Preventing Incidents

UNDERSTAND YOUR RISKS

In Peoplesafe's 20+ years' of experience, the majority of workplace risks come from three main categories.

Using the PET risk methodology you can identify the risks you are exposed too. The more risks you face, the higher risk the work you complete. The higher risk you are, the more frequently you should use your Peoplesafe solution.

What risks do you face when working?

PEOPLE based risks like verbal or physical abuse are common when facing people when working.

ENVIRONMENT based risks could be working in hazardous areas that are remote or have dangerous terrain.

TASK based risks could be falls from height or injury when working with dangerous machinery.
