Stay alert - every environment has potential hazards.
Make hazard checks as instinctive as putting on a seatbelt.
Be proactive
• Scan your surroundings every time you enter a space.
• Identify risks early - inside and outside.
• Take action and speak up immediately if something looks unsafe.
Eliminate hazards
• Do regular sweep checks of your work area.
• Remove and secure objects that could be used as weapons.
Embed a safety-first mindset
• Pause before tasks - consider what could go wrong.
• Notice changes in environment or client behaviour.
• Make safety awareness a routine, automatic habit.
Safety starts with awareness. Small actions prevent big incidents.
