Toolbox Talk Behaviours
Around Plant
Wh
o H
as?
This months poster designed by Mark Lee
highlights the potentially lethal risks of
working around plant.
Some of these risks can be associated with our behaviours;
• Who has walked too close or on the blind side of
plant?
• Who has walked past plant without ensuring the
operator knows your intentions?
• Who has seen a vehicle reversing without a banksman
and not stopped it?
• Who has operated plant, even though the flashing
light or mirror is damaged?
It’s very easy to become complacent when working around plant,
its human nature to adapt to your working environment…….
So what can we do about it?
But this sometimes means we don’t
recognise or see the ris
ks!!!
P S G
Every single person on site can make a real difference, so what can
YOU do?
• Don’t Walk By, if you notice something wrong
on site don’t assume someone else is doing
something about it - tell your supervisor
• Check plant daily, if there is something wrong
or broken don’t use it until it is fixed.
• Be aware of operating plant -
“Wave Hello Say Goodbye” never walk on the
blind side of plant, ensure the operator can
see you, stay in segregated areas.
• Think about the Inspire Currencies:
♦ Alpha - Never assume people around you are aware of the
risks.
♦ Habits - Just because you have done something before
doesn’t make it safe,
♦ Personal Risk Perception - Your perception of risk will
reduce the more times you carry a task out.
♦ Time Versus Risk - Don’t take shortcuts - it’s not worth it!
♦ Communication - If you think something is wrong then talk
to your line manager
