LESSONS LEARNT:

• Both contractors were experienced who knew what to do BUT chose to take a short
cut.
• Lack of barriers and exposed fans in a chiller cabinet put customers at risk. Imagine if a
small child had reached in to get a drink or chocolate bar.
• If hazards and control measures are identified in method statements and / or clearance
certificates you must follow them – NO EXCEPTIONS.
• Working unprotected at height is the most common cause of construction deaths and
will not be tolerated on our projects.
• People are responsible for their actions. Think about the consequences for you, your
family and employer when considering taking a short cut. IS IT WORTH IT?
• IF IT’S UNSAFE – STOP WORK AND SPEAK WITH YOUR SITE MANAGER OR
SUPERVISOR.

Our individual safety is not solely in our hands, we have to rely on those around us to steer us away
from danger and warn us of potential hazards. We need safety awareness to be instinctive and form an
integral part of our working lives; it is this, in turn, that may save the lives of others.
