“What we have learned is both simple and consequential,” Dr. Hallowell said. “SIFs are driven by high-energy hazards, and they are prevented with controls that are targeted, sufficient to mitigate the energy, and not dependent on perfect human performance. High-Energy Control Assessments, or HECA, quantify safety as the proportion of high-energy hazards with an effective Direct Control and translate this into a practical method for assessing performance during normal work. By evaluating controls during routine safety walks, HECA shifts safety from counting outcomes to assessing the conditions that indicate SIF risk, and Intelex’s platform enables this to be applied consistently at scale, with greater standardization, visibility, and actionable insight across the organization.”
