Say this
- Today's top hazard is on the board. Here is what could happen, and here are the controls we have put in place.
- The controls are not optional. If one is missing on site, the job is not safe to start.
- We rate each risk by how bad and how likely. Anything rated high does not go ahead until we bring it down.
- Removing the hazard beats any PPE. If you see a way to cut the hazard out of the job, tell me.
- Watch for changes: a new tool, a new chemical, rain, a new crew next to you. A change means we check the assessment again.
- Report near misses. Each one tells us the assessment missed something.
- If the job does not match the plan, stop and call me. Nobody will be blamed for stopping.
Ask the crew
- What is the biggest hazard in your task today?
- What control stops it from hurting you?
- What would make you stop the job and call me?
- Has anything changed since yesterday that we should add?
Show them
- The risk assessment for today's task. Point to the high and medium rows.
- One control on site that came from the assessment, such as a guard-rail or barricade.
