🦺Health & Safety; It's a minefield - but don't tell them that! During product development, Safety was paramount to every change and adaption we made. So when I scroll through the HSE website and see a lot of MEWP-related incidents, injuries and even fatalities, it deeply saddens me. However, the articles I read all had an interesting correlation. The incidents were not caused directly by a fault on the MEWP; they were the result of an outside influence, ie. The Human Factor. I'm guilty myself. You do a job so many times, you don't get lazy, you get complacent. You stop double-checking - You stop planning - You just... do. Unfortunately, one HSE article explains, this complacency led an overhead crane to be operated into the path of an Electrician working in an Elevated scissor lift. HSE inspector Charlotte Cunniffe said: “This case clearly illustrates the disastrous consequences that can occur when two companies each assume the other has taken responsibility for safe working practices. Risk often arises through a failure to communicate effectively.” (source - https://lnkd.in/eTCSa39q) Whether you've done a job 5 times, 50 times, 500 times. Please Be Safe. Please think of others. Please don't risk your life. After all, it's called making a "Living"! #MEWP #Safety #Accident #HSE #WorkAtHeight #CherryPicker #SafetyAtWork

As process safety engineers, our work tends to focus on major accident events but we never lose sight of the potential for workplace fatalities from non-process hazards on the sites we support. At the end of November, Henry Westons Cider were fined £1.4 million following the death of Tommy Mans who was killed by the end of a security barrier in September 2020. The HSE investigation into the incident found H Weston and Sons had installed the barrier a month earlier, and failed to undertake a suitable and sufficient risk assessment. The company also failed to implement a safe system of work to ensure the barrier could be secured safely when open and closed. The Hertfordshire company pleaded guilty to breaching the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. 👇Link in comments for further reading When did you last complete a HAZID on your site❓ Are your risk assessments suitable and sufficient❓ When were they last reviewed❓ Are the people completing the assessments competent to do so❓ How have you communicated the outcomes to the workforce❓ #riskassessment #healthandsafety #workplaceaccident

Effective communication is the cornerstone of safety in every aspect of our work, especially in high-risk environments like confined spaces. As an HSE professional, I've seen firsthand how clear and concise communication can prevent incidents and save lives. Whether it's ensuring all team members understand the risks associated with a confined space job or conveying emergency procedures during a critical task, effective communication is non-negotiable. By fostering open lines of communication, we empower our teams to speak up about potential hazards, ask questions, and share vital information without hesitation. This collaborative approach not only enhances situational awareness but also promotes a culture of safety where every voice matters. Let's continue to prioritize effective communication as a core component of our safety strategy, because when it comes to preventing incidents, there's no room for misunderstanding. Together, we can ensure that every task, no matter how challenging, is approached with the utmost caution and clarity. #SafetyFirst #EffectiveCommunication #HSE

Handling of unsafe photos sent to the HSE department In today's digital age, the ease of capturing and sharing images has led to an increase in the incidence of unsafe photos being sent to various departments, including the HSE department. It is essential to handle such situations carefully and promptly to ensure the safety of individuals and compliance with regulations. The HSE department plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of employees and the environment within an organization. When unsafe photos are sent to this department, it could indicate potential hazards or violations that need immediate attention. Whether it's a photo of a hazardous work environment, unsafe equipment, or a violation of safety protocols, it is imperative to address these issues promptly to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with regulations. Handling unsafe photos requires a strategic approach to address the situation effectively. The first step is to assess the content of the photos and determine the severity of the issue. If the photos depict an imminent danger or violation of regulations, immediate action must be taken to rectify the situation and mitigate any risks. This may involve shutting down operations, conducting inspections, or implementing corrective measures to address the safety concerns. Additionally, it is essential to investigate the source of the unsafe photos to prevent future incidents. This may involve identifying the individual or individuals responsible for taking and sending the photos and taking appropriate disciplinary action to deter such behavior in the future. It is crucial to ensure that employees understand the importance of following safety protocols and reporting any safety concerns promptly to prevent accidents and ensure a safe work environment. In handling unsafe photos, it is also essential to maintain confidentiality and professionalism. Employees who report safety concerns or violations should feel safe and protected from any retaliation. It is crucial to create a safe reporting environment where employees feel comfortable coming forward with any safety concerns without fear of retribution. It is important to note that when addressing unsafe photos, it is essential to adhere to guidelines and regulations regarding content shared within the organization. By adhering to these guidelines, organizations can maintain a safe and respectful work environment while addressing safety concerns effectively. In conclusion, handling unsafe photos sent to the HSE department requires careful and prompt action to ensure the safety of individuals and compliance with regulations. By addressing safety concerns promptly, investigating the source of the photos, maintaining confidentiality, and adhering to content guidelines, organizations can create a safe work environment and prevent accidents and violations. #Unsafe #HSE #Investigation #Violation #safeworkenvironment

Unlocking the secrets of incidents, our investigations aren't just about finding the 'what,' but sculpting a safer 'what's next.' 🕵️♂️ As an HSE professional, I recognize the pivotal role incident and accident investigation reporting plays in fostering a safer work environment. Accurate and detailed reporting is the bedrock of proactive safety management. When incidents occur, thorough investigations not only unveil root causes but also pave the way for preventive measures, mitigating future risks. In my journey, I've witnessed the transformative power of meticulous reporting. Each detail captured becomes a building block for a resilient safety culture. It's not just about compliance; it's about creating a workplace where everyone feels secure and valued. To excel in incident reporting: 1-Promptness: Report incidents promptly to prevent information gaps. 2-Comprehensiveness: Document all relevant details, from the scene to contributing factors. 3-Analysis: Go beyond the surface—analyze trends, identify patterns, and learn from each incident. Continuous improvement is the heartbeat of safety. Sharing insights from investigations cultivates a collective vigilance for potential hazards. Let's leverage our knowledge to make every workplace safer and more resilient. Together, we can build a culture where incident and accident reporting isn't just a task but a commitment to the well-being of our teams. 👷♂️👷♀️ #hse #safetyculture #incident #reporting #accident #investigation #workplacesafety #safetyfirst #health
