It’s not rocket science.

Engage with your workforce once a month = 12 opportunities to learn.

Engage with your workforce once a week = 52 opportunities to learn.

Engage with your workforce once a day = 260 opportunities to learn.

(More if you work weekends)

Get the gist?

Good training doesn't mean it will transfer to the workplace.

Like polish a turd

Don't worry about what others think.

People are always negative, don't let it bother you.

Stay strong.

Move on.

A client who has been trying to recruit a safety manager said to me the other day….”it's hard to find another one of you..” I chuckled..

Implement regular dynamic risk assessments.

Encourage reporting of potential hazards and timely hazard mitigation.

Quick safety nudge

Learning from normal everyday work is one of the best proactive strategies to reduce risk.

Don't wait for an incident to happen.

Good morning everyone except those EV drivers who park at the diesel and petrol pumps…
