Turner DSM08 Critical Safe Behavior
This critical safe behavior checklist supports observation and coaching in high-risk tasks. It focuses on visual awareness, maintaining safe body positions, and avoiding line‑of‑fire exposures. It guides correct manual handling techniques such as bending at the knees, keeping loads close, turning with the feet, and lifting within the power zone, while encouraging pushing over pulling and limiting single-person lifts to under 50 lbs. It reinforces good housekeeping, safe staging of materials, and maintaining clear travel paths. For elevated work, it emphasizes ladder safety, three points of contact, and proper anchorage and use of fall-arrest systems. Use it to document site details, weather, location, and observer names, and to coach workers toward safer practices.
