The old 05:13.420 --> 05:15.900 catch phrase that everyone is a safety 05:16.340 --> 05:19.030 is always true and all we d'oh .

It's extremely 05:54.370 --> 05:56.426 important during the harder times of 05:56.426 --> 05:58.600 the year . Dehydration and heat 05:58.600 --> 06:00.656 injuries are very common and easy to 06:00.656 --> 06:02.790 fall victim to when focused on 06:02.790 --> 06:04.960 completing a mission . Sure that you 06:04.960 --> 06:07.430 report any unsafe acts or incidents 06:07.720 --> 06:09.442 that happened so they could be 06:09.442 --> 06:11.442 prevented in the future .

During 06:28.970 --> 06:30.914 all operations , there should be a 06:30.914 --> 06:33.030 safety officer Warren CEO that can 06:33.030 --> 06:34.970 assist with any safety issue . 06:35.620 --> 06:37.398 Deliberate risk assessments are 06:37.398 --> 06:39.398 produced for specific operations to 06:39.398 --> 06:41.509 assist in the mitigation of hazards . 06:41.509 --> 06:43.620 Refer to them for more information on 06:43.620 --> 06:45.509 hazard associated with our tasker 06:45.509 --> 06:47.830 operation .
