In most everything we do, we find a way to make the process go easier and faster. These processes we develop become habits and are used not only at work but in our everyday activities as well.
Habit is an automated way of behaviour that is inherited or acquired through frequent repetition.
Some say it takes 21 days of continual monitoring and reminding yourself to develop a habit. Some of us have very good habits, some of us could use a little work. Let’s look at a few tasks:
- Do you fasten your seatbelt every time you enter an automobile to drive or sit at the passenger seat?
- Do you wear your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during jobs onsite?
- Do you put in your hearing protection as you enter the production floor?
- Do you confirm the power is truly disconnected after you lockout a machine?
- Do you wash off dust of your entire windshield prior to getting in the car every mornings?
- Do you wear safety glasses and long pants when you use your weed wacker?
- Do you turn your head and check your blind spot prior to switching lanes?
- Do you make eye contact with the forklift drivers before walking near them?
- Do you utilize the handrail when going up or down stairs?
- Do you stop and look both ways before walking out into an aisle?
- Do you properly put off all appliances before sleeping at night and also before stepping out of the house?
- Do you use the correct tools for each activities you do onsite and at home?
- Do you take the pedestrian bridge when crossing the express?
These are just a few habits that safety conscious employees and people do each and every time they do the task. How about you?
