A common finding in the root cause analysis of incidents in our Region was in relation to the lack of use and/or quality of Take 5 and an interdependent ‘looking after each other’ culture. As a result, we have developed a specific campaign focused in these two areas, which forms part of our 2023 EMEA Health & Safety Improvement Plan. This campaign aims to promote, encourage and convince colleagues to use Take 5 and Take 5 Together in their daily work and for Managers to integrate these processes into their health and safety management activities.
We have now launched this new campaign, which will help to strengthen our interdependent Health & Safety culture by further embedding Take 5 and Take 5 Together – both aimed at preventing injuries and incidents.
The campaign will run for three months – March, April and May – and has been designed for local teams to engage and interact with each other on key subjects in each of those months.
March is specifically focussed on Take 5. On the UK News download page: Take 5 Poster - I Take Control of My Safety Every Day (1317 downloads ) What is Take 5? poster (1361 downloads ) you can find the following resources to share on your work notice boards:
- Take 5 Poster
- What is Take 5 Poster
To all Managers, it would be greatly appreciated if:
- You can share the materials with your teams.
- Managers and Supervisors familiarise themselves with the “Manager Briefing” and “Take 5 Briefing” which you can find on the UK News download page: Take 5 Campaign briefing document (1342 downloads ) Take 5 Briefing document (1318 downloads )
- Managers and Supervisors hold Take 5 briefing sessions with their teams, using the “Take 5 Briefing” in conjunction with the following video
- One or both of the attached posters are displayed appropriately to further promote Take 5.
April will be focused on Take 5 Together and the materials will be communicated later this month.
Your support to get behind this initiative will be appreciated.
