Follow the safety rules, they matter

Following rules minimises risk.

Think about it

Safety rules are often based on risk assessments that identify potential hazards in the office or site.
Rules are put in place to control these hazards, such as using proper lifting techniques, keeping walkways clear, and reporting spills promptly.
Knowing and following emergency procedures, like fire drills and first aid protocols, ensures a safe and efficient response in case of an incident.
Your actions affect others, ignoring a safety rule might not only put you at risk but also endanger your co-workers, contractors, or visitors.

Talk about it

What sort of injuries are prevented when we follow simple safety rules, such as holding a handrail or reporting a spill?
Why should safety be a part of everything we do – not just something we associate with physically demanding or visibly hazardous tasks?

Act on it

When you receive a call, move to a safe area before answering. This simple act reinforces that safety comes first.
If a colleague or supplier joins a meeting while driving, kindly remind them that it’s not allowed and suggest rescheduling. Protecting each other is part of leading with care.
Lead by example, show others what safety looks like through your actions. Every safe choice you make sets the tone for the team.
