Vous supervisez un projet de rénovation. Comment pouvez-vous vous assurer que tous les membres de l’équipe comprennent les nouveaux protocoles de sécurité ?

One of the things that I find helpful is inclusion of the entire team in the Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) development to better understand the operational impacts, challenges, and mitigations. The perspective from each team that is impacted by a project is crucial for safety planning and implementation.

Estou supervisionando um projeto de renovação e organizando treinamentos obrigatórios de segurança para todos os membros da equipe. As sessões são interativas, permitindo perguntas e esclarecimentos, e utilizam recursos visuais como diagramas e vídeos. Cada participante recebe uma cópia escrita das diretrizes de segurança para reforçar o treinamento. É essencial que todos se sintam seguros e informados, e esse material escrito serve como um guia de referência. Continuarei acompanhando e atualizando o progresso do projeto.

Comprehensive safety training and followed by a test will ensure the qualification of associates. It must be mandatory to qualify the test for each resource. Periodic audits must be included for further checks and balances.

I like my contractor to submit a site specific safety plan (SSSP). This way you can see how they plan to manage safety on the project before they start. You can review and comment ahead of time vs. fixing something that didn’t work along the way. Also you should have regular scheduled meetings to review the safety plan to ensure they are on track.

Yearly training on job site and equipment use.all sign off. Anything new, give immediate training on use and storage, everyone signs off.

The tempo and content of regular communication is imperative to a successful project no matter the size or complexity. Keeping everyone focused on the immediate tasks while providing a big picture view of the overall project progress will keep team members engaged.

Os protocolos de segurança podem evoluir à medida que um projeto de renovação avança. Para manter todos informados, estou agendando reuniões de atualização regulares. Estas reuniões são breves, mas focadas, abordando quaisquer mudanças ou lembretes sobre medidas de segurança. Estou incentivando os membros da equipe a compartilhar suas experiências e preocupações, fomentando uma cultura de comunicação aberta. Essa abordagem ajuda a manter um alto nível de consciência e adaptabilidade entre todos. Continuarei acompanhando e atualizando o progresso do projeto regularmente.

At the start of each working day, conduct brief safety reminders, especially about critical aspects of protocols. And hold regular safety meetings to address and reinforce the protocols, and discuss any updates and changes.

Safety protocols can evolve as a renovation project progresses. Schedule regular update meetings to keep everyone informed. These should be brief but focused, addressing any changes or reminders regarding safety measures. Encourage team members to share their experiences and concerns, fostering a culture of open communication. This approach helps maintain a high level of awareness and adaptability among your crew. By prioritizing safety and open dialogue, we ensure that everyone is on the same page, ready to tackle any challenges that arise. Let’s keep our teams safe and our projects running smoothly! 🛠️🔧

Lembretes visuais servem como avisos constantes para a adesão ao protocolo de segurança. Estou colocando sinalização estrategicamente em todo o local de reforma para destacar procedimentos importantes e informações emergenciais. Esses sinais são claros, concisos e colocados na altura dos olhos para facilitar a visibilidade. Estou utilizando códigos de cores e símbolos que podem ser entendidos rapidamente, garantindo que, mesmo em situações de alto estresse, as informações estejam acessíveis. Continuarei acompanhando e atualizando o progresso do projeto regularmente.

Visual reminders serve as constant prompts for safety protocol adherence. Strategically place signage throughout the renovation site to highlight important procedures and emergency information. These signs should be clear, concise, and placed at eye level for easy visibility. Consider using color coding or symbols that can be understood at a glance, ensuring that even in a high-stress situation, the information is accessible. This proactive approach keeps safety top of mind and helps everyone on site stay aware and prepared. Let’s make safety visible and unavoidable! 🛠️🔍

Visual Signage: Install clear, easily readable signs at key locations, highlighting critical safety protocols. Use bright colors and bold fonts to ensure visibility. Infographics: Create infographics summarizing safety procedures and display them in common areas. Use simple visuals and icons to convey information quickly. Digital Displays: Utilize digital screens to showcase safety reminders and updates. Include short video clips demonstrating proper safety practices. Personalized Reminders: Issue personalized safety reminders through email or messaging apps Safety Bulletins: Distribute safety bulletins with illustrations and photos. Interactive Boards: Use color-coded notes or stickers for easy identification.

(Rehearsal is very important ) Without rehearsal all the equipment are useless if team members don't know how to use the safety equipment .

A mi me es muy útil manejar un semáforo de 3 colores, donde con el equipo podemos identificar los puntos o servicios que requieren un atención de manera urgente y así para abajo donde podemos definir fechas de atención más prolongadas, teniendo claro que la comunicación debe hacerse desde ese momento al cliente o afectado.

Estabelecer uma cultura de responsabilização é vital para o cumprimento dos protocolos de segurança. Estou designando oficiais de segurança ou líderes de equipe responsáveis por monitorar a conformidade e resolver quaisquer falhas imediatamente. Estou implementando um sistema onde os membros da equipe podem relatar condições inseguras sem medo de represálias. Isso não apenas promove um ambiente de trabalho mais seguro, mas também capacita nossa equipe a cuidar coletivamente do seu bem-estar. Continuarei acompanhando e atualizando o progresso do projeto regularmente.

