A two-column table specifying situations (triggers) that require you to pause work, �and actions to take before you resume work.
- So you are less-likely to perform out-of-scope work without first reassessing the safety
- So that you know what to do when common situations occur that could have a safety impact.
Example�
This is an example Triggers & Actions table for a hypothetical chemistry research lab.
Notes:
- The Trigger column specifies conditions that trigger a pause work.
- The Action column specifies the action required to resume work.
Best Practices for Use:
- Triggers and actions should be tuned to the work done in your lab. Hence, triggers and actions may differ across labs.
- Develop your lab’s triggers and actions as a team
- Keep the list small so that everyone can reasonably remember it.
- Print and display the finished list in your lab
- Use safety meetings to keep your triggers and actions top-of-mind for researchers in your lab.
