[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]You\u2019ve probably got a pretty good hazard management plan in place, but does it actually cover the less obvious signs? From miscommunication to trying to get the job done as fast as possible, here are some things to look out for to prevent any incidents.<\/p>\n

Rushing to finish<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re the most skilled tradie on your team, rushing to finish the job isn\u2019t a good idea, especially when there are risks involved. Ensure you\u2019re taking the right safety precautions, no matter how soon the job needs to be done – it\u2019s better to be finished a day late than injure yourself or others.<\/p>\n

Communication breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n

There can be a lot of barriers to communication on the job site – someone\u2019s got their ear muffs on, someone\u2019s on the phone, or someone\u2019s in the portaloo. If you\u2019ve got an issue that the team needs to know about, make sure everyone is around and not distracted. It only takes one person to not quite understand and you\u2019ve got an injury on your hands.<\/p>\n

Not sticking to the plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might think that you have a better and more efficient way to get the job done, but the original plan of action is there for a reason. There could be consequences if you deviate from the plan and try to do it your own way, even if you tell other people what you\u2019re going to do. Better to be safe than sorry and avoid any potential injuries.<\/p>\n

Improper equipment use<\/strong><\/p>\n

If someone doesn\u2019t 100% know their way around any equipment they\u2019re using, that\u2019s an accident waiting to happen. Make sure that everyone on your team knows exactly how to use any equipment safely and properly. Even if they\u2019ve used it many times, there might be some shortcuts being taken so be sure to stamp these out ASAP to avoid an incident.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”related-post”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Related articles” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%2313143e” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”title my-5″][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”3″ orderby=”rand” item=”918″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1628550835532-854ae345-f610-0″ el_class=”related-posts mx-auto mt-3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
