Common Safety Mistakes:


Some of the most dangerous situations arise out of common mistakes that can be easily avoided. This
tailgate focuses on some of the more common (and commonly overlooked) safety issues that should
be prevented to help improve safety performance.

 Lack of Housekeeping: It may seem simple, but a


messy/dirty work area makes for an unsafe work environment.
Pallet banding lying on the ground spilled oil and obstructed
walkways all result in thousands of injuries each year.
 Not using Lockout/Tag out on equipment
needing repair: Thousands of injuries are caused each year
by the failure to lockout or tag out equipment and machinery needing repair. Often times
someone knew ahead of time that the equipment was not functioning properly. It is
imperative to disable the equipment as soon as someone knows it is not functioning
properly. This will ensure the equipment does not cause injury or an unsafe work
environment.
 Improper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): It is a common, yet
incorrect practice to wear hard hats backwards, or to put hearing protection in improperly.
A walk around a shop might find face shields that are scratched to the point where visibility
is poor. All of these are examples of failures in the proper use of Personal Protective
Equipment. PPE is the last line of defense in protecting the employee. Therefore, the
improper use of PPE, or failure to maintain and replace defective PPE, increases the
likelihood of injury.

 Not having a process or plan: Most workplace injuries


occur when work being done is not part of a normal process.
It is important to have a work plan for non-process work. No matter how it is done, planning
the work and asking ‘What if…?” questions will help identify hazards and implement controls
to prevent injuries. Complete daily hazard assessments and review with your crew before commencing
work.

 Failure to communicate: One of the easiest things to prevent unsafe conditions is to


discuss what hazards or unsafe acts have been noticed. Communicating the hazards and
failures in processes is an essential element of protecting ourselves and our co workers
from the hazards that potentially exist in our workplace.

Workers Responsibilities:
Each worker shall take reasonable care to protect his health and safety
as well as the health and safety of other workers who may be affected
by his acts or omissions.
This basic responsibility includes.
1. Learning and complying with all safety rules and regulations.
2. Learning and complying with all safe work procedures.
3. Maintaining good housekeeping.
4. Reporting unsafe work conditions or practices to Foreman or Supervisor immediately.
5. Reporting all accident and injuries.
6. Co-operating in incident investigations.
7. Using appropriate Personal Protective Equipment, and maintaining such equipment.
8. Review all job Hazards & Safe Work Procedures.
9. Refusing to do work that would create a hazard to the health and safety of themselves
or others.
