Supervisor and forklift operator, how do you verify that everyone is in a Safe Zone before moving machine? How can supervisors maintain a 360” view to ensure his team in Safe Zone prior start work? How do we ensure that mindset of site teams is able to identify and recognize the hazard of “Line of Fire“ ? To what level, we can build the perception of positive sense of caution on the site team ?