Establishing a culture of accountability is vital for the enforcement of safety protocols. Assign safety officers or team leads to monitor compliance and address lapses immediately. Implement a system where team members can report unsafe conditions without fear of reprisal. This not only promotes a safer work environment but also empowers your team to take ownership of their collective well-being. By fostering open communication and accountability, we create a proactive safety culture that benefits everyone. Let’s make safety a shared responsibility and watch our teams thrive! 🛡️👷♂️

Es importante que entre equipo tengamos roles de supervisión, a mi me es muy funcional que en mi equipo tengo quien coordina los trabajos y opera en conjunto con los proveedores y otra persona es quien revisa/recibe esos trabajos y valida los costos-presupuestos, compara así no somos juez y parte

Accountability System: Implement a system where non-compliance is tracked, and appropriate actions are taken. This includes warnings, retraining, or other disciplinary measures. Feedback Mechanism: Create a channel for team members to report safety concerns or suggest improvements anonymously. Regularly review and act on this feedback. Visual Aids: Use signs, posters, and visual aids around the site to constantly remind team members of the new protocols. Leadership Example: Lead by example. Ensure that all leaders and supervisors strictly adhere to the safety protocols to set a precedent for the rest of the team. Incentive Program: Develop an incentive program to reward compliance and proactive safety behavior among team members.

Sometimes the Facility responsible overseeing will hold the maximum accountability as the providers are within his scope of work, but, the bigger and more complex projects should trigger the addition of a third party site oversee, who is proficient in organizing multiple teams of construction workers.

Conduct Regular Safety Meetings: Schedule weekly safety meetings Encourage open dialogue and address any questions or concerns. Interactive Training Sessions: Organize hands-on training sessions t Use real-life scenarios and role-playing Implement Feedback Mechanisms: Set up channels for team members Act on constructive feedback to improve safety measures. Assign Safety Ambassadors: Designate experienced team members Ensure ambassadors are approachable and knowledgeable. Regular Safety Audits: Conduct periodic audits to ensure compliances Visual Aids and Reminders: Place posters and signs around the worksite Use digital reminders and updates Encourage a Safety-First Culture: Foster a culture Recognize and reward

Normally on an active construction site, you will have 3 debriefing, one on the arrival before the works start, one after lunch and one at the end of the job as pre-preparation for the next day. Besides this, a Facility needs to keep routine meetings with the coworkers that are affected by the works. I’ve found effective providing a weekly stand up meeting close by o the OH&S board with daily emails updates, in order to decrease the disruption caused by excess meetings.

Active engagement with your team is crucial in ensuring they understand and follow new safety protocols. Host open forums or roundtable discussions where team members can voice their concerns and provide feedback on the safety measures in place. Listening to their on-the-ground experiences can offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of your protocols and highlight areas for improvement. This proactive approach not only enhances safety but also builds trust and collaboration within your team. Let’s prioritize active dialogue and make our workplaces safer and more efficient! 💬🛠️

Soy útiles las sesiones de 30 minutos a la semana para poder establecer lo relevante y poder mencionar los pendientes y/o tener visibilidad de qué y en donde estamos cada uno.

Firstly, understand the changes yourself. I hear over and over upper management members of a department or team talk about changes and updates etc. When questioned by team members, they don't know the subject or have the answers. Secondly, it's fine have preshift/ yourself, you can then have those healthy, effective conversations with workers. It's not all about sitting in an office dictating things.

Clear Communication: Hold a meeting to explain new safety protocols in detail, using simple language and visuals. Written Guidelines: Distribute a concise, easy-to-read safety manual outlining key protocols. Training Sessions: Conduct hands-on workshops for practical understanding and application. Regular Updates: Send weekly reminders and updates on safety practices. Feedback Loop: Encourage questions and provide clarifications promptly. Positive Reinforcement: Recognize and reward adherence to safety protocols. Visible Reminders: Post safety posters and checklists at key locations on-site. Leadership Example: Demonstrate commitment to protocols through consistent behavior by supervisors.

Al realizar un acercamiento al personal hacerlo de una manera positiva pero firme, es mejor acompañar para cambiar paradigmas y creencias limitantes en seguridad.

Recognize and reward team members who consistently follow the protocols. And clearly communicate the consequences of not adhering to the safety protocols and enforce them consistently.

Safety is a cultural shift that requires everyone to think and act professionally and safely. The old saying a tidy site is a safe site is very true; the culture and leadership of the onsite team is vital to promoting an open communication culture where safety observations will be shared and acted upon. Good sites are tidy and well organised from the moment you set foot on the site, the way that labour is managed / access and egresses the site is professional and respectful, everyone knows what to do and when and there are clear organisation messages available. Poor sites I have experience have slack attitudes to safety where there is a fear to highlight issues .... I have been told "what the f@@@ does it have to do with you?"

- Materiais de Referência: Distribua manuais, guias e documentos que descrevam os protocolos de segurança de forma clara e acessível - Comunicação Clara: Utilize diversos canais de comunicação (e-mails, reuniões, quadros de avisos) para lembrar continuamente a equipe sobre a importância dos protocolos. - Monitoramento: Designar supervisores ou responsáveis pela segurança para monitorar o cumprimento dos protocolos e fornecer feedback imediato. - Reconhecimento e Incentivos: Reconheça e recompense os membros da equipe que aderem consistentemente aos protocolos de segurança. - Simulações e Exercícios Práticos: Realize simulações e exercícios práticos para que a equipe possa aplicar os protocolos em situações realistas.
