Health and Safety Impact Video – Steve’s Story

Summary

Hot works are well understood as a risk and are normally controlled with a permit process. In this film, a number of unconnected failures occur simultaneously, resulting in rapid escalation and fatal consequences. One of those failures related to something as simple as keeping the working area clean and tidy. If it had been, the incident would not have happened. The underlying message is that the scale of consequence and subsequent personal regret can often greatly exceed the small inactions that can cause an incident.
