So what can we do to reduce the chance of putting co-workers in danger? To do nothing is 'abuse'!		Use the safety kit, helmets, safety boots, eye protection, protective gloves & the right clothes. If you care for your co-worker, show by example & use that you agree with the safety kit policies. Be pro-active in keeping the work environment safe. Maintain safety barriers, use lockout tags use only safe tools, check safety signage, drive within your skills and the surrounding conditions, being aware of language differences, complete and promote induction, plus watch out for signs of a lack of sleep or other physical or mental problems.
