How we control it
Issue and fit the PPE for the tasks. Show how to check and care for it.
4. Pair up
What could go wrong
Doing the job without support
How we control it
Assign an experienced buddy. Check in during the day and at the end.
- New workers are at higher risk in their first weeks. Encourage them to ask questions.
When to use it
Use it for every new starter and for people who return after a long absence.
Review it with the crew before the work starts, change anything that doesn't match how you'll do the job, and update it when the method, the equipment, or the site changes.
