4. Intervention – The Context
5 minute activity
Why do people want to work safely?
Why do people sometimes not work safely ?
What can we learn from this exercise?
In plenary ask the room 1 question at a time and capture the answers on a flip chart.
Often the list of answers will be longer for the “why do people sometimes not work safely” question so ask the room what they can learn from this exercise?
Be positive about all learning, there are no wrong answers.
Conclude: “whilst people always want to avoid harm; sometimes people don’t work safely and therefore an intervention conversation will help and keep other safe”

5. Intervention
What is an intervention?
Why do we want everyone to intervene?
You and I are responsible to intervene with each other. Failure to intervene is like an unsafe act.
Intent: Understand the importance of intervention;
We said it is key to look after each other and to be committed to follow the Rules
Our focus is on being safe as team;
There is no difference between employees and contractors;
Encourage contractors to intervene with Shell employees;
Everyone should watch out for each other; Make it personal;
Facilitator
After 5 minutes of team discussion. In plenary invite 2 or 3 teams to give answers. Be positive about their answers. Then show the example answers provided on the slide to recap and add any answers not already mentioned by the teams.
Key message:
If something goes wrong, we don‘t want to ask ourselves ‘Should I have done more?‘
Whenever somebody intervenes with you, there is only one correct answer - THANK YOU!

9. How to improve your intervention
Telling people the answer stops them thinking for themselves.
Don’t rush. Take time to put them at ease.
Recognise safe aspects of work activity
Show your concern – What would happen to you?
Ask further on consequences
Encourage them to suggest safer ways of working.
Question and discuss. Keep listening. Don’t lecture.
Asking questions makes people think.

10. Intervention questions
Some questions you can use during an Intervention
What could happen to you?
How bad could the consequences be?
What would an injury mean for your others, like your family?
What can you do to prevent that?
