You are a supervisor. You have three work sites that you are responsible for. You visit each site daily. There is also an on-site supervisor that reports to you at each site. At Site #1, you have 15 workers. The on-site supervisor is Jo. Your employee, Pat, works from heights. As a result, Pat is required to wear a hard hat, steel toed boots, and a tie off at all times when working from heights. Pat and Jo, and of course you, have all had the working from heights training. However, Pat frequently forgets to wear the hard hat. Pat has also told you that the hard hat can make it difficult to see items at the top of the workspace. Jo has reminded Pat that the hard hat must always be worn when working from heights. As the supervisor, what are your concerns with this situation? Fully assess all of the potential concerns. What types of actions can you take to improve the health and safety of this worksite (please note, this is a hot topic on health and safety, not discipline)? Present three recommendations that you will implement.
