Safety Saves

Stop. Think. Make It Safe.

You found the Safety Saves page because safety matters.
Safety Saves is a simple way to help everyone make safer decisions at work. Before you start a task, enter a work area, or when conditions change, take a moment to Stop, Think, and Make It Safe.
A few seconds of thinking can prevent a serious incident and help make sure everyone gets home safe.

When Should You Use Safety Saves?

Use Stop. Think. Make It Safe. before you:
•Start a task
•Enter a work area
•Begin a job
•Continue when conditions change
Safety starts with taking a moment before you act.

1. Stop

Pause. Look Around. Don't Go On Autopilot.

Take a moment before you begin.
Slow down. Look around. Be aware of what's happening or will happen around you.

2. Think

Ask Yourself Four Simple Questions:

1.
What Am I About To Do?
Know the task and what you're about to do.
2.
What Could Hurt Me Or Someone Else?
Look for hazards, risks, and anything that could cause an injury.
3.
What Has Changed Or Isn't Right?
Pay attention to changes, unexpected conditions, or anything that doesn't look or feel right.
4.
What Can I Do To Make It Safe?
Think about what needs to be fixed, controlled, or communicated.

3. Make It Safe

If Something Isn't Right, Don't Move On.

Fix It. Control It. Or Report It.

If you can safely fix it, fix it, if you're properly trained.
 
If you can't fix it, control access and inform your supervisor.
 
If you can't make it safe, stop and report it.
Only continue when it is safe to do so.
Don't just notice a hazard. Do something about it.
