1. Thinking about Safety Step Back 5x5 “Nobody Gets Hurt”
This presentation is titled “Thinking about safety” as is intended to introduce a new tool or process that we will learn about throughout This tool is extremely simple, uses no paper, has few written processes and is generally just common sense. A BSJA Hazard Identification checklist is available as a memory jogger.
The tool is called stepback 5x5 because that's just what we want. Whether or not you have a procedure or a BJSA, before you start a task we want you to step back, look at the worksite, think about the steps and the hazards and make sure you believe you can start and finish then task or job safely.
It doesn’t get much easier, it is a simple and powerful tool - now I am about to spend another 30 minutes making it sound more complex with a dozen or so slides.

2. Prevention Personal Planning (Stepback 5x5) Formal Risk Assessments
Under OIMS we have many systems and processes in place that act as screens in our day to day work to prevent injuries and incidents. None of these screens are perfect, but we believe that if we have enough of the right screens in place then all injuries are preventable and we can ensure that Nobody gets hurt.
The first screen, furthest away from the actual work face is our system of formal risk assessments such as PHAs. These help reduce incidents through facility design and integrity systems.
Next we have our work management systems such as lock out tag out, safety rules, working at heights etc.
Closer to the individual and the work itself we have the work crew undertaking behavioral job safety analysis - looking for hazards and risks and ensuring that the crew takes the steps to control the hazards.
The last screen we have is the individual. We know people don’t want to get hurt, and one of the most important screens in this process is this final one. Where the individual, before they start something has actually thought about the job, themselves and the environment and makes themselves comfortable.

3. Stepback - 5x5
What is Stepback 5x5 - a personal planning tool to assist you to identify and control immediate hazards as you go about your day-to-day work.
Step back 5 paces from the job
Invest 5 minutes thinking about the job
Examples:
Correct isolation of equipment
Correct tools for the job
Correct PPE for the job
Potential for manual handling injury
So what is Stepback 5x
Well, as I said on the first slide it is a very simple tool or concept. It is a personal planning tool to assist you to identify and control immediate hazards as you go about your day-to-day work.
All you have to do:
is stop and think
engage your brain before your hands
stepback 5 paces from the job and invest 5 minutes in thinking about the job
Maybe now that your on the worksite and about to start work you might take another look at the job:
and maybe you decide that your not sure how the equipment has been isolated, or
that maybe you don’t have the right tool for the job, or
maybe now that your here, you’d rather have some other sort of PPE, or
the lifting looks a lot more difficult than you originally thought, and maybe you need someone to help you.

4. Stepback - 5x5
Every person in every work group should use Stepback 5x5 BEFORE, DURING & AFTER each task undertaken.
BEFORE - Are all the hazards controlled?
DURING - Has anything changed, is the job going as planned?
AFTER - Got anything to share, any upgrades to the BJSA?
So, now your all saying well that’s pretty basic, and there’s not much to that.
And your right, remember a very simple tool.
So, when should you use it - you should use it before each and every task that you perform. Not some special matrix or process to decide when. You use before, during and after each task.
BEFORE - Are all the hazards controlled?
DURING - Has anything changed, is the job going as planned?
AFTER - Got anything to share, any upgrades to the BJSA?
Or - can I see some way I might get hurt, can I stop myself from getting hurt, should I share this with my work mates in case they don’t see the same hazard, can I upgrade the procedure or JSA?
All just common sense.

5. Stepback - 5x5 BEFORE you start the job Stop and think
Observe the work area and surroundings
Think through the steps of what you will be doing
Identify what else is happening today in your area or nearby.
Identify any hazards - utilize the BJSA Hazard ID Checklist
Develop methods of controlling these hazards
Satisfy yourself that the hazards are controlled before starting work
Undertake a BJSA if not satisfied that the hazards are controlled
Let’s just step though the next three slides that just expand on this concept at each of the before, during and after stages.
BEFORE you start the job
Stop and think
Observe the work area and surroundings
Think through the steps of what you will be doing
Identify what else is happening today in your area or nearby.
Identify any hazards - utilize the BJSA Hazard ID checklist which is part of this packet in your Handbook.
Develop methods of controlling these hazards
Satisfy yourself that the hazards are controlled before starting work
Undertake a BJSA if not satisfied that the hazards are controlled
Example: SYU - Medical Treatment - While performing MMS testing on FSV, associate was using a crescent wrench to remove a plug, when the wrench slipped, his right elbow struck the divert valve, resulting in pain to his right elbow the following day. No JSA. Tool selection.

6. Repeat the steps above whenever you encounter an unexpected change
Stepback - 5x5
DURING the job
Do you feel safe doing the job?
Are others around you working safely?
Has anything changed?
Is the job going as expected?
Continually think through the steps of what you are doing
DURING the job
Do you feel safe doing the job?
Are others around you working safely?
Has anything changed?
Is the job going as expected?
Continually think through the steps of what you are doing
Remember:
Repeat the steps above whenever you encounter an unexpected change
Example: Chinook - Medical Treatment - While 8" valve was being lowered to the deck, associate reached around the valve to push it away from a sensing line. The chain that was used in the rigging rolled and pinched his ring & middle fingers between the valve body and the chain. Dislocated right ring finger, hematoma of the ring & middle fingers with a laceration (stitches) of the fingernail. Unexpected change, injured person not part of BJSA. Avoiding Line of fire - Protecting hands.
Repeat the steps above whenever you encounter an unexpected change

7. Stepback - 5x5
AFTER completing the job
Observe the work area
Take action to control any hazards that may have been created because of the job
Reflect on the job performed
Were others around you working safely?
Can any improvements be made?
Share these improvements at workgroup meetings
AFTER completing the job
Observe the work area
Take action to control any hazards that may have been created because of the job
Reflect on the job performed
Were others around you working safely?
Can any improvements be made?
Share these improvements at workgroup meetings
So how do you share them - the best time is at a morning meeting or a regular safety meeting.

8. Expectations
Presentation/training material available for use in back home plans
Becomes part of everyone’s routine before they start an activity
Discussions on hazards/learnings in morning meetings
This has been a short overview on this process, but as I have said it is a very simple concept.
So what do we want you to do.....
We want you to build these tools into your take home plans for 2003,
We want you to start talking about this process in safety meetings and in tool box meetings ,
We want each of you to encourage the use of this process and for each of you to personally use it.
Presentation/training material available for use in back home plans
Becomes part of everyone’s routine before they start an activity
Discussions on hazards/learnings in morning meetings
What do we want?
We want people to understand these tools, to use these tools and to always
think before they act

We want people to understand the tools, to use the tools and to always
think before they act

9. Look Around and Identify Risk Safety is, the result of our choices
