Work At Height Safety Trainer - In Partnership With Group 583 - IWH (Institute For Work At Height) at VISCAR INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY LTD
There are three types of inspections a harness shall receive before and during its service life: 1. Initial 2. Frequent 3. Periodic Initial Inspection The initial inspection is going to be when you receive the harness from the manufacturer or distributor. You want to make sure it’s the right harness, meaning the correct size and model for yourself or your employees. During these inspections, you want to make sure there are no visible defects, especially with the sewing, stitching patterns. Frequent Inspection The frequent inspections would take place before daily use of the harness. This inspection will not be dependent on how much the harness is worn, but when the individual goes to put it on for the first time of any given day. End-users should inspect it hand over hand, just as is the case with a periodic inspection. It is suggested that depending on the application where the harness is used that an inspection occurs after it is removed for the day because there are situations where harnesses are shared. You want to make sure if you put a harness back on the shelf after you are done using it that it is safe to use again. Periodic Inspection At a minimum, a periodic inspection is needed once every, and not to exceed 12 months. A periodic inspection is a documented hand-over-hand inspection of each harness. The frequency of the harness inspection is determined by the frequency and severity of its use. Environmental factors will determine how frequently these inspections are necessary.

Hey, Don't do it ⚠️ Overstacking can be dangerous. Here they were lucky so, nothing goes wrong but don't take a risk. 🙏 Make sure this activity is covered in HIRA and clearly mentions maximum stacking heights or number of boxes in controls, Residual risk should be in a low or medium category after applying appropriate controls.⛑️ If this activity is covered in HIRA and appropriate controls are defined then this was a behavioural issue and need to identify the root cause of what triggered him to overstack. 👷 What could be the probable cause for this unsafe act.?

Thinking twice before acting is always really important. That is because being rational is often the best approach to any decision making and taking steps forward. Having said that, when you are rational you have to think big, think wide. 🧠 - Report the incident and the potential hazard. - Report the employee notifies their superiors about the near miss. - The responsible people investigate the incident to find the cause. #safetyFirst #reportnearmisses #savelivesbyreporting ⚠️

It's Friday, let's talk safety. We have all seen videos of how people got 'lucky' from accidents. Within seconds of the accident happening, they appear to move away or the 'accident' misses them and we mostly term them lucky. Luck cannot be relied upon at all times. It can actually run out but safety never runs out. Once you deploy the safety measures in operations, you are most guaranteed to be safe. Luck may save but it can also run out. Let's adopt a 100% safety culture in our daily operations, it is a surety to go back home to our loved ones. Be safe everyone. #safety #oilandgassafety
