Do you ensure that all equipment and materials used are fit for purpose and appropriately secured? Do you ensure that method statements clearly cover all critical steps, including proper securing and anchoring of pipes? Do you ensure that workers are positioned outside the line of fire during pulling or lifting operations? Do you ensure that unique or first-time tasks are supported with detailed work methods and proper risk assessments to identify and control potential hazards.
The CS pipe was not properly anchored, and the use of a wooden piece on top of a roller created an unstable setup. The Permit Holder allowed work to proceed with unsafe equipment positioning. The Involved Person was positioned in the line of fire while applying lubrication, exposing them to potential injury. Inadequate planning for a unique task led to unclear instructions and gaps in hazard identification.
