Safety Energy Loop Framework™ (SELF)
A practical, integrated approach to building, running, and stress testing health and safety systems that actually function under pressure.
Positioning statement
It is designed to grow with your business, respond to real risk, and clearly reveal where your system is strong, fragile, or broken.
This is not a template. It is a way of thinking.
The Safety Energy Loop Framework™ (SELF) helps organisations design safety systems that are equally powerful for building strong foundations and diagnosing system failure. One structure. Two directions. No guesswork.
Static, document-heavy, and disconnected from work reality.
Adaptive, risk-led, and designed for leaders and frontline teams.
What the framework is
Each domain has a distinct purpose. Each one depends on the others. When one fails, the system shows you exactly where and why.
Who owns safety
This is the brain of the system. It clarifies leadership accountability, decision making, and how legal duties translate into real action on site.
When this is strong, safety is purposeful. When this is weak, everything else becomes cosmetic.
What actually matters
This is the spine of the system. It ensures organisations understand real hazards, make clear risk-based decisions, and define controls that are objective, verifiable, and meaningful.
This is where generic safety turns into credible, defensible risk management.
Does it work in the field
This is where theory meets reality. It connects safe work planning, competence, contractor management, and emergency readiness into a coherent operational approach.
It prioritises simplicity, usability, and effectiveness in day-to-day work.
Are we getting better
This is the nervous system of the framework. It turns incidents, data, and assurance into genuine improvement rather than repetitive corrective actions.
Mature organisations do not simply investigate incidents. They evolve because of them.
How it works in practice
Forward direction builds a system that stands up under pressure.
Backward direction shows exactly where the system failed.
Why this is different
It is built for organisations that want safety to be a strength rather than a burden.
Who this is for
If you want a safety system that grows with your business, the Safety Energy Loop Framework™ (SELF) provides a clear, practical, and proven way forward. We can tailor this framework to your organisation and help you turn principles into action.
