Where is your safety culture? (Bradley-style self-test)
Rate each statement honestly for YOUR site: 1 = not at all true … 5 = completely true.
10 Life-Saving Rules (IOGP-inspired, adapt to your risks)
🏋️ NIOSH lifting (RWL & LI)
🔊 Noise — daily LEX,8h
Add each task: level dB(A) + duration. Mixed exposure computed by energy.
🪂 Fall clearance (lanyard)
🫨 Hand-arm vibration — points & A(8)
Per tool: vibration magnitude (m/s², from data/measure) × trigger time.
🌡️ Heat — WBGT estimate & regime
Indoor/no-sun screening estimate (Australian BoM approximation) — for solar load or critical cases, measure real WBGT (ISO 7243).
💨 Compressed-air leak cost
Flow ≈ 1.2 × Ø² L/s at 7 barg. One forgotten 3 mm leak ≈ a small car's annual energy.

🧠 HOP — 5 principles (Human & Organizational Performance)
- Error is normal. Even the best make mistakes — design for it.
- Blame fixes nothing. It only teaches people to hide.
- Context drives behavior. Look at conditions, not character.
- Learning is vital. Operational learning beats investigation paperwork.
- How leaders respond to failure matters. It defines the next report you get — or don't.
Practical starts: "learning teams" after events, pre-job "what's the worst that can happen here?", error traps hunt (look-alike controls, time pressure, first-time tasks).
🎯 Vision Zero — 7 golden rules (ISSA)
- Take leadership — demonstrate commitment
- Identify hazards — control risks
- Define targets — develop programs
- Ensure a safe & healthy system — be well-organized
- Safe machines, equipment & workplaces
- Improve qualifications — develop competence
- Invest in people — motivate by participation
Zero is a direction, not a statistic: pair ambitions with proactive indicators (observations, near-misses, closure rates).
