3. Filling Your Personal Safety Tool Box • Topics • Introduction to Safety Awareness issues • “Why People do What They do” • Four States & Four Critical Errors That Cause “All” Accidents

4. Unsafe Conditions • Unknown • Failed to correct

5. Unsafe Acts • Unknown • Unable • Positive reinforcement of negative acts • Unmotivated

6. Combine Two Basic Approaches: • Compliance • OSHA – MSHA – NFPA - Laws • Rules - Procedures - PPE - etc. • Voluntary Standards - AISC • Behavior Modification (US Culture) • External • Culture • Habit • Observation • Internal • Attitude • Habit Significant Resistance

7. Relationship: Hazard, Behavior and Risk • Concept - Hazards seldom change but the way we interface with the hazard (our behavior) varies and our risk of injury increases or decreases depending on the behavior we exhibit. • To a great degree we control our own “Risk Triangle”

19. Hazardous Energy Person Unexpected

20. Sources of Unexpected…… Events - something unexpected happens without you or someone else involved (e.g. wire rope breaks; traffic lights start working incorrectly; coupling fails; hose bursts; etc.)

21. Other People - someone else's behaviour causes or contributes to incident/injury. Sources of Unexpected……

22. Sources of Unexpected…… Self - Own actions cause or contribute to incident/injury.

23. Self - Own actions cause or contribute to incident/injury. Other People - someone else's behaviour causes or contributes to incident/injury. Events - something unexpected happens without you or someone else involved (e.g. wire rope breaks; traffic lights start working incorrectly; coupling fails; hose bursts; etc.) Sources of Unexpected……

24. There Are 3 Types of At-risk Behavior • Conscious or intentional behavior • Habitual behavior • Unintentional behavior Even if people are deliberately willing to increase the risk of a situation, hardly any of them are deliberately trying to get hurt. Something unexpected or unplanned always has to enter the equation.

25. Conscious - Intentional

26. Unintentional

27. Habit

28. The Four Critical Errors • Eyes Not on Task(s) • Mind Not on Task(s) • Being in The Line-of-fire • Poor Balance/Traction/Grip © CERT Nail – Exit – Car Door - Ice

29. The Four States • Rushing • Frustration • Fatigue • Complacency • Cause or Contribute to the Four Critical Errors That Cause “All” Accidents © CERT

33. States (Cause) Errors More risk Less risk (To become) (Which cause) • Rushing • Frustration • Fatigue • Complacency Major Major • Eyes Not on Task • Mind not on task • Line of fire • Balance, Traction, Grip Minor Minor Close Calls Close Calls Hazards with a critical error Hazards Risk Patterns To Become

34. Critical Error Reduction Techniques © CERT • Self Trigger on the State • to prevent or avoid making the error • Analyze Close Calls and small injuries • to prevent big ones – Learn from our OOPS! • Observers Others for the State to Error Patterns • To avoid the risk • To prevent complacency • To recognize and intervene with co-workers • Work on our Habits • Personal safety skills Basic Safety Skills Are Learnable & Transferable
