TOPIC OF THE MONTH – WALKING DISTRACTED?
Common risks associated with walking whilst using your mobile include:
DID YOU KNOW
The role of phones in distracted driving injuries and deaths gets a lot of attention and rightly so, but we need to also consider the danger phone use poses to pedestrians.
Walking and talking on the phone is extremely dangerous because you can’t see the path in front of you!
The danger is amplified when pedestrians walk in busy areas with a lot of traffic.
In addition, people who deviate from a straight path while walking in a pedestrian environment are more likely to wander into traffic, onto train tracks and most commonly, falling down stairs facing a potential serious injury and maybe even death.
ARE YOU DISCUSSING THIS WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES?
SAFEWORK WILL VISIT YOUR WORKPLACE – ARE YOU AWARE OF YOUR WHS OBLIGATIONS?
If Safework visit your workplace, are you confident you meet the minimum WHS requirements as an employer?
It is important that every business is aware of their WHS obligations.
Our WHS Audit can identify any gaps within your current safety systems. Using our gap analysis we have saved our clients thousands in potential Safework fines.
If you are an employer without any safety support not only would our gap analysis be beneficial for you, but we also offer monthly safety consultancy where we work for you, addressing your safety processes.
