Transforming High-Hazard Organizations by Preventing Serious Injuries and Fatalities
Strengthening leadership, operational decision-making, and culture to reduce exposure
UNDERSTANDING HOW EXPOSURE DEVELOPS
The Krause Bell Group Safety Loop
Many organizations have a strong safety performance — until a serious incident or fatality occurs. By then, critical exposure has often been building beneath the surface for years. Our data shows that serious incidents rarely result from a single failure. They emerge when weaknesses accumulate across leadership, operational decision-making, and culture.
The Krause Bell Group Safety Loop explains how these elements interact to shape exposure across the system. It provides leaders with a practical framework for reducing serious operational risk.
Built on decades of research and practical experience established by founder Dr. Tom Krause, the Safety Loop enables organizations to strengthen leadership, improve decision-making, and build safe, high-performing operations.
STRENGTHENING THE SAFETY LOOP
Consulting Capabilities Dedicated to the Prevention of SIFs
We focus on strengthening the key elements of the Safety Loop that determine exposure to serious incidents and fatalities. Our work often begins with the development of a safety strategy, followed by initiatives to strengthen leadership, improve operational decision-making, align contractor systems, and build safer and higher-performing operations. Data-driven insight and extensive field experience enable our clients to quickly translate insights into strategies that drive operational improvement.
HOW ORGANIZATIONS WORK WITH US
From Insight to Sustainable Transformation
Organizations typically engage Krause Bell Group when serious incidents continue to occur, safety performance has plateaued, or leaders want to strengthen how their organization manages operational risk. Our work often begins with a focused assessment to identify where exposure exists across the system and prioritize interventions that will have the greatest impact. We then partner with customers to implement changes that strengthen leadership, improve decision-making, shape culture, and improve operational performance.
WHY OUR APPROACH WORKS
Built on Research. Proven in Practice.
Decades of pioneering research and practical experience in high-hazard industries underpin the Safety Loop and our field-tested frameworks. Organizations working with Krause Bell Group report significant reductions in serious incidents, stronger safety cultures, improved operational performance, and stronger leadership across their operations.
For example, one global manufacturing organization reduced serious incidents and fatalities by 30% while continuing to meet daily production targets. In another high-risk industry, a client went six consecutive years without a fatality after previously experiencing one every 16 to 18 months.
