Risk Owners or Senior Site Executives of high hazard operations are typically appointed with an accountability for ensuring the adequacy of critical controls {more} For example in the mining sector they need to own and advocate for improving the effectiveness of controls.

+This is easier said than done due to limited resources, time and maturity of data analytics available at their fingertips
Our Controls Reliability Analysis provides Risk Owners with targeted business intelligence on high-risk activities and controls that are to be prioritised and strengthened in the field.  

+ We analyse historical incidents and their control breakdown, evaluate work as done through critical control verifications and identify opportunities for strengthening critical control management within high-risk tasks.
A Control Reliability Analysis includes all the benefits of a Controls Analysis {link} but also triangulates this data with operation critical control verifications.

+ It is a customised service given that each organisation has different type of critical control verification data structures and the data requires cleansing and configuration.
We provide access to self-service interactive digital dashboard and a custom report

Identification of key priorities and safety processes for critical risk management to inform a long-term safety improvement journey

Validation workshop and Risk Owner debrief session.

Tests the corporate classification system  

Establishes current risk profile as informed by incidents and near misses

Identifies specific controls that need to be strengthened to be more effective (ie. Absent or ineffective)
Identifies controls that are enabled or non-enabled for worker implementation

Provides actionable opportunities to increase confidence that critical controls are more effective in high-risk work  

Workshop and debrief with key stakeholders.

‍

• Leaders of high hazard organisations have realised that they don’t fully understand their control framework or its effectiveness as well as they should {more}
o 49% of control failures involve intentional “workarounds” by workers
o 61% of critical controls were in some way difficult to implement for the worker
o High-risk work controls are not always effective or fully enabled.
o Local operational risk-tolerance is often driven by misaligned corporate systems.
o Controls imagined are not as effective in the field
• Post-incident remediation actions don’t make enough difference and serious incidents are repetitious
• Confidence in risk assurance is an ongoing challenge for seniors leaders and directors

Meta Incident Analysis offers a comprehensive examination of historical incidents to provide deep clarity of risk profile, failed or ineffective controls as well as systemic issues {more}

o Proven expert data analytics platform provides deep insights into multiple incidents with similar exposure types to identify common factors and specific control breakdowns.

o The diagnostics help identify specific weak, absent or ineffective controls and related cultural factors that perpetuate risk.

o It examines the effectiveness of current learning and action development systems, identifying systemic and cultural factors contributing to risk and delivers strategic, actionable recommendations aimed at preventing recurrence and improving safety protocols.

The Meta Incident Analysis diagnostic, if including an optional Incident Severity Analysis, provides accurate and actionable insights into the most significant exposure reduction opportunities across your operations {more}

• Comprehensively identifies specific gaps in critical control management for high-risk exposure activities
• Identifies specific controls that need to be strengthened and more effective
• Identifies controls that are enabled or non-enabled for worker implementation
• Identifies key human, operating culture, and organisational factors that are routinely perpetuate undesirable exposure
• Examines whether investigation corrective actions are likely to make a difference to risk exposure
• Provides actionable opportunities to increase confidence that critical controls are more effective in high-risk work {more}
o Recommendations for short- and medium-term improvement of exposure and control reliability
o Critical risk management system improvement opportunities
• Get access to comprehensive power-bi dashboard and a report with recommendations to improve assurance

Meta Incident Analysis Assurance provides organisations with ongoing confidence and assurance of incident classification and their changing risk profile {more}

• The Meta Incident Analysis Assurance service assists organisations with building internal capability through independent data analysis and coaching
• Provides independent governance of classification and deep causal analysis of your actual incident and near miss data.
• Ongoing assurance service tests and reports on the accuracy of corporate incident severity classification and reports on the prevalence of high-severity potential events across certain high-risk activities.
• Identifies opportunities to strength effectiveness of controls in the field
• It is typically undertaken after an initial MIA diagnostic project.
