Horseplay - A Safety Concern

ISO 45001 INTERNAL AUDIT PART 1

Horseplay - A Safety Concern

We might’ve seen a lot of horseplay at our workplaces. People pushing each other,

throwing tools, pulling chairs, scaring others with loud noise, etc. If asked, the

reason given is, “we were just having fun”. This reason is a poor excuse for possible

accidents, which could be slight or could be serious. Far from being humorous, horseplay

is unsafe, stupid and may cause serious consequences. It is thoroughly out of place at

a worksite. It is a violation of company safety rules, lead to many incidents and every effort should be made to discourage it.

 

Part 1 ADNOC & GULF HSE Interview Questions & Answer

Most of us have a good sense of humor and enjoy a good laugh. But a sense of humor

and horseplay are not really as closely related, as they might seem. Horseplay often

carries many of the characteristics of cruelty, and you can add irresponsibility and

immaturity to that too, sometime it will become workplace violence.

 

There is probably one on every job; the practical joker, the guy who likes to make a

bid for laughs and attention by playing jokes on his fellow workers. He thinks he’s

funny and clever. Unfortunately he can usually find a few fellow employees unwise

enough to encourage him. Actually this fellow is dangerous. His horseplay is a hazard

to all his fellow employees. His foolishness should not be tolerated by any of you.

 

WORK AT HEIGHT SAFETY MOMENT

 If you have this sort working with you, it is your responsibility to talk to him

confidentially. Try to make him realize that such acts can result in serious injury to

others. If you emphasize that horseplay is unfair, stupid, and treacherous, any

reasonable person will cooperate in avoiding it.

 

Organizations may have clear policy on horseplay to avoid such activities at workplace and all employees to be trained/educated the consequences of horseplay at workplace.
