Safety Moment 1
RULE #1: REPORT ALL INCIDENTS
A worker is required to report all kind of incidents occurring at the working place. These incidents include first aid, near miss, environmental impact, any change to the worker’s health.
Reporting an incident will lead to correction as well as reoccurrence.

Safety Moment 2
RULE #1: FATIGUE
Fatigue can be fatal specially when you are driving a vehicle. The problem is that a worker doesn’t even know he is under fatigue influence.
If a worker is under fatigue influence, he’ll imagine conditions when they don’t exist. Now sudden reaction to those imaginary conditions will lead to the fatal accident.
People Take drugs to keep themselves calm, drivers use a lot of drugs to drive a long hop but in fact they are deteriorating the situation.
The best remedy is pull off the vehicle off the road and take rest. If the journey is long, make frequent stops, take nap, drink hot beverages e.g., tea, coffee etc and when ready continue your journey.

Safety Moment 3
RULE #1: MALARIA
Malaria is a disease that spreads due to a parasite transferred from human to human due to bite of an infected mosquito.
It’s dangerous and if not treated on time, turns out deadly. For treatment, preventive medicines are taken, but prevention doesn’t end here. Many times, workers have to work in areas where malaria is prevailing. For prevention, wear long sleeve clothes, apply insect/mosquito repellents on body. Mosquito spray can be used in rooms to kill mosquito.

Safety Moment 4
RULE #1: LADDER
Mostly accidents are fatal when wrong ladder is used for work or used without safety. When climbing the ladder 3-point contact should be maintained. Secure the ladder at bottom and top. It should extend 3 ft above the landing point.
75° angle should be maintained between the ladder and wall. Worker is not supposed to carry any equipment/ tool/ load when climbing the ladder. Moreover use of tool pocket/ tool basket is mandatory to shift load from ground to height. Place the ladder at a non-slippery surface.

Safety Moment 5
RULE #1: FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE EMERGENCY READINESS CAN SAVE LIVES.
Conduct fire drills on regular intervals. Ensure 100% participation and record management, as well as everyone is aware of fire extinguisher’s placement, evacuation routes, and safe assembly areas.
Inspection of fire extinguishers should be done by a competent person on regular basis and they should be placed at a visible location.
In case of emergency direct everyone to proceed towards predetermined assembly area, conduct head count and leave area if no one is missing.

Safety Moment 6
RULE #1: HEAT
When a worker is working in hot weather or heat, he’ll sweat. Perspiration evaporates and helps in cooling down his body.
If the working environment is hot & humid too, then the worker is in danger and it is initial signal.
The harder it is to cool off the body, suffering heat related illness becomes more easier.
Wear light and loose clothes, keep hat on head, avoid working in heat/sun, drink juices and water in large quantity to keep yourself hydrated. Plan work to ensure hot time is avoided and everyone goes to shelter.

Safety Moment 7
RULE #1: DISTRACTED DRIVING
JUST DRIVE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING
Behind the wheel, nothing is important than driving. Mostly accidents occur due to distraction during driving. Driving is a very dangerous job. Driving requires continuous active mind and situational awareness and immediately reaction ability. Always stay aware of road condition, surroundings, as well as traffic coming from other sides.
Distraction is use of cell phone for message/call, eating, drinking, listening to loud music, apply makeup, or do anything when you are driving.
Everyday people get killed because of driver’s distraction. Don’t be one of these people.

