STOP! SHARED VIGILANCE As you now know, the guiding principles of "BEFORE WE START, ARE WE FIT TO START?" and "WE WORK SAFELY" will play a crucial role in helping us maintain Plan Group's long-standing safety culture. This final section of our 12 Golden Rules for Health and Safety focuses on personal responsibility and the importance of doing our part. 12. LET'S BE ALERT! STOP work or stop a colleague when feeling unsafe and ask for support. Why? Because we understand the value of collective vigilance and recognize that a safe work environment is a shared responsibility. It is essential that we all actively and conscientiously prioritize not only our own safety but also the safety of our colleagues and teammates. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM HEALTH & SAFETY MONTH WEEK 1 INTRODUCING THE 12 GOLDEN RULES FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY A preliminary introduction to The 12 Golden Rules for Health and Safety. This new addition to our safety mandate will help ensure we take all the necessary precautions to foster a safe and well-informed workspace from coast to coast. WEEK 2 BEFORE WE START, ARE WE FIT TO START? The first three golden rules emphasize the importance of being prepared and prioritizing safety before starting work. These rules cover preparing the job site, conducting risk assessments, avoiding drugs and alcohol while working, and using appropriate protective equipment and tools. Chin straps on hard hats are now mandatory for employee safety as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce the risk of head injuries. Full cooperation is required, and assistance is available from supervisors and the HSE Team. WEEK 3 WE WORK SAFELY The "WE WORK SAFELY" section of the 12 Golden Rules for Health and Safety provides essential guidelines to ensure a safe work environment. These rules cover areas such as working at heights, handling hazardous energy, managing vehicles and traffic, lifting activities, confined spaces, hot work, fire safety, stability of excavations and structures, and personal health. WEEK 4 STOP! SHARED VIGILANCE Prioritizing safety is a fundamental obligation that requires our active and unwavering commitment. Not only must we account for our own personal safety, we must also be on the lookout for unsafe actions that could endanger our colleagues and teammates.
