Easing back into work after the Christmas and New Year break may seem difficult with a looming mountain of work ahead of you, but before you get overwhelmed with day-to-day activities, take stock and prepare yourself for the year ahead. So, here are the top suggestions from the HazardCo team to help you start the year with the right mindset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Catching up on where things are at is a good place to start. Refresh yourself on priorities for your current projects and plan out the next few months to make sure you\u2019re on top of key milestones. Before you crack into any work, conduct a site review \u2013 after a few weeks away, you never know what might have happened on-site, so be sure to check it thoroughly and brief the team on any new hazards or site changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s also a great time to action change, so think about how your projects have gone over the past year\u2026 is there anything you want to be doing more of or doing differently? Setting new goals can be really motivating. Some popular health and safety goals amongst our HazardCo members include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reduce the number of serious site incidents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Increase the amount of reported near misses &#8211; big or small it doesn\u2019t matter. (The more near misses identified, the safer your site)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Increasing the frequency of Site Reviews, Risk Assessments, and\/or Toolbox Meetings. Per site, aim to complete at least 2 Site Reviews and 2 Toolbox Meetingsper month.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0100% of subbies and direct team members, scanning in and out of site 100% of the time<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make sure your health and safety goals are achievable and measurable. Don\u2019t forget to celebrate when you achieve a goal &#8211; it can help you and your team build more confidence in yourselves as you see progress, and that keeps you all motivated and inspired to continue trying to improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We challenge you to create new routines, such as a weekly Toolbox Meeting that you can do with everyone who is present on-site every Monday morning \u2013 as a group talk about current hazards, progress, key activities happening that week, and how you\u2019ll all work together to manage them. The HazardCo App makes it super convenient to complete reviews and conduct meetings from anywhere on-site &#8211; so you can get your health and safety sorted from the palm of your hand, and even hold the meeting where the hazards can be seen at the same time. Simple, regular routines can be a great way to build the team and effect change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It doesn\u2019t take a lot of time to plan how you\u2019d like to approach the year, yet it can have a significant impact on your achievements and your crew\u2019s job satisfaction. Whatever your goals are, the team at HazardCo wishes you a safe and successful year, and we look forward to working with you on your health and safety goals this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions get in touch with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hazardco.com\/nz\/contact-us\">HazardCo team<\/a> today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With everyone coming back to work after a few weeks away, it is the perfect time to review your health and safety on-site.
