Hello everyone,

We had a recent incident where one of our employees was exposed to a hazardous chemical on a customer site, while performing a routine low-hazard activity (the chemical should not have been there, but there was a leak in the equipment). As part of our incident response, I am going to write up some training/awareness presentations which focus on hazard perception; not making assumptions that controls will always be in place; always considering the possibility that there is a hidden danger, even in low-hazard routine activities etc etc.

If anyone can recommend any resources that I could refer to to assist me, or if anyone is feeling generous and has any training material that they would be willing to share, I would really appreciate it! Ideally for the chemical/oil and gas industries, but anything generic that would be relevant would also be very gratefully received...

Many thanks

Hi Kimberley, as no-one else replied, I thought I'd point you to this site. Hope it gives you a starter for 10, there are downloads catchphrasing D.U.T.C.H - Distraction, Unfamiliarity, Tiredness, Complacency and Hurry....

Hope it helps :-)

Thanks very much for replying, I know it is a bit of a cheeky request...

Don't think the site was included in your response though - maybe deleted the link? I can google it if you can just give me the name..

Thanks again, have a nice weekend...

Maybe look through youtube etc for clips giving wrong perception?

I used to have clips from a old US employer who ran some training showing a guy branding a horse. Thought he was safe as the horse was in a fenced area and he was on the other side.

quick as a flash the horse kicked back and hoof went through the gap! Was a useful message about perception of being safe!

Seems to me that good solid Risk Assessment training is the most pressing problem, for the off site and on site staff
