Slips, Trips & Falls Prevention

• Common causes of slips:

oily floors spills

Loose tiles or floorboards that can shift Wet, dry, muddy & greasy boots
 Trailing Hand Technique
-Used to reduce the chance of injury if a fall was to occur
descending stairs.
• -It is a very effective way of preventing a serious injury as the
trailing handgrip on the handrail greatly reduces the risk of
falling should you slip or trip.

2. turning your
body slightly in
order to have
more stepping
1. trailing your
space on each
strongest hand individual stair
underneath the and descending
handrail behind the stairs in a
you more controlled
manner
 Further benefits of “trailing hand
technique”
The slight body
rotation will
rotate feet,
allowing more
boot tread on
step surface

When descending with

forward hand-grips,
boots may not fully
engage with surface
of step.
 Dropped Objects Prevention
• Historically, dropped objects have played a principal role in oil and
gas incidents. This situation should not be tolerated or allowed to
continue. We must eliminate this type of incident.
• Dropped objects is a collective issue and not just an operator or a
rig owner’s problem; it is a common problem for everyone in our
industry.
NOTE: Watch out for specified dropped objects
caution or any risk object above your head!
 Some Examples of Risk Areas
• Rig derricks/drill floor • Vessels/barges
• Areas below lifting operations • Pipe racks
• Cranes • Forklift trucks
• Elevated work areas or platforms • Poor stacking of materials
• Work spaces where equipment is • Ladders
mounted overhead • Scaffolding
• Temporary/portable equipment
• Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)

These are two examples of Risk Areas:

 How Can I Personally Prevent Dropped
Objects?
• Look after my colleagues.
• Maintain good housekeeping.
• Stop unsafe activities by using my
SWA.
• Make observations and report incidents.
• Recognize known hazards, and follow
the controls in place.
• Consider dropped objects in all Toolbox
Talks.
• Check areas after all work is completed,
even if it is permit-controlled.
• Investigate all incidents, including near
Lanyard Used for Hand Tools
misses.
• Secure all tools and equipment when
working at height.
 Confined Space Entry
confined space is a fully or partially enclosed space that:
-is not primarily designed - has limited or restricted
or intended for entrance or exit

The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
• As a group, coronaviruses are common across the world. COVID-19 is a
new strain of coronavirus first identified in Wuhan City, China in January
2020.
• Incubation period of COVID-19 is assessed to be between 2-4 days. This
means that if a person remains well 14 days after contact with someone
with confirmed coronavirus, they have not been infected.
How to help prevent spread of respiratory infections
including COVID-19

If soap and running water are not immediately available, provide

alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60% alcohol.

***Workers whom are sick must notified their supervisor

and are encouraged to stay home
