Worker X's acts in the scenario contravene several aspects of the International Labour Organisation (ILO)

Occupational Safety and Health Convention 1981 (No.155) and its associated Recommendation R164.
Under are some point:

1. Failure to Follow Safe Procedures:

Worker X ignored the existing safe system of work and written procedure for using Electric Pallet Trucks
(EPT). This contravenes the requirement under Article 19 of Convention 155 for workers to follow
established safety procedures.

2. Noncompliance with Instructions:

Worker X took immediate action without planning or considering the safety implications. They decided
to use the Electric Pallet Truck (EPT) right away, contrary to the OTL's advice to wait for quieter working
hours.

3. Failure to Assess the Environment:

Worker X failed to assess the environment for potential hazards before operating the EPT. The main
pathway was obstructed by customers with trolleys, and he did not consider this as a potential hazard
before proceeding.

4. Disregard for Training:

Worker X didn’t followed the training given on EPTs, which included a practical demonstration and
written procedure. However, they failed to apply the knowledge gained during training, violating the
recommendation for training and competence under Recommendation R164.

5. Disobeying Load Limits:

It is not clear if Worker X exceeded load limits, but using an EPT for loading heavy products without due
consideration for load limits could potentially contravene safety recommendations regarding equipment
usage.

6. Ignoring Supervisor's Instructions:

Worker X disregarded the instructions of the Outdoor Team Leader (OTL) who advised waiting until
quieter hours to use the EPTs. This demonstrates non-compliance with the supervisor's directions, which
should be followed according to R164.

7. Not Using Brakes:

Worker X failed to apply the brakes when encountering obstacles and a customer, leading to an
accident. This behavior is in direct contravention of safety procedures outlined in the training and
written guidelines.

8. Neglecting Customer Safety:

Worker X's actions resulted in an accident involving a customer. This contravenes the principle of
protecting the safety and health of customers, which is emphasized in Recommendation R164.
 9. Disrupting Workplace Safety:

The accident disrupted the normal operation of the workplace. Such disruptions are inconsistent with
the goal of maintaining a safe and healthy working environment, as mandated by Convention No. 155.

10. Violation of Emergency Procedures:

After the accident, Worker X failed to apply emergency procedures and did not act as expected in a crisis
situation. This non-compliance contradicts the requirement of Article 19 for workers to cooperate with
emergency procedures.

11. Failure to Report and Record Incidents:

It is important for workers to report accidents and incidents. Worker X's failure to report the incident or
cooperate in its investigation as contravene the principles of incident reporting and investigation as
suggested in both Convention No. 155 and Recommendation R164.

12. Pinked In Difficult Situation:

Worker X's panicked when the accident happened which hinder his ability to effectively respond to the
emergency and failed to take immediate and appropriate actions, such as applying the brakes to stop
the EPT.

In summary, Worker X's actions in the scenario demonstrate a significant contravention of the
International Labour Organisation's Occupational Safety and Health Conventions and the associated
Recommendations. These regulations emphasize the importance of established safety procedures,
maintaining competence, cooperating with supervisors, and ensuring a safe and healthy working
environment. Worker X's actions, in their disregard for these principles, resulted in a serious workplace
accident.
