Focus on the behavioral awareness of worker at project site

1. SAFETY

2. WHAT IS IT ?
• Definition – The condition of being safe.
Freedom from danger, risk or injury
• Something we learn? Who?
• Something we see? When?
• A habit? How?
**An Attitude**

3. Most accidents are caused by unsafe acts.
• You work hard to create a safe workplace for your workers and eliminate unsafe
conditions.
• But what about employees' own unsafe behavior?
• If you examined your accident records for the past few years, you'd likely find that the
root-cause of most of the accidents was unsafe acts rather than unsafe conditions.
• If you read between the lines of the accident reports, you might find that the workers
involved in the incidents had become complacent about safety.
• They'd gone on "autopilot" and stopped paying attention to what they were doing.
• They'd taken shortcuts.
• They'd taken risks. They'd developed an "It won't happen to me"
attitude.

4. What could go wrong
• If you are not thinking about what could go
wrong every day, all day, while you work, you
are not going to be completely safe.
• You need to be trained to think ahead as we
approach each task and consider:
• What we are working with;
• What we are doing;
• Where we are going;
• What could go wrong;

5. Examine the substances –
• Equipment, procedures, and situations that are part of their
job and look for possible hazards.
• Remind yourself to be safe;
• Focus physically and mentally on your work;
• No matter how many times you may have done the same
job.
• Impress upon yourself the fact that accidents occur in the
blink of an eye.
• All it takes is one second of inattention, one moment of
carelessness.

6. Stop complacency in its tracks.
• Complacency on the job injures and kills.
• Spreads like a disease from one worker to another.
• One employee sees a co-worker taking a shortcut and figures, "If
he can do it, why can't I?"
• You can't afford to let complacency take over in your workplace.
• Complacency is dangerous—as dangerous as any machine,
chemical, or other recognized workplace hazard.
• Through a strong commitment to safety training and awareness,
you can create a safety culture.
• Emphasis on alertness;
• Planning;
• Hazard identification;
• Problem solving, and;
• Injury prevention

7. If
A,B,C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z

8. THEN…
K + N + O + W + L + E + D + G + E
11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96%

9. THEN…
H + A + R + D + W + O + R + K
8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 98%

10. BOTH ARE IMPORTANT BUT THE
TOTAL FALLS SHORT OF 100%…
HOWEVER…
A + T + T + I + T + U + D + E
1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100%

• A good attitude toward safety is a
key to preventing unnecessary
incidents and injuries. Your attitude
affects your safety and the safety of
everyone around you, both at work
and at home.

14. ARE WE LEADERS OR FOLLOWERS?
• Leaders – One that leads or guides or one who is in charge or in
command of others.
• Follower – A person who accepts the teaching of another, a
servant or a subordinate, or one that imitates another.
• Can we be both?
• When
• Where

15. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?

• Our attitudes , our leadership, and as followers impact
people around us;
• People observe what we do and follow our example;
• We train others good or bad habits;
• We create the culture which set the tone of our work habit;

training;

impacts the people that work with or around us.
