Do Work Safely


Follow the Five

Use this simple 5-step process to incoporate safety and environmental best practices into all work activities:

  1.  Define scope
    Clearly defining a task from initiation to completion helps reveal the possible risks, hazards, and environmental impacts associated with the activity.
  2. Analyze hazards
    Understanding the risks and hazards enables appropriate planning to protect people, property, and the environment.
  3. Develop controls
    Appropriate controls, authorizations, monitoring, emergency procedures, equipment, and training are established and implemented before work begins.
  4. Perform work
    Work begins when identified risks have been eliminated or controlled, and readiness is confirmed.
  5. Evaluate performance
    How can we do better next time? From the planning stage to wrap up, gather feedback, review monitoring results, and look for ways to improve the process.
