Noble's five pillars framework and applications

Noble's Pillars

Demonstrate genuine care and concern

Reminding people using either public or private vehicles to make sure that they wear their safety belt or reminding workers who have not worn their protective clothing in a company exposed to injuries. I will inform them that it is for the good of their personal safety because it will minimize more injuries in case of any accident by bus or reduce the risks of injuries in the work place. It is not a must that someone has to receive rewards for this but it should just come out of your good heart and love for personal safety. Meaning that whenever someone come across any form of risk that people are exposed to he or she will take an initiative to alert the people of the danger they might be exposing themselves to.

Measure and Respond to exposure

Exposure can be in a form of spillage of water or a liquid on the floor which can cause somebody to slip and fall down and maybe have a dislocation of his arm or have an impact with the floor that causes internal bleeding on the head and it is important for whoever realize this make sure that the exposure does not cause injuries. Once have realize some spillage on the floor however little it might be, I will inform people around first for them to be aware of that so that they cannot get in contact with it while am checking on ways to clear it. Then I dry the place immediately. Respond to exposure will determine whether the risk will cause injury or not, because when the response takes longer time it might find that already the exposure has done the damage. The way to carry out the respond is also important since it will reduce the level of the risk.

Conduct Safety Perception Audits

My visit was in a vehicle assembling company where I met several employees wearing their helmets and aprons. There answer to the reason they were always in helmet and other protective clothing once they are in the company was to avoid possible injuries arising from a falling objects and sharp objects they are using. The workers feel that they are subjected to a more secured environment with the protective equipment but sometimes they admit that they ignore wearing protective clothing. I gave them example of an employee who died after he was hit by a falling tool immediately after removing his helmet while in the workshop to get fresh air. This touched them and accepted never to forget their protective clothes. The audit helps to identify whether people are always following the rules of personal safety.

Make Safety personal

I will make safety personal by: looking out for others and my self; always address any hazards immediately I become aware of them; recognize and manage risks appropriately; immediately stop any activity that I believe is unsafe; adhere to the rules of the company's safety rules. By doing this I will always avoid any injuries at work thereby working safe. My family will always not be exposed to any risks of injuries and exposure when I engage in these activities thereby promoting work safe family when they learn from me and adopt and this will make us live a quality life.
