The DiagnOHStic tool allows users to assess their level of control over the main strategic elements with regard to managing occupational health and safety. Its content is based on the three fundamental duties of managers regarding health and safety management: foresight, effectiveness, and authority.
These three fundamental duties make up each section of the tool, which is used for theory, as well as self-evaluation. A total of 35 fact sheets examine subjects such as:
- risk analysis,
- legal compliance,
- performance indicators,
- behavioural approach,
- audit systems implementation,
- disciplinary measures and much more.
The ultimate objective is that each manager or organization can self-evaluate and implement a 20-80 strategy, which is based on the 20% of efforts that produce 80% of the results.
