Combating Fatigue
Recommend good uninterrupted hours of sleep before starting a work shift

Avoid substances and medicines that may affect your performance
Do not over-extend to performing additional work
If workload is high ask your supervisor for assistance
19
Combined Critical Behaviors
Surrounding conditions and situational awareness Nearly every task attempted has associated risks or hazards ABS employees in-the-field should be cognizant of unsafe staging or
means of access
Identify the steps needed to complete a task
Pinpoint possible hazards for each step and take steps to mitigate risks
20
Patrolling & Walk Arounds
Be aware of your surroundings Unsafe staging or means of access, including ladders Unprotected openings Tripping or electrical hazards Poor housekeeping Improper confined space entry Other workers carrying out jobs Be aware of falling objects
21
Critical Behavior #1: Line of Fire
Exposure to energy sources (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.)
Distracted driving is also a hazard related to this critical behavior
22
Avoiding Electrical Injuries
Verify appropriate Lock-out/Tag-out
Use fiberglass ladders instead of metal ladders
Beware of power lines when you work with ladders and scaffolding
Mark entrances to restricted locations with visible warning signs
23
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Must be maintained, compliant and readily accessible Head protection – hard hats Hearing protection – ear plugs Face and eye protection – safety glasses Hand protection – gloves Foot protection – steel toe safety boots Leg protection – knee pads and shin guards
Other Equipment and Tools Flashlight and torch (intrinsically safe) Multi-gas meter
24
Driver Safety
Reduce your speed
Maintain situational awareness
ABS personnel are not permitted to use cell phones while operating a vehicle for business

Observe all rules of the road and keep attention to signs and speed limits
Back to Behaviors
25
Critical Behavior #2: Eyes on Task
It is important to pay attention to the task at hand
When you are not looking at what you are doing, you lose the ability to react to events, as they occur, which is your best defense against injury
To reduce risk for accidents, stay focused on the task at hand, do one thing at a time and try to ignore distractions
26
Personnel Transfer to Vessels
Complete a risk assessment briefing prior to the transfer activity
Have lifesaving appliances ready for immediate use
Know emergency recovery methods
Have a crewmember present to assist
Clear areas for embarking and/or disembarking
Back to Behaviors
27
Critical Behavior #3: Eyes on Path
Keep your vision unobstructed when in motion and always be on the lookout for hazards in the path below, above or to the sides of you
To avoid slips, trips and falls, look before you walk and make sure that your pathway is clear
28
Avoid Slips, Trips & Falls
Maintain good housekeeping
Cleanup spills immediately
Stow away tools or other equipment after use
Discard and clear scraps and debris
Coil-up any lines when not in use
Report tripping hazards immediately
29
Keep Paths Clear
Evacuation routes should be kept clear on worksites and at the office
Emergency exits should never be blocked
Lifesaving equipment should be readily accessible
Equipment should not be stowed in aisles, hallways or stairwells
Back to Behaviors
30
Critical Behavior #4: Pinch-Points
Pinch-points can occur anywhere a part of the body can get caught between two objects
Never perform a task without proper training, by taking shortcuts, or bypassing procedures – the consequences could be serious
31
Aerial Lift Precautions
Mobile Elevated Work Platforms Routinely maintain vehicles Lift controls need to be tested prior to starting
any task Operators must be trained and qualified Work within basket – do not sit or climb on the rails Safety belt or harness must be used as a proper
means of restraint
Back to Behaviors
32
Critical Behavior #5: 3-Point Contact
The three-point contact system entails keeping three-points of contact
Two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand at all times – on ladders, stairs or unstable and/or wet surfaces
Wear proper footwear with good traction
