Never Take Short Cuts
Every person has a responsibility to keep themselves and others as safe as possible
Stay Alert! Don’t Get Hurt
Workplaces try to keep you safe by implementing various controls. These assist in protecting workers from workplace hazards in order to:
- Avoid injuries, illnesses and incidents
- Reduce health and safety risks
- Provide safe and healthy working conditions
Keeping Yourself Safe at Work
No matter your job, it’s important to take steps to improve your health and safety at work:
- Familiarise yourself with relevant workplace health and safety policies (as provided in your induction)
- Make sure you understand the identified hazards. And follow the safe work practices relevant to your site and job task
- Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as required
- Play your part in safety by reading safety messages and noticeboards, safe work methods statements as well as listening carefully to what is said in Toolbox Talks, following the training provided etc.
Remember that not all hazards are obvious. It’s important to raise any concerns you have. If you are unsure about anything or see something that can cause an injury then speak to your supervisor or your safety representative.
