What is a SMAT Audit?
-
Reinforcement of safe behaviors such as the use of PPE, housekeeping and the use of safe methods and procedures is the most effective form of SMAT. If you see an unsafe act, express concern for the injury potential and try to establish why this behavior is taking place (e.g. awareness, lapse, training, supervision, habit, etc.) and ask yourself "can it be resolved now?". Indicate on the form the classification of contact:
C = Contractor
E = Employee
S = Supervisor
T= Temporary Worker
Identify by name the contact for an unsafe act may have negative effect on the outcome of your discussion.
Note: take time to observe, stop work safely, introduce yourself and the purpose of SMAT. Start with positive items.
