PPE means personal protective equipment. Examples are hard hats, safety boots, gloves, goggles, ear protection, high-visibility vests, respirators and full body harnesses. PPE protects the worker from hazards that cannot be removed in other ways, so it is the last line of defence in the hierarchy of controls.
A hazard is anything with the potential to cause harm, like a trailing cable or a chemical. Risk is the likelihood that the hazard will actually cause harm, combined with how severe that harm could be. For example, the cable is the hazard; the chance of someone tripping and getting injured is the risk.
A toolbox talk is a short safety briefing, usually 10 to 15 minutes, held with the crew before work starts. I choose a topic linked to the day's task and hazards, keep it practical with real examples, ask the workers questions to involve them, and record attendance with signatures.
I would stop the work immediately and safely, then explain to the worker why the act is dangerous in a respectful way. I would make sure the task continues safely, for example with the correct PPE or method. Then I would report and record the unsafe act so we can follow up and prevent it happening again.
A permit to work is a formal written system used to control high-risk work such as hot work, confined space entry, work at height, excavation or electrical isolation. It is authorised by a competent person, lists the hazards, precautions and isolations, and is closed out when the job is finished and the area is handed back safely.
A near miss is an unplanned event that could have caused injury or damage but did not. Reporting near misses helps us learn, find the root cause and fix the problem before a real accident happens. It also builds a positive, no-blame reporting culture on site.
