trying to achieve with our company safety improvements efforts

-          See how valuable our role is in the safety improvement process

-          Enable our unit to develop its own safety plans and annual plans.

The Weyerhaeuser Safety Strategy will help leadership effectively inspect and coach for safety progress using a common inspection approach that everyone understands.

In the late 1990’s Weyerhaeuser’s RIR approached 5 and about 8 fatalities per year.

Recordable Incident

-          Determined according to OSHA criteria

-          Tracked by OSHA due to severity & Impact

Recordable Incident Rate (RIR)

-          Number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 100 employee per year

-          RIR = # of recordable incidents multiplied by 200,000 divide by total work hours

-          Used to track safety performance. And compare to the industry as a whole.

Weyerhaeuser did several benchmarking studies to understand how and why other companies had better safety records the Weyerhaeuser.

-          Weyerhaeuser developed its safety strategy based on 5 key elements

-          Set a goal of a RIR less than 1

-Reached goal of less than 1 in 2008- Now our vision is injury free or pain free.
