When LJM is invited into a company, we walk a logical route through it. We look at documentation and conduct face-to-face interviews. We talk with leadership, management and key stakeholders to identify values and to develop a clear picture of a company's culture. We talk with employees and find out about their work and their challenges. We pinpoint weaknesses where the safety improvement effort could focus.

Our Current State Analysis and Safety Snapshot processes provide a picture of the organisation's existing safety systems and culture measured against world's best practice. We map where an organisation is on its safety journey, focusing on the systems (process and procedures), cultural elements (behaviours, values, and attitudes) and the relationship between the two. The analysis aims to identify behaviours that exist in the workplace and how they are managed, measure the effectiveness of management systems and highlight key safety initiatives and processes that are working well and those that need improvement.

LJM understands that identifying gaps in safety management is only the first step to overcoming resistance and to building high performance teams who truly work safely. This analysis not only establishes a clear picture of an organisation's current state but it also provides a benchmark for measuring the success of subsequent actions on the safety journey.

In order to understand the current state of any organisation's safety performance, LJM considers:
• Corporate safety values
• How well safety values are communicated and understood
• Workplace behaviours
• How well workplace behaviours are managed
• The quality of safety communication
• The quality, rigour and compliance of safety systems
• The quality of safety processes
• Compliance with safety systems and processes
• How is safety performance measured
• Quality of leadership
