Safety starts with me is about taking personal responsibility and accountability for your actions. We all have a part to play in making sure everyone gets home safe. Every decision, every action, every moment counts. Safety isn’t someone else’s job, it’s yours, it’s mine and it’s ours.
Our four key pillars
Stop and think before you act
Just because you’ve done it a thousand times doesn’t mean it’s safe. Always use a SLAM approach (Stop, Look, Assess, Manage) in every task you do.
Not safe? Not sure? Speak up!
If something doesn’t feel safe or you’re uncertain, do not proceed. Speak up immediately and support others to do the same.
Shortcuts create risk
Stick to the process. Every step we take has a purpose: to protect you, your team and our families.
Look out for you and your crew
Protect your team like you’d protect your family. Role model good safety behaviour and hold each other accountable.
