15 Understanding Why  Understanding why accident prevention is important will help us remain safety conscious.

16 Safety as a value?  Safety must not only be a priority, it must also be a value.  Values do not get shifted, they do not change !  Policies,procedures and equipment alone don’t make a strong safety culture. People Do. Principles of Safety

17 The PELT System  Procedures- Have you been given the latest procedure for the job?  Engineered Drawings- Have you been given the latest approved layouts/drawings for the job?  Log Book- Has your supervisor given you written instructions for the job?  Training- Have you been trained in the task you are assigned to do?  If you answer NO to any of these questions you should discuss with your supervisor.
