Unsafe Act

Behavior that departs from a safe method and increases the likelihood of an incident.

Examples

  1. 01Reaching into a running conveyor to free a jammed box is an unsafe act, even if nothing happens.
  2. 02Supervisors note any unsafe act during safety walks and discuss it with the worker immediately.
  3. 03When the same unsafe act is seen often, the team asks why, and finds the jam-clearing tool is missing.
