DEKRA’s Safe Align System Shows Significant Reduction in Injuries
Proven Effectiveness of DEKRA’s Safety Leadership System
In an enlightening discovery, DEKRA North America recently shared compelling findings from an independent study led by the esteemed London Business School. This research rigorously examined the impact of DEKRA's Safe Align System, revealing that its implementation leads to a tremendous reduction in workplace injuries. After 24 months, organizations using Safe Align noted a remarkable 31.3% decline in injury rates compared to their peers, with improvements escalating to an impressive 68% over time.
Methodology of the Study
The research spearheaded by Professor Francisco Brahm and Chiara D’Ambrosio employed the Difference-in-Differences (DiD) methodology—an advanced statistical approach typically utilized in economic studies to establish causality in scenarios where randomized control trials are impractical. This method leveraged a decade’s worth of injury data from over 800 companies across 27 diverse industries, utilizing two control groups to validate the findings robustly.
Understanding the Results
Professor Brahm expressed confidence in the findings, stating, “The reductions we observed in injury rates are causal, not mere correlations.” Such significant effect sizes exceeding 15% in business interventions are extremely rare. The 31% reduction observed with Safe Align not only stands as a statistically valid outcome but is remarkably distinctive in the field, indicating effective practices at work.
Industry Impact and Performance
Furthermore, the study highlighted how Safe Align consistently outperformed sector norms for safety interventions and maintained its effectiveness well beyond the initial implementation phases. Unlike traditional safety programs focused mainly on compliance, Safe Align captures the essence of human and organizational dynamics that contribute to workplace incidents. By empowering leaders with the necessary mindset and tools, the program fosters an environment of learning, accountability, and proactive risk management.
Leadership and Cultural Transformation
Ryan Gallagher, Senior Vice President of Advisory & Training at DEKRA North America, shared his thoughts on the study’s findings: “This validates our longstanding belief that Safe Align enhances workplace safety.” He reflected on the pride DEKRA feels as one of the few organizations willing to subject its solutions to such thorough and transparent academic examination. This partnership with the London Business School emphasizes DEKRA's dedication to outcomes that matter—not just in figures but in the lives safeguarded, injuries averted, and strength added to organizations.
Commitment to Transparency and Credibility
In emphasizing DEKRA's distinctive strategy, Professor Brahm remarked on the rarity of a company subjecting its proprietary systems to independent academic evaluation. DEKRA’s readiness to transparently share its data and findings establishes a new benchmark for integrity and scientific credibility within the safety industry.
Taking Action for Safer Workplaces
In a fostering spirit for organizations aiming to enhance safety, DEKRA North America encourages leaders to explore the transformative capabilities of the Safe Align System. By prioritizing both leadership development and cultural change, companies stand to create safer workplaces for their employees.
