A BBS or Behavior Based Safety
program is intended to enable company employees to record safety observations,
most importantly, stopping of work that is unsafe.
Peer to peer method of coaching,
counseling, and encouraging all employees to reinforce safe behavior.
Safety Observation Cycle:
1. Observe people
2. Analyze their work practices by
focusing on safe and unsafe behaviors
3. Talk with them about safety
4. Actively correct and prevent
unsafe acts and conditions
Make a record of your significant
findings – the hazards, how people might be harmed by them and what you have in
place to control the risks. Any record produced should be simple and focused on
controls. Apply hierarchy of control.
Any paperwork you produce should
help you to communicate and manage the risks in the workplace. For most people
this does not need to be a big exercise – just note the main points down about
the significant risks and what you concluded.
An easy way to record your findings
is to use our risk assessment template.
When writing down your results keep
it simple, for example ‘fume from welding – local exhaust ventilation used and
regularly checked’.
Where the nature of your work
changes fairly frequently or the workplace changes and develops (eg a
construction site), or where your workers move from site to site, your risk
assessment may have to concentrate more on a broad range of risks that can be
anticipated.
Always work for a completed risk
assessment for your type of workplace.
You may use online risk assessment
tools
If your risk assessment identifies
a number of hazards, you need to put them in order of importance and address
the most serious risks first.
Identify long-term solutions for
the risks with the biggest consequences, as well as those risks most likely to
cause accidents or ill health. You should also establish whether there are
improvements that can be implemented quickly, even temporarily, until more
reliable controls can be put in place.
Remember, the greater the hazard
the more robust and reliable the measures to control the risk of an injury
occurring will need to be.
Regularly review your risk
assessment
Few workplaces stay the same. Sooner
or later, you will bring in new equipment, substances and procedures that could
lead to new hazards. So it makes sense to review what you are doing on an
ongoing basis, look at your risk assessment again and ask yourself: Have there
been any significant changes? Are there improvements you still need to make?
Have your workers spotted a problem? Have you learnt anything from accidents or
near misses? Make sure your risk assessment stays up to date and all the
working team trained and understood the same.
Controlling the risks in the
workplace is playing a vital role in safe guarding the employees at workplace.
Employees should evaluate the risks
having identified the hazards, then have to decide how likely it is that harm
will occur, ie the level of risk and what to do about it. Risk is a part of
everyday life and it is not expected to eliminate all risks. What employee must
do is make sure you know about the main risks and the things employee need to
do to manage them responsibly.
Generally, need to do everything
‘reasonably practicable’ to protect all from harm. This means balancing the
level of risk against the measures needed to control the real risk in terms of
money, time or trouble. However, do not need to take action if it would be
grossly disproportionate to the level of risk.
Risk assessment should only include
what could reasonably be expected to know – not expected to anticipate
unforeseeable risks.
Improving health and safety need
not cost a lot. For instance, placing a mirror on a blind corner to help
prevent vehicle accidents is a low-cost precaution, considering the risks.
Failure to take simple precautions can cost a lot more if an accident does happen.
Involve all the team members, so it
can be sure that what team propose to do will work in practice and won’t
introduce any new hazards.
If control a number of similar
workplaces containing similar activities, can produce a model risk assessment
reflecting the common hazards and risks associated with these activities.
The risk assessment should cover
all the actual workplace hazards and it must be prepared as a team comprising
all levels for the effectiveness, consider the recent changes, incidents like near
misses/other incidents to mitigate the risks.
Stacking of materials must never be
against the wall and should be well with in 3 meters height. At least 1.5

Get a tire pressure gauge and know
the correct tire pressures for each type of vehicle.
1. Inspect your vehicle every day
before each driving. Check for lubrication oil, tire pressure, engine oil, and
radiant water.
Clean windows, headlights, tail
lights and windscreen etc for the better vision and clear indication.
2. Tire pressures must be set to
the manufacturers recommended pressures. Do not reduce tire pressure to
compensate for ambient temperature. If you have to reduce tire pressure to
travel through soft sand area, re-inflate when you get back on the graveled or
asphalted road. Soft tire flexes more than correctly inflated tires and generates
higher tire wall temperature, which can lead to puncture or tire burst.
8. Do not cause other vehicle to
alter the course or speed.
9. Do not make third lane on double
track road.
10. Check side view mirrors and
shoulder before attempting to change the lane.
