Notes

  • The purpose of the Task Observation is to observe and interact with workers so that hazards and risks associated are highlighted and discussed to prevent injury / illness. Observations should focus on the work methods of the activity and always include a review of the applicable SHEWMS / Risk Assessment. The SHEWMS / Risk Assessment should be specific to the task / activity being performed and effectively control risk associated with the hazards presented with the work. Observations should be focused and of a short duration (approx 20-30 mins). Observers should focus on good practices as well as detecting poor practices and provide comments to reflect this. Stop the job and conduct a discussion with the crew / individual if at risk behaviour or situations are observed. Use mutal discussion to identify appropriate action and gain commitment to change. It is the responsibility of the observer to ensure that prompt follow up actions occur. Enter the Observation into Cintellate as soon as possible with applicable actions from the Observation.
