Area Authority and Performing Authority are key players within the safe system of work and MUST ensure we provide a safe place to work prior to releasing equipment to maintenance.
Site visits should be performed before and during ongoing maintenance work is a key step in the provision of maintaining a safe place to work.
Ensure a consistent and thorough use of “tools” within the safe system of work is crucial, including hazard recognition and toolbox talk cards, risk assessments, toolbox talks and STOP cards.
Communications – as always, positive & active communications are critical – communications are the essential link between all the different components of a successful task, including: initiation, preparation, delivery and close out.
