Protecting Your Assets

You can have the best safety systems in place in the world, but if you are not maintaining them regularly, you can find yourself in trouble when people come to check. Worse still, someone has an fatal accident.
 
This brings us back again to the cost of regular health and safety checks. Its like anything in life if we make it part of our routine it becomes a habit. Your Assets are your staff, the building, equipment, plant etc. Treat them as such or you will lose them.
 
Do you have consistent routines in your business, in your life  ? 
 
When was your last internal fire evacuation ?
 
When was the last time you walked around and checked your engineers were wearing goggles and PPE protective equipment ?
 
Recently during an inspection I went to check the generator – I asked the engineer to turn it on for me. With the earphones left outside on their hanger, he proceeded to to walk inside to turn it on.
 



​Aren’t you forgetting something ? He was NOT in a routine and could be at risk of damaging his ears, due to the loud noise from the generator.
 
Now many people say to me, yes but this is Asia….. there are not the same laws or standards. 
 
Yes but you have the equipment. Clearly what you don’t have is the management system in place to ensure these are being worn.
 
Walk around today – be alert and check all areas.
