Golden Rules and SafeProduction

36

Plan all work with risk managementGolden Rules help us to answer 3 main questions of managing risk:

What can go wrong?Golden Rules highlight areas of severe

consequence80% of previous fatalities

How bad could it be?Fatality X Likely (if rules not followed)= Extreme Risk

What needs to be done to control it?Follow the direction provided inthe primary instructionknow the related operational controls

Accept BoundariesIn order to ensure that the risk associated with the most hazardous

aspects of our industry is managed to ALARA we must establish

boundaries with specific instruction. The Golden Rules are the

instructions. They originate from the Operational Controls element in the

Health & Safety Management System. The instructions are a critical stepto enable us to complete the work with zero harm. (See ALARA)

Care for Each Otherwork as a TeamEstablishing, implementing and promoting Golden Rules demonstrates

our care for one another. Not having these instructions in place and

following them can result in the very real possibility of losing a colleague

and impacting all of those associated with the team memberFamily,

Friends, Co-workers. We have to look out for one another.

Lead by ExampleWe can all lead at least one personourselves. The truth is that we often

set the example for many othersnew people and less experienced

workers. We owe it to ourselves and each other to commit to

understanding and following the Golden Rules. Our demonstration of

following the Golden rules sets the example for all to learn.
