It involves following the safety rules, doing a job the right way, and watching out for one another.
There is no excuse of not acting safely:
- I was in a hurry
- The job was just going to take a minute
- I got distracted
- I had never done the job before
- Nobody told me how to do it
- Well, no one was looking
- It was too heavy
- It was too dark
- I didn’t get much sleep last night.
- Take the time to discuss other lists of ‘alibis’ and excuses that people have used and ask what really should have been done to prevent each unsafe act.
- Stress safety pre-planning of the task, having the right equipment and how doing it right eliminates the need for excuses and accidents.
