OHSssssssss…

Occupational Health & Safety

starts with…

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOOHHH!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Imagine, if you will, a

swirling flame that may have eventuated with a strike of

lightning on dry wood…

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… the awakening of sentient curiosity.. the reaching out of the human hand… the

‘Oooowwww’ in reaction to the heat…

safemeasure.com.au

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

… OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH OUR FIRST TOOL???

WHEN SOMETHING

DAMOCLES”

Damocles reconsiders being ruler-for-the-day…

Bridge that deadliest of all

Chasms – IGNORANCE ! Identify your

hazards… or suffer the consequences!

Has insurance been invented yet?

Sharpness of blade?

Oh, well… look on the bright side… at least my undies are clean…

Which way is down?

@#$%^!!! I KNEW there’d be a catch!!!

Am I faster than gravity?

Strength of horse hair?

How strong is my tunic?

Dang! Is THAT the time already?

So… how’s your safety programme?

Energy…

“Every system is in a state of

decay without an input of energy”

safemeasure.com.au

Energy…

“No injury, illness, nor

damage can occur without an

exchange of energy”

safemeasure.com.au

Energy…

“The greater the contained energy,

the greater the potential for

disaster”

safemeasure.com.au

Safety? It’s not rocket science!

• So… What energies exist?

• How are they controlled now?

• How can those controls fail?

• How can I prevent that failure?

• What will happen in a failure?

• What contingencies might I need?

safemeasure.com.au

First steps to learning…

“She’ll be right mate…”

•The 2 faces of safety: “What if…” vs. “If only…”

•Safe workplaces do not just happen… someone works to make them safe...

safemeasure.com.au

“I’ve got ATTITUDE!!!”

• Change from

• “It CAN’T happen here!”to

• “It CAN happen here”or else

• “It WILL happen here”!

SIRENS…

Siren sings…

… PURPORTED TO SING SUCH A WONDERFUL SONG, NO SHIP CAN PASS BY, WITHOUT BEING DRAWN

ONTO THE ROCKS.HOWEVER, KING ODYSSEUS SAVES

THE DAY!!!

safemeasure.com.au



Siren sings… HE APPLIES TECHNIQUES

FROM WHAT WE NOW CALL ‘THE HIERARCHY OF

HAZARD CONTROL’…

safemeasure.com.au



Siren sings… HE USES MITIGATION, AN

‘ADMINISTRATIVE’ CONTROL BY GIVING CLEAR &

UNAMBIGUOUS INSTRUCTION TO HIS CREW:

safemeasure.com.au



Siren sings… HE TELLS THEM THEY ARE TO HAVE

WAX PLACED IN THEIR EARS - ‘P.P.E.’ & HE IS TO BE ‘ISOLATED’

FROM THE HAZARD BY BEING TIED TO THE MAST.

safemeasure.com.au



Siren sings…

THE STRATEGY WORKS! THE CREW CANNOT HEAR THE SIRENS, & SO KEEP THE VESSEL ON COURSE, &

KING ODYSSEUS – THOUGH BESET BY THE HAZARD OF DESIRE - CANNOT GET HIMSELF AWAY TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE HAZARD…

Siren sings…

THE FACT HE LOSES

EVERYTHING A BIT LATER IN THE VOYAGE IS
