What does it mean in practice?
• Ensure employer-approved procedures and instructions in place
before starting work and when there are changes
– left hand needs to know what the right hand is doing
• Assume that what can go wrong, does go wrong
– plan for Murphy’s (or Sod’s) law!
• Be risk-focused not task-driven
– make your luck
• Be hands on not hands off when managing and supervising
– be there for high risk activities
• Be hands off not hands on when dealing with danger
– stay away from hazards
• Match the control to the risk
– apply the hierarchy of control

Ask yourself ….
• What can kill or seriously hurt my people?
• What are the key controls that will keep them safe?
• Are these controls in place and will they work when
needed?
