Three Frameworks, One Goal: Connecting Critical Steps, Critical Controls, & Energy Based Safety to Prevent Fatalities

Critical Controls. Critical Steps. Energy Based Safety. Three frameworks, each tackling fatal risk from a different angle. Each with real strengths. But right now, most organisations are using one, maybe two, in isolation.What if they worked together?

Critical Controls. Critical Steps. Energy Based Safety. Three frameworks, each tackling fatal risk from a different angle. Each with real strengths. But right now, most organisations are using one, maybe two, in isolation.

What if they worked together?


After speaking at the Energy Safety Conference in Canada and spending time with practitioners using all three approaches, I've been doing a lot of thinking about how these frameworks complement each other and where the gaps sit when you only use one.

In this webinar I'll walk through:

- What each framework does well and where it falls short on its own

- How Critical Controls (ICMM aligned) give you the risk based view, Critical Steps give you the activity based view, and Energy Based Safety gives you the energy source view

- A practical model for integrating all three into one coherent approach to fatal risk management

- What this looks like applied to a real scenario (falling from height, energy isolation, or similar)

- Where this thinking is headed and what it means for your SHMS, PHMPs, and frontline work

This isn't theory for the sake of it. It's about closing the blind spots that exist when you manage fatal risk through one lens alone.

Who should attend: Safety professionals, SSEs, risk and control owners, senior leaders, consultants, and anyone responsible for preventing fatalities on site. Relevant across mining, energy, utilities, construction, and heavy industry.
