Spring Safety Notice
Thursday, April 20, 2023
Complacency:
noun, plural com·pla·cen·cies.
a feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger, defect, or the like; self-satisfaction or smug satisfaction with an existing situation, condition,
Over the years, it has been determined that more personal injuries occur in April and May.... more than any other month. The reason – complacency.
The conditions on deck have improved, no fear of ice, frost or loss of footing. We start short cutting, abandon the buddy system, step up or down with loads dangling on shoulder,
jerk wires without assuring oneself of their footing, etc…
Everything we do in bad conditions are put on the back burner, our thoughts are on spring, kids graduating, fishing, vacations.
When you go on tow, your mind must be on your safety, and job task.
Watch each other, remind each other to pay attention. Experienced deckcrews are at greater risk of getting complacent. “I’ve done this a thousand times,” is not the attitude to have. Look at each task as a new task, and ask yourself "What are my hazards? Am i shortcutting?"
Stay safe and be safe. Each one of you are a roll-model for someone else on crew.
