STOP™ is based on tested principles that have been proven to help reduce incidents and injuries:
  • All injuries can be prevented.
  • Employee involvement is essential.
  • Management is responsible for preventing injuries.
  • All operating exposures can be safeguarded.
  • Training employees to work safely is essential.
  • Working safely is a condition of employment.
  • Management audits are a must.
  • All deficiencies must be corrected promptly.
  • Off-the-job safety will be emphasised.
STOP™ programmes use a combination of methods to give people the information, skills and willingness to work more safely, to maximize their learning and to apply what they learn to the real world. The programmes feature a three-part approach:
  • Individual self-study. Workbooks are used to introduce basic concepts and to begin safety skill development.
  • Field application activities. STOP programme participants practice what they have learned in their own work areas.
  • Group meetings. After viewing a DVD, participants discuss what they have learned and consider how it can be applied.

DuPont™ STOP™

DuPont™ STOP™ has been helping organisations prevent injuries and accidents for more than 30 years through behavioural safety training programmes. For increasing safety awareness in the workplace and helping coworkers talk with each other about safety, DuPont was awarded the 2007 Excellence in Safety Training Award by "HR Workplace and Safety Magazine."

Behaviour-based safety programmes are available for both supervisors and employees. Training involves a combination of methods, including individual self-study, field activities and group meetings. Programmes include STOP™ For Supervision, STOP™ For Each Other, STOP™ For Oil and Gas and STOP™ For Ergonomics. Supporting products and services include STOP™ Implementation Assistance Workshops, STOP™ Assessment Service and STOP™ DataPro.

STOP™ For Supervision is based on the idea that leaders are accountable for the safety of their employees. This behaviour-based training programme helps build supervisors’ safety observation and communication skills, enabling constructive discussions with employees about safe and unsafe work practices.

STOP™ For Each Other is based on the idea that safety is the responsibility of everyone equally. It helps participants look at safety in a new way, so they can help themselves and their co-workers work safely. The programme encourages a mindset where safety is a discussion that takes place every day, not just when completing a formal observation. Both STOP™ For Supervision and STOP™ For Each Other are also available in oil and gas industry-specific versions.

Work-related stressors like repetitive motions, vibrations and poor posture have a negative impact on performance and productivity. To counteract this, STOP™ For Ergonomics behavioural safety programmes were designed to raise awareness of ergonomically-related incidents and lost time injuries that occur around the workplace.

The STOP™ Implementation Assistance Workshops were designed to train the trainer. By preparing leaders in your organisation to implement the STOP™ behavioural safety programme, you can get the best return on your STOP™ investment and you will help build a strong foundation for the STOP™ rollout across your organisation. The workshop is perfect for up to 20 participants, but you may also attend one of our scheduled open sessions.

The STOP™ Assessment Service assesses how effective the STOP™ programme is in your workplace. We will send a DuPont STOP™ expert to your organisation to observe the implementation of the processes. A workshop will be conducted for your management leaders and supervisors on effective ways to improve all current observation and audit processes.

Finally, STOP™ DataPro™ is a secure, web-based application that makes it easy to record and analyze safety performance data and also generate reports. Insights derived from this application provide managers with knowledge that can be acted upon to improve behavioural safety training programmes at your organisation. Identifying trends and tracking corrective actions are all possible through STOP™ DataPro™.
