Hello,

My experience says if the reps see that what they do makes a difference they will be interested. If what they do make no difference then the won't.

Thanks Wayne. I agree. Just making sure we haven't missed anything.

Asking this question is part of the research for the risk register.

Can the equipment tip if operated poorly on level ground?
Is the access-way always level?
Could staff ever ignore your rules?

We are looking at the implementing the good yarns programme. In the mean time I found this a good starting point.

Hello,

A few things that are foreseeable.
1. asymptomatic people
2. people travelling from outside the DHB area

I have an app that blocks calls if I am travelling over 30 kph. I rarely run faster than that so it works well. It sends a text saying sorry I am driving. I can override if I am a passenger.

I am finally agreeing with Andrew on something. Catering is the key.

We use Trackme. They would well and the send a message to a call centre for callbacks and then escalation.

Hello,

http://www.habitatwork.co.nz/ the ACC website on Discomfort, Pain and Injury is still very useful.

I would have a chat to an accountant. Usually ACC is seen as the primary and secondary tax is paid on top ups from your employer.

Well done. I will download and have a read.

Pink would be a great colour to use. Unfortunately there is nothing as fragile on most high risk sites as a male ego. I have seen contractors turn down work rather than wear pink on a construction site.

Hello Lee,

I have inherited some. They are key messages to highlight the major hazards e.g Never approach operating equipment without contacting the operator.

I would have worded some a bit differently if I had made them, but generally they are pretty good. They will form the basis of our behaviour based peer assessments. Feel free to email me michaeldotwilsonatcablepricedotcodotnz and I'll send them through.

I have to agree to a certain extent that variation is crucial for successful work. Work to rule is a protest after all.

HARM seems to focus on a negatives (and thus unhelpful)

In

Not sure why you feel pointing out that some things can impede rehabilitation is a bad thing, but I do appreciate the heads up on this.

I found the original post from the British Journal of Sports Medicine for those that are interested. https://blogs.bmj.com/bjsm/2019/04/26/soft-tissue-injuries-simply-need-peace-love/

1. People do not see a benefit (improvements)
2. People do see a cost (time)

You need to work on those two.


BenifitsBenefits can also include random prizes (like training a dolphin you don;t give them a fish every hoop they jump through, just enough to make them think they might get a fish).

Letting people know that an improvement occurred because of a near miss report. I run a "You Said, We Did" board to highlight things that changed because people spoke up.

Costs

Make it as easy as possible. If you get a verbal report don't send them away to fill in a form. Talk to them about actions.

My 2.3 cents (GST Included)

I assume HARM is still HARM

H - Heat
A- Alcohol
R- Running (exercise)
M- Massage

One day early Trudy. Stop it!
