Leading Safety Stop and Take 5 for Safety Focus

Over the past week there has been a significant increase of team member incidents recorded. This highlights challenges we are currently facing in managing increased stock levels and customer volumes. On Thursday 26 November, we will conduct a Target wide ‘Stop and Take 5 for Safety’ focus for all team members to take a few moments to consider the hazards during this busy time. The ‘Stop and Take 5 for Safety’ focus will include: Team huddles are to be conducted, discussing what each team member can practically do to support the safety of themselves and their fellow team members Management team members are to complete the iAuditor ‘Stop for Safety’ check (this check) which will be deployed on Thursday 26 November. It covers the below key hazards to ensure the following standards are in place: - Gloves on for safety: all team members are wearing gloves when conducting cutting tasks and when managing fixtures - Moving safely: all decant, replenishment and other manual handling tasks are planned with the right equipment, rotation between tasks and correct technique - Take 5 iAuditor checks: to be completed when team members are planning tasks, to ensure housekeeping is of the highest standards - Reporting: team members are reporting discomfort so proactive measures can be put in place to support each team member A ‘Take 5 for Safety’ video will be shared on WorkJam and our State Managers will share safety focused messaging on WorkJam
