Risk Management: Area of Focus

  • Incident tracker : Log workplace events/ issues in the incident tracker

  • Employee Suggestion Box

  • June Risk Management Area of Focus: Stop, Think, Act

    • Enhances personal safety: Taking a moment to pause and think increases clinic safety and significantly reduces the risk of accidents, injuries, or harm to oneself and others. It allows for a more cautious and calculated approach to ensure personal safety.

    • Promotes sound decision-making: Rushing without thoughtful consideration can lead to impulsive decisions and hasty actions, which may make the problem worse or create new ones. By stopping to think, we can gather information, assess risks, and make informed decisions that are more likely to result in positive outcomes.

    • Fosters teamwork and communication: In a collaborative workplace, pausing to think provides an opportunity to involve others, seek advice, or share concerns. Open communication and discussing the situation with colleagues can gain different perspectives, draw on collective expertise and develop the most appropriate course of action.

    • Demonstrates professionalism and responsibility: Taking a moment to think before rushing into a potentially dangerous situation showcases professionalism, responsibility, and a commitment to maintaining a safe work environment. It reflects an individual's dedication to prioritizing the well-being of oneself, colleagues, and NACC as a whole.
