What is the Problem?• Many injuries are due to poor hazard recognition

• Preventable injuries are re-occurring

• Pre-Job analysis has not been completed properly

PJHA Acceptance Barriers:• Personnel struggle with forms

• With forms you analyze the job, not each task..

• Seen as a compliance tool only

• Doesn’t work at home or on the farm

W.H.A.T. is the solution

• W.H.A.T. is a pre-task planning thought process

• No forms, No paper, No writing

• Take 10 seconds to think about the acronym for each routine task.. W.H.A.T. will keep me safe today?

Non-punitive is a MUST!

Commitment over compliance at it’s best!

Ask W.H.A.T. (4 times)• Worst case scenario’s that could occur?

• Hazards associated with doing this task?

• Actions I need to do this task safely?

• Tools I need to complete this task safely?

• If the job has many complicated tasks, use any piece of plain paper or a formal PJHA

• Think about the logo W.H.A.T. will keep me safe!

BBS

• W.H.A.T. will be added to each facility’s CBI/Observation Sheet – As part of each observation the observer will

determine if person observed applied the W.H.A.T. process or used a PJHA and mark as safe or at risk

• The “percent safe” for this CBI may be tracked and measured for effectiveness

Right NOW!• We must be better at:

– Formal PJHA’s & Hazard Recognition– Simplified processes like W.H.A.T. – Self observations– Peer to peer observations

To achieve a Zero Injury Culture

W.H.A.T. are you willing to do?