Safety Moment 8
RULE #1: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
SAFETY IS NOT JUST ABOUT TAKING PRECAUTIONS, IT IS ABOUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL
“See It, Own It” is a famous phrase and it fits the Health and Safety field very well. If you see any unsafe condition, any unsafe act, or any hazard at any location, don’t just walkaway. Take responsibility – Report it – Get it Correct – Save Others.
If it is not possible to do something about it, just ensure everyone is away from the unsafe zone and the relevant person has been notified.
12
Safety Moment 9
RULE #1: STOP WORK
Sometimes the best thing you can do is, STOP WORKING and save lives.
If there is a hazard or a job that is not being performed correctly as per Standard Operating Procedure, and its continuation can endanger the lives of others, stop the job.
Communicate your workmates to ensure that everyone is out of danger zone. The hazard is removed or the work is executed as per SOP.
It is one of the most successful exercise in the last decade that has averted a lot of incidents.
13
Safety Moment 11
RULE #1: PRESSURE AWARENESS
Pressure Safety requires the knowledge & awareness of potential Pressure Hazards.
Pressure operations is present in every industry and operation. In oil and gas sector it is part of formation testing, well testing, and pressure testing.
It must be remembered every step of pressure testing is potential pressure hazard. Monitor the pressure in the system through gauges. Use training, and PPEs for personal safety.
Pressure release valve is installed to released the pressure in emergency situation, so USE IT.
Anytime pressure starts increasing and you don’t know what to do, simple STOP THE JOB, ALERT OTHERS, & perform JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS.
14
Safety Moment 12
RULE #1: CHEMICAL SAFETY
Compatibility is fundamental element of Chemical Safety.
Everyone knows that oil and water don’t mix together. Similarly there is a family of chemicals in our daily life that don’t require to be stored and used together.
If someone combines incompatible chemicals or store them in close proximity, the result will be adverse reaction that can lead to loss.
If you are not trained to handle the chemicals don’t do it. Let the competent person do it for you. If you see anything that is stored in an inappropriate way, inform the responsible person or someone who is trained to do so.
15
Safety Moment 13
RULE #1: KNOW ABOUT YOUR DESTINATION
It is safest to know and share about your destination before .
Got a trip for field visit? The best thing to do first is to know about your destination and roads leading to your destination.
What kind of weather, law and order situation is there.
Inform your parents, friends and family members, about your destination, the route you are going to take, as well as when will you reach there.
If during trip your vehicle becomes disable, stay with it, use cell phone and call for help. Use cell GPS or compass to share your location.
The more planning done in advance leads to successful and safe journey.
16
Safety Moment 14
RULE #1: KNOW SAFETY SIGNS
Ignoring the safety signs leads to dangerous results.
You are in the lab, travelling to somewhere or doing job on the field, never ignore the safety sings placed there. Those safety signs are placed to give the warning and alert others about potential hazards.
Your job is to recognize them and obey them. If you don’t know what is their meaning or what are they describing, stop the job and perform Job Safety Analysis.
17
Safety Moment 15
RULE #1: MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE (MOC)
Careless management of change can jeopardize the whole operation.
Many incidents and business losses are directly related to the uncontrolled or poor management of a minor or major workplace changes.
Management of Change (MOC) is the introduction of new processes, machinery, chemicals, equipment, tools, activities, even new workers.
If there is any change, don’t ignore it. Managing any change and doing the right thing is the smart thing to do.
18
Safety Moment 16
RULE #1: LOAD SECUREMENT
Unsecured load can cause a lot of trouble.
Failure to consider a lot of factor when containing, immobilizing, and securing truck cargo, can lead to severe consequences.
Things to check – double check include cargo weight, height, width, stacking, tie-down, anchoring points, blocking the movement of cargo, and bracing.
Before start of journey, pre-trip inspection must be down and during the journey whenever stop, check the cargo.
The main intent of doing so is to ensure there is no leaking, movement of cargo, spilling, or falling from vehicle. Securement is entire requirement.

Safety Moment 17
RULE #2: CHEMICAL SAFETY
Knowledge and Cuation are key elements in the Chemical Safety.
From field to lab, to the plant and beyond these, chemicals are found in every oil and gas related industry. Safety, proper equipment, and apparatus is required when working with these chemicals.
Don’t handle them if you don’t have proper knowledge, training, and understanding. Before handling and storage, ensure you have reviewed Safety Data Sheet of the product, as well as you know what kind of Personal Protective Equipment are to be used. Don’t mix the chemicals if you don’t know about consequences or never store them together if they are highly reactive.

Safety Moment 18
RULE #1: CONFINED SPACE
Develop an Exit Plan before Entering Confined Space.
It is mandatory to make arrangements to get out before entering the confined space. Identification of hazards and associated risk is not enough. An employer must ensure the arrangements are made to counter these hazards and their risk level is decreased.
A rescue plan and emergency procedure must be in place. Communication, extraction equipment, shutdown capabilities, first-aid, firefighting, and ventilation arrangements must be made before job start. Only authorized workers should be allowed to enter the space with valid permit.
21
Safety Moment 19
RULE #1: DRIVING SAFETY
Driving in severe weather always leads to accident.
Driving is a very dangerous activity. Driving in severe weather makes it more dangerous. Slowing down in severe weather is not only option left behind.
Make sure you have stopped at a safe location and wait till the weather gets clear. If it is raining, park at safe location, and move to shelter. If there is no shelter, stay in the car, roll up the windows and wait for clear weather.
During severe weather, road surface gets slippery and vehicle gets out of control.
22
Safety Moment 20
RULE #1: DROP OBJECTS
Drop objects are one of the biggest reason behind injuries on site.
It is a proven fact that the falling objects are the main cause behind the serious injuries..
These incidents can be prevented through physical and administrative management. The working platforms should be provided with Toe Boards. The use of tool pockets and tool rope should be mandatory. Area around the work at height as well as lifted load should be restricted, barricaded, and safety signs should be posted.
Workers should be trained and informed about the hazards, the work activity under process, and how to avoid incident.
23
Safety Moment 21
RULE #1: HAND TOOLS INSPECTION
Use of uninspected hand tools can lead to severe consequnces.
Use of hand tools is part of our routine life. These hand tools can’t take care of themselves. User is responsible to ensure their safety and must inspect them before use.
Improper maintenance and total lack of it can lead to unwanted consequences. Cracked wooden handle, broken or worn off insulation, as well as crack in the structure of the tool can lead to injuries. Powered tools with worn off insulation can lead to electrocution, and shock.
Always inspect the tools before using them, and maintain them as per the recommendations made by the manufacturer. Damaged and poorly tools should be discarded and removed from the worksite.
24
Safety Moment 22
RULE #1: FALLING FROM HEIGHT
When proper equipment is used, the risk of falling from height decreases.
Whenever working at height, take precautions to minimize the risk of falling. Only competent, trained and authorized person should work at height. Precautions should be taken and Personal Fall Arrest System should be used. Use of shock absorber is mandatory to minimize the fall distance. Harness should be attached to firm lanyard.
Stair, scaffolding, can be used but at heightened areas, use boom lifts to avoid climbing the stair.
25
Safety Moment 23
RULE #1: HEAVY LIFTING
Heavy lifting requires a lot of experience along brain and brawn.
Whenever heavy lifting activity is required to perform, make sure Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is available, everyone around the working area is made aware of the activity. For critical lifting, develop a lifting plan.
Use of inspected, certified equipment, lifting gear, and manpower is mandatory. Knowledge about weight of the lift and equipment’s lifting capacity is essential part of the job. Never walk or stand under the lifted load. If there is any doubt about the task, or anyone can get harmed, stop the job.
26
Safety Moment 25
RULE #1: CONFINED SPACE GAS TESTING
The atmosphere in the confined space is more threatening than space.
In the confined space, the environment can be hazardous, even life threatening. This is the reason that knowledge about the area should be acquired.
The environment in the confined space changes rapidly, so it is necessary to test the area for any hazardous gas presence, oxygen level, hazardous agents using gas tester.
Use of portable gas testers is also mandatory when working in such areas.
27
Safety Moment 26
RULE #1: SEVERE WEATHER
Any kind of work in severe weather can be dangerous. For example, lifting in the high winds can lead to accident and collapse of the crane itself.
When working in the field, ensure the work is done before weather get dangerous. Special arrangements must be made to ensure the equipment and material is safe and secured during the severe weather.
All the workers should terminate the work activities, secure the equipment and tools and move to the shelter to avoid the incident. Stay there until the weather conditions get normal.

