It only takes minutes but it can save your life!
Check your
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)!
If you haven't looked at your boots lately, check those treads out. Lots of people slip and trip at this time of year due to ice, mud and snow. Brush off dried mud so that your treads can do the job they need to.
And while we're at it, check out those laces. They need to be tied up, not dangling around in the breezes!
Remind each other about wearing eye and hearing protection. No one should ever get angry because YOU are trying to save their eyesight or hearing!
Scratched lenses on eye glasses mean it's more difficult to 'see'. Get a new pair so that you can see where you are going and what you are doing.
You know what to look for on harnesses and lanyards but if you don't, see a Supervisor right away.
Fed up with looking at your own PPE? Switch it up and trade off with another person! Another set of eyes is invaluable when finding defects!
And never be afraid to ask questions!
