Working Safely

WHAT?

A tool that shows people how to identify and mitigate hazards in their daily work activities

WHY?

Unsafe working practices are a major cause of incidents

Not all hazards can be removed or controlled

HOW?

By creating conditions in which safe behaviour becomes a habit

By stating clear expectations

By creating a work environment that helps work safely

By creating an intervention culture that is accepted by all

Sense

•Can you see it?E.g. Open valve, driver without seatbelts

•Can you smell it?E.g. Dangerous gasses

•Can you feel it?E.g. Unusual vibrations, extremely warm equipment

•Can you hear it?E.g. Vehicle coming from behind, machine making strange noises

You cannot always sense all the hazards

•Inexperienced, tired, stressed worker

•Odourless gasses (carbon monoxide)

•People breaking rules

•People with extensive experience who become ‘blind’ to the hazards
