Notes

  • • The purpose of the Task Observation is to observe and interact with workers to 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 minutes).
    • 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 mutual 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 observation into Cintellate as soon as possible with applicable actions from observation
