Workplace Safety
Life Saving Behaviors
Nine Life Saving Behaviors have been identified as crucial for preventing the most severe incidents. These non-negotiable rules are mandatory for all team members to follow and are supported by our Company's Safety Leadership Standard Work, which sets expectations for leaders throughout the organization.
I protect myself
against falls when working at heights.
I stand clear
of the danger zone from unstable/suspending tools.
I verify isolation
- lock tag and try - when work involves hazardous energy.
I follow
my lifting plan: No Plan. No Lift.
I obtain authorization
and validate air quality before entering a confined space.
I check
that my interlocks and guarding work correctly on my equipment and never bypass them.
I wear
my seat belt.
I position myself
in a safe zone in relation to moving equipment.
I pause
and ask for help from my supervisor if a condition is not safe or I cannot take these actions. If a near miss occurs, I report it immediately.
