Observations

Do you ever drive home, pull in your driveway and realize you have no recollection of the drive itself? Think of how dangerous that is. Now think about your day at work… how much of that do you remember? We all have a million things on our mind but we need to do our best to focus and be observant. Here are a couple of ways to improve how observant you are on site.

Firsty, do your JHA. This helps you pinpoint the hazards. Use your JHA all day, after breaks or anytime you move work areas. Try to remove all distractions,whether this is a shop radio or a chatty co-worker. Focus your thoughts and observe where equipment, co-workers and hazards are.

The more observant your are , the less likely you are to have an incident. Make sure your mind is on task. A wandering mind is a sure fire way to take a trip to remember… To first aid that is.
