Safety Bites: Lunchtime
Episode 2 – The Marathon
Kalle broke his leg “running a marathon”. He recounts his heroic mishap to his co-worker Mo in the Power Systems break room. But is he maybe bending the truth a little in this epic story? Watch our latest clip “The Marathon” to find out.
Danger, risk of falling!
Slipping, tripping, twisting an ankle or missing a step and falling are some of the most common workplace accidents. And Rolls-Royce Power Systems is sadly no exception.
Falls can be caused by any number of hazards. Often just by parts left lying around like cables, hoses or makeshift piping. Spilt water, oil or other lubricants make for slippery floors where you can also easily take a tumble. So please, step up and step in to keep you and your co-workers upright by following these simple rules:
- Keep walkways and corridors clear at all times, remove any obstacles, cables and piping, or at least mark any remaining trip hazards.
- Wipe up spills and slippery patches immediately and report any damaged flooring or coverings so they can be repaired.
- Always wear suitable footwear such as work boots or safety shoes.
- Talk to colleagues who look like they might be putting themselves at risk or endangering others.
- Keep your eyes open and eliminate or report any trip hazards you come across.
Many thanks for your support.
Stay healthy!
Take a tip from Mo:
∙ Clear away your gear so your
teammates can’t trip over it.
∙ If you spill anything,
wipe it up.
∙ Fix or report any hazards
you come across.
∙ Talk to your teammates if they’re
about to do anything risky.
∙ Don’t let yourself get distracted,
stay focused and “Be Here Now”.
