• Over 60% of controllers said they had either fallen

asleep or experienced a lapse of attention driving to/from

midnight shifts

Will the “hierarchy of controls” approach eliminate all mistakes?

• Engineering Controls

– Guarding, separation by space, barriers, interlocks, and etc.

• Administrative Controls

– Policies, procedures, JSAs, and etc.

• PPE

– Safety glasses, slip resistant shoes, hearing protection, FR

clothing, and etc.


Development of Personal Safety Skills

• Self-Trigger on the State or Amount of

Hazardous Energy

• Analyze Close Calls

• Look at Others for the Patterns that Increase

the Risk of Injury

• Work on Habits
