Situational Awareness: The Often-Ignored Hazard Control

---

This requires attention to detail, one of the key components of the Awareness factor in the Safety DNA model. Employees working with hazardous chemicals must display this ability in order to stay injury free, and it will always come a bit easier for some than others. One of the most dangerous workplace hazards in terms of potential consequences is working with electricity.

OSHA estimates that approximately workers die every year in electricity-related incidents. Workers in these types of jobs must constantly maintain awareness of various factors, such as keeping Minimum Approach Distances MAD from power lines, using proper ground-fault protection, and maintaining wires, tools, or extension cords in safe working condition. These hazards are compounded further in jobs where this work is done at elevated heights, requiring even further concentration and focus. Safe work practices for these working conditions are obviously trainable as with all of these examples , but individuals with naturally lower awareness must be particularly vigilant about electrical risks and the behaviors they must use to avoid injury or death.

So, what happens if you tend to be have lower awareness? No, of course not.

Statistically speaking, thousands of employees work in these jobs every day successfully even though they would score lower on an assessment or test of Awareness of Surroundings. It simply means they have more personal exposure and higher probability of being injured due to this aspect of their safety profile.

The nature of the job, training quality, and company safety culture will all impact this exposure level as well. However, by learning about oneself and acknowledging the fact that one may simply be prone to greater distraction or forgetfulness in certain situations, a person can easily reduce their risk by engaging in certain precautions and proactive behaviors to make up for their blind spot in awareness. Using checklists, memory aids, developing a habit of triple-checking things, or simply asking a co-worker to inspect your work or your PPE are simple ways to do this.

He didn't make enough money as a Genin and having to make sure that he could afford the overpriced food, clothes and weaponry left nothing for him to pay his way-too-high rent with. He hadn't been worried about it then.

But now he wished he had thought about it more. Granted, the outcome would be the same, but at the very least he could have avoided having his belongings tossed out into the streets like trash and the few houseplants he had from disappearing, probably destroyed.

He could stay in the woods until Iruka came back, or he could attempt to sneak back into his apartment and hope that the landlord wouldn't find him. After a moment of thought, he decided that the latter would only result in his being thrown in jail and that was the last place he wanted to go. The woods would have been nearly perfect, except for one major discrepancy. In the daytime, teams of Genin came to train for hours beginning at sunrise and if Naruto was going to live there, he would have to make himself scarce for hours and that meant finding another place to be altogether.

Sure he had missions of his own, but his sensei had been known to have his lazy days and had given them breaks from training and missions enough times for Naruto to know that this plan in particular had a excellent chance of not working. And to make matters worse, a loud rumbling from above told him that his already crappy evening was about to get even worse.

Naruto refused to let out the depressed sob that threatened to burst out from the back of his throat. As if life wasn't horrible enough, something like this was about as bad as things could get for him. He had to spend a whole two weeks in the woods and he didn't have a single dollar to his name. His weapons had cost him damn near a fortune as the village weapons vendor was feeling particularly vengeful today, and he had to swindle Pervy-Sage out of a few bowls of ramen before the toad Sage took off for some other country.

And, it didn't help that he didn't have any missions the next day being that his Jounin sensei was feeling lazy and decided to give them a break. The first drop hit him in the back of the neck, cold and surprising. As he tilted his head up, the sky began its downpour on his already tear-streaked face.

His head hurt, and he was tired from all the crying he hadn't realized he was doing until he found it difficult to breathe though his nose. Note that the knife by itself does not present a hazard. The possibility of the knife being picked up by the kid makes the knife a hazard. The act of the kid picking up the knife leads to a hazardous situation in which harm can occur.

The use of the knife in harmful ways leads to harm. As another example, consider a kitchen with a gas stove. The gas in the stove does not present a hazard. Suppose the gas leaks into the kitchen and it trapped in the kitchen. Now the gas presents a hazard.
