Why this matters
A site left unsafe can hurt the night security guard, a neighbor's child, or the first crew back in the morning.
What to cover
- Switch off or isolate equipment that doesn't need to run.
- Cover or guard openings and edges.
- Store flammables and fuel in the right place.
- Lock gates, doors, and tool stores.
- Remove ladders from scaffolds and from reach of the public.
- Tell the next shift about hazards you couldn't fix.
Ask the crew
- What do you leave out most days?
- Which opening is hardest to cover?
- Who locks up on this site?
One thing to do today
Do an end-of-shift walk together and fix anything you find.
