Joe goes to sportsdirect.com formerly known as St James Park!
The Meet Joe safety campaign is a slightly different approach to conventional safety programmes/campaigns, this addresses real life issues that the workforce can relate to and understand whilst also promoting key safety messages.
Each month Joe will be doing something different that has either potential pitfalls or indeed something that has gained him praise. These story board type posters will be sent to all sites on a monthly basis for inclusion in safety meetings/briefs by employees in field locations.
BIS Salamis see the Meet Joe campaign as a talking point for all employees - engaging them in real life issues involving their safety.
Please use this site to browse released posters and more pictures of when BIS Salamis colleagues have "met Joe" offshore and on holidays.
Road Safety
Start (and end) your trip as you mean to go on - Road Safety is fundamental to both commuting to your workplace and returning home to your families.
Ron and his colleage are driving up the road prior to going offshore. They are exposed to various aspects of road safety; maintenance, planning routes, breaks, weather, road rage, speeding, substances, mobiles, emergency. They stick to the regular rules that are vital to staying safe on the road, but also have a lapse on concentration that could have cost them.
What could a lapse of concentration on the road cost you?

Get hazards before they get you - what could harm your team on your next job?
Joe and his colleagues are carrying out various tasks offshore. With each task, a member is proactive in spotting associated hazards. The consequences of the hazard runs through their mind. Following this, the member in question communicates to the rest of the team a control to reduce the risk associated with the hazard. Proactive hazard spotting in these instances successfully saved potential injury.
What hazards can you spot on your next job before they harm you or your team?

Eye injuries are easily avoidable - suitably assess the task's risks and wear the correct eye wear.
Joe and his colleagues are dismantling under deck scaffolding. Andy takes no notice when Joe mentions that he is still wearing his safety spectacles from the previous job. He's left his safety goggles in his locker and can't be bothered taking the time to get them. Forseeably, a gust of wind blows grit into Andy's eye. Joe finishes the job by carrying out the dust down procedure and then looks forward to his dinner. Meanwhile, Andy waits patiently to report the incident to the medic, reflecting on his mistake. Furthermore, he'll miss the good dinners!
What is the best option? Safety spectacles or safety goggles?

Focus on the task at hand - it's the routine tasks that catch us out.
While erecting scaffolding, Joe tightens a swivel fitting. Suddenly, the scaffold spanner slips and Joe's hand makes harsh contact with the scaffold. A TOFS (time out for safety) is called. Joe's Supervisor mentions that this is Joe's second hand injury this year. An action was to communicate that everyone should routinely inspect scaffold fittings prior to use, and glove selection should be carefully considered.
Do you ALWAYS inspect scaffold fittings?

During all of these tasks, he carries out festive safety checks. He sets off on Christmas Eve and enjoys a Christmas dinner in the North sea on Christmas Day.
How can you ensure that you're family will have a magical Christmas?
