10. Plan for Safety
Incidents don’t just happen, they often occur because of numerous factors. So, the same is true for a safe worksite. It requires numerous factors all being executed based on a plan.
Always have a plan, communicate the plan, check equipment being used as part of the plan and control hazardous energy before starting work

Use interventions as positive learning opportunities for everyone, including yourself
Be mindful of how, when and where you conduct an intervention
Remember the person may not be aware of the risk or you may be mistaken because you do not understand the process or equipment
