20/20/20 safety at the jobsite

[mookmeister80]

I've done some work on power plants for Fluor and they have what I believe is a great easy to remember tool to help contractors stay focused on safety at the jobsite, it's called 20/20/20.
Every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds and look 20 feet around you.
This helps you stay aware of changes to your surrounding environment and by only spending 1 minute every hour, stay focused on safety!!!!

Thought another good safety guy there are not accidents only incidents. Everything we do puts us in a position to be safe or not.

He said even the guy that slips on a banana peel. Its the peoples fault; who threw it on the ground, the two people that saw it stepped over/around with out picking it up, and the one who wasn't watching where they where walking and stepped on it and fell. Any one individual could have stopped this incident from occurring.

I also worked at a company with that poster everywhere. Pretty difficult to actually implement as the busy day goes on, but it can certainly help to keep in mind.

So I gave this a try today and was amazed by how much I noticed. Thanks for the tip, I'm going to share it with the guys at my job!