Safety Moment 27
RULE #1: LIFTING & HOISTING
Only perform the lifting & hoisting job if you are qualified and authorized to do it.
Only perform job;
29
Safety Moment 28
RULE #1: SLIP, TRIP & FALL
Implementation and following a few safety steps can prevent slip, trip, and fall incidents.
Post safety signs to alert others when cleaning process is going on. Use barriers to prevent the entry in the premises when cleaning. Housekeeping should perform the duty out of office timing to minimize the risk of slip and fall incidents.
Keep all the passages clear of trailing wires, rubbish and other items that can lead to trip and fall. Uneven flooring should be removed and if not possible, use tape to mark it. Good illumination level can also play role in decreasing the risk level.
30
Safety Moment 29
RULE #1: TEXTING WHILE DRIVING
Texting while driving is as dangerous as other things.
When driving at greater speed, and texting simultaneously, the occurrence of an accident is certain. Those people who take off their eyes from road, immediately put their, passenger, pedestrian, and other driver’s lives in danger.
Don’t compose or read a massage when driving. If you have to do so, stop the vehicle at side and ensure it is in safe zoon. Then use cell phone.
31
Safety Moment 30
RULE #1: LADDER FOR WORK AT HEIGHT
A very common work activity is ascending and then descending the work ladder. When doing so, be mindful of every possible outcome in case of incident.
Make sure, the ladder is properly secured on top and bottom. It must extend 3ft above the landing point. Place the ladder at an angle of 75° against the wall.
Place the ladder on firm ground. When climbing the ladder, don’t carry any tools or load with you.
Always maintain 3 point contact. Only one person should climb the ladder at one time. Appropriate ladder for task should be used.
32
Safety Moment 31
RULE #1: DROPPED OBJECTS
ANY DROP ZONE AT WORK PLACE ALWAYS HAS POTENTIAL OF DROPPED OBJECTS.
Establish Dropped Object Prevention Strategy for site.
Stay out of DROP zone;
Restrict the entry to the workplace through physical barriers. Post signs to alert the others about potential hazard.
Never stand below any suspended load. Use PPEs to decrease the damage caused by DROPPED Objects.
33
Safety Moment 32
RULE #1: SAFETY CHECKS
ANY SAFETY CHECK BEFORE ACT IS A SMART PREPARATION THAT PAYS BACK.
Whether you are at worksite, in a shop, or warehouse, before perform any task, ensure that;
If there is any No to your question, STEP BACK from task. Reanalyse the situation, if necessary ask for support and only perform task when you are satisfied.
34
Safety Moment 33
RULE #1: DROP INCIDENTS REDUCTION
IMPLEMENTATION OF SUITABLE CONTROLS CAN REDUCE THE DROP OBJECT INCIDENTS AND INJURIES.
Key controls include;
No one should be allowed to enter the area where the risk of drop objects exist. Minimize the exposure to Line of Fire.
Remove the objects from height. Reduce the work at height, and ensure all tools are tied to body or secured in the tool pocket. The work platform must come with toe boards to prevent the fall of rolling objects.
Ensure everyone wears PPEs and knows its importance. Sometimes, it is impossible to remove the hazard completely.
