The National Safety Council, in cooperation with the NCCCO Foundation, has introduced a complimentary digital resource designed to assist businesses in systematically examining and strengthening their occupational safety protocols to avert severe injuries and deaths. The resource is aptly dubbed the Organizational Safety Gap Analysis Tool.
The offering is grounded in established preventative research and enables a structured evaluation across multiple operational domains such as leadership approaches, hazard management, and employee involvement. The Organizational Safety Gap Analysis Tool functions by guiding users through a self-assessment that results in customized analysis, outlining existing procedural strengths and pinpointing specific vulnerabilities within an organization's safety framework.
The Organizational Safety Gap Analysis Tool was developed under the National Safety Council's Work to Zero initiative, which is funded by the McElhattan Foundation.
