Safety Cycle: A Cumulative Tool for Achieving "Target Zero"
The "Safety Cycle" tool is a visual clock-face board for regular spaced repetition of information about past incidents and top risks of a unit. Every week, the focus shifts to a new incident, which is addressed through informing, monitoring corrective actions, and visual reconstruction (shock content), while the management of the tool is transferred to line managers.
