Here's how you can ensure workplace safety as a team leader.

Keeping people safe is NOT the job of the "Safety Officer" or the "Team Leader". Safety at the workplace starts with a change in mindset that it's everyone's responsibility. Take for example, machine operator must ensure he operates the machine safely in a way that doesn't cause harm to himself or others. Similarly, anyone within close proximity to the machine must ensure he is at a safe distance. That's why it's important to have toolbox meetings to enforce safe behaviors.

Don't do it alone. Involve everyone. At meetings, seek the views of others. Allowing others to express themselves gives you the opportunity to see how they perceive things and their approach to behavioural safety. Then if there are differences, you can discuss further to reach an agreement 🤝. Lead by involving all others

An example that I’ve seen to be effective, make it your mission to bring workers home safe from high hazard jobs. Lead by example….. your team will follow. As a leader, it’s your job to educate, demonstrate a strong Safety Culture. Build trust & understanding of the importance of Safety, regardless of the task at hand.

First and foremost, it is imperative that my team understands that individual safety is a moral matter, and that no one should go to work in fear of harm. To reinforce this perspective as a culture within our organization, I can implement clear policies and procedures on how to perform tasks without jeopardizing health and safety. Additionally, I must ensure that workers receive adequate training for carrying out tasks, and that effective communication is implemented to identify and mitigate any potential hazards.

Safety is a conversation not a lecture. During team meetings, incorporate short safety quizzes or "what-if" scenarios to spark discussions. This keeps safety at the forefront of everyone's mind and encourages everyone to participate. By working together to identify and solve potential problems, we build a sense of shared ownership for safety, making it a team effort, not just a top-down directive.

Conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential hazards in the workplace. Assess the likelihood and severity of each risk and prioritize mitigation measures accordingly. Involve employees in the risk assessment process to gain valuable insights and perspectives.

Effectuer des évaluations approfondies des risques est essentiel pour la sécurité au travail. Identifiez les dangers potentiels et déterminez leur risque, puis mettez en œuvre des mesures de contrôle pour les éliminer ou les réduire. Révisez régulièrement les évaluations, notamment lors de changements dans les processus ou l'équipement.

This action will involve the preparation of documentation (work order, preliminary risk analysis, work permit, daily safety dialogue. Massive monitoring of critical (high risk) activities and implementation of specific protective tools and equipment for the activity carried out. Shared management is important, where employees must be engaged in order to identify new risks, whether due to unsafe conditions or unsafe acts that may be identified.

Organiser régulièrement des sessions de sensibilisation pour rappeler les bonnes pratiques et les nouveaux risques. Marquer clairement les zones dangereuses avec des panneaux de signalisation.

Me parece que más exhaustivo debería pensarse como algo macro, teniendo como principal herramienta, la colaboración del equipo de trabajo involucrado para ajustar de la mejor forma posible. Y si, luego mantener actualizado.

Uma liderança preparada é uma liderança que investe em conhecimento o tempo todo Treinamentos tanto para a liderança quanto para a equipe é essencial para atualizar e poder levar o que há de mais moderna e eficaz para implantar um Comportamento Seguro de qualidade Tanto a parte técnica quanto a parte comportamental devem estar adaptados e alinhados com a cultura e procedimentos da empresa

Casques de sécurité : Pour protéger la tête des chutes d'objets. • Gants de protection : Pour protéger les mains des coupures et des abrasions. • Chaussures de sécurité : Pour protéger les pieds des chutes d'objets lourds et des perforations. • Lunettes de protection : Pour protéger les yeux des débris et des éclaboussures. • Harnais de sécurité : Pour les travaux en hauteur.

Provide regular safety training sessions for your team members. This includes training on how to use equipment safely, emergency procedures, and any specific safety protocols relevant to your industry.

La capacitación tiene que ser constante, desde la formalidad de un plan anual de capacitación hasta las charlas de 5 minutos, recorridos y feedback in situ para reforzar constantemente las cuestiones claves de las tareas de un sector, área o planta completa

Establish a clear incident reporting system that allows employees to report safety incidents, near misses, or hazards promptly and without fear of retaliation. Ensure that reported incidents are thoroughly investigated, and corrective actions are implemented to prevent recurrence.

Lo primero que debemos tener en cuenta es que debe existir un canal fiable, rápido y eficaz para que un protocolo de respuesta a incidentes pueda funcionar correctamente. Los trabajadores deben estar capacitados y entrenados para reaccionar ante incidentes de cualquier tipo, y deben saber cómo y a quién comunicar el incidente a la mayor brevedad posible. Posteriormente, una vez controlado el incidente, es conveniente estudiar y analizar las causas que dieron lugar al mismo, para evitar que vuelva a ocurrir. De esa forma mejoramos el sistema de seguridad y calidad en una empresa.

Liderança em Segurança do Trabalho deve ser uma liderança que preza pelo exemplo e bem estar de sua equipe Deve estar atento a parte técnica, mas também a parte comportamental de cada colaborador Sinais de stress, depressão, cansaço exagerado, mudanças no comportamento, são apenas alguns indícios que algo não vai bem Sensibilidade, escuta ativa, imparcialidade e muito profissionalismo são a base de uma liderança consciente, firme e acima de tudo realmente preocupada com a saúde física e emocional da equipe "Segurança do Trabalho não é só EPI"

Implement health monitoring programs as necessary, especially in industries where employees may be exposed to occupational hazards. Conduct regular health screenings, provide access to medical services, and educate employees about workplace health risks and prevention measures.

Surveillez la santé de votre équipe pour prévenir les risques liés à la fatigue, au stress, ou à la maladie. Encouragez des pauses régulières et des solutions ergonomiques. Pour les risques spécifiques, assurez une surveillance adéquate pour détecter les signes précoces de dommage.

Checking on your equipment regularly will help you familiarize and better understand your work tools. it’ll also help keep things working to optimal level. knowledge of equipment will carry over to be able to teach others what you know as well.

Mantener los equipos de trabajo es esencial a nivel preventivo y a nivel de mantener un estándar de calidad. Este mantenimiento debe hacerse con conocimiento, constancia y destreza, puesto que hablamos de equipos de trabajo que pueden salvar la vida de un trabajador, como por ejemplo un arnés anticaídas. Este mantenimiento debe verse reflejado en un documento al estilo "checklist" para que quede constancia de las revisiones y del mantenimiento del equipo, y así podremos mejorar la cultura preventiva empresarial.

Develop a robust equipment maintenance program to ensure that all machinery, tools, and safety equipment are in good working condition. Schedule regular inspections, maintenance checks, and calibration of equipment to minimize the risk of accidents or malfunctions.
