Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 073

S Martin – 25 January 2008

Urgent Safety Time Out

th
At 11.00am on Tuesday 29 January, all Xmo Strata site teams are instructed to stop
work for 20 minutes (wherever in the country they are working) to discuss and
encourage all others on site to break and think specifically about safety. Our Area
supervisors will remind each team just beforehand and clarify any questions that are
raised.

We currently have a short term spike in business which means customer sites are very
busy with us and other contractors, and we want to make absolutely sure that this does
not result in any incidents

The agenda should be:-

a) The Global Alliance incident safety bulletin.
b) Take a good look around and discuss what the risks are at this moment in time.
c) Discuss why people take more chances when they are busy and what the
ramifications of an accident can be to the injured person, his family, his employer
and his customer.

Team leaders will be asked to get others to sign a toolbox talk sheet.
Area supervisors will follow up and record each team leader’s feedback.
The results will be discussed at the next company safety meeting.

Think safety, plan safely – then we all have a much better chance of avoiding anyone
being hurt!

“let’s make sure that we continue to make our sites THE SAFEST by helping ourselves, our colleagues,
our customers and even our competitors by improving training, helping where necessary and
addressing any issues of concern there and then”
