1) Overestimating Capability/Experience

1) Overestimating Capability/Experience
1.
A belief that an incident or injury can
not occur due to excellent physical
ability
•
•
Strength to be able to exert
extreme forces
Strength to lift heavy loads
without injury
“I can lift 75 lbs. in the gym ... this won’t be a
problem!”
2.
A belief that pure physical ability can
over come an adverse situation
•
•
Agility and reflexes to avoid
injury
Ability to react fast enough
to get out of the way of
trouble
2) Familiarity with the Task
2) Familiarity with the Task
• Refresher training:
–
–
–
–
–
Fresh Start.
Weekly Review of Long Form JHAs with supervision and workers involved.
Ensure that any changes are reviewed and signed off by all members of the crew.
Safety Stand downs and brain storming sessions to identify causal factors and short/long
term corrective action for prevention of incidents in the future. These learning must be
shared with the workers.
Distribution and review with all workers Safety Flash/Safety Posters
• JHA:
–
–
–
Develop and review the JHA pre-job with all members of the crew.
Have all members of the crew participate in the development.
Ensure JHAs are updated any time scope of work changes or new hazards are identified.
•Feedback:
–
Provide workers with feedback on performance and address any concerns that are
identified.
3) Seriousness of Outcome

3) Seriousness of Outcome
Seriousness of the Outcome
Strategies for addressing risk created by underestimating
the seriousness of the outcome:
•Use incident communications and safety alerts to demonstrate the
seriousness of the outcome
•Use language that more appropriately describes how serious the outcome
could be:
‘Crush’ - instead of ’ pinch point’
‘Struck by’ - instead of ‘line of fire’
‘Death trap’- instead of ‘ unguarded
rotating equipment’
4) Voluntary Actions and Being in Control
9
4) Voluntary Actions and Being in Control
How Do We Obtain Control?
• JHA’s
• Inspections
• Audits
• Repetitiveness
5) Personal Experience with an Outcome
11
5) Personal Experience with an Outcome
•
Keep the ‘corporate memory’ alive:
o
o
•
•
•
The serious incidents that our company has experienced in the past need to
be communicated to newer workers
Supervisors, ‘expert observers’, and the ‘keepers of the corporate memory’
have the obligation to share their experiences with newer workers
Demonstrate that incidents have occurred because of not following a
procedure – “What could go wrong?”
Demonstrate that there have been serious consequences in the past –
“How bad could it be?”
Use Safety Alerts and Incident Summaries from within the company,
from industry associations and from other companies to reinforce that
incidents have and could happen.

6) Cost of Non-Compliance
14
6) Cost of Non-Compliance
A greater cost of non compliance can lower risk tolerance.
Example:
A speeding ticket of $200 – may be viewed as acceptable by some drivers.
A ticket of $10,000 and confiscation of the vehicle
Would a driver be willing to accept that?
7) Confidence in the Equipment
“I’ve Been Doing This For Years”
• What’s the worst that can
happen?
• Pre walk the area
• Understand what your
equipment can and cannot do
• Have you inspected the
rigging?
• Is the rigging rated for the
load?
• Is the rigger competent?
8) Confidence in Protection and Rescue
Gloves Will Always Protect Your Hands
July 21, 2011
Worker’s hand became crushed
between a zoom boom fork and
pipe.
Result: Fractured Thumb
Gloves were being worn during
the incident
9) Potential Profit & Gain from Actions
•
ot setting up the boom truck properly with outriggers fully
extended and in place.
•
oom truck operator sustained a bruised right shin as a
result of contact from the unit.
et This Pick Today, Take it easy Tomorrow
10) Role Models Accepting Risk
A ‘role
model’ can include:
•
A more senior worker
•
An individual that the work group turns to for the answers
•
Informal leader in the group
•
Individual respected by the work group
•
But most of all an Individual in a position of authority
A FOREMAN CAN FIT ALL FIVE DESCRIPTIONS AS A LEADER OF WORK
Mind on Task
Focus attention on task
Stop and Think
Identify and Eliminate unsafe behaviors and conditions
Intervene when work is not safe
Ask you crew,
“What are we doing today to remained focus?”
