Description
When talking about situational awareness, it is all about understanding where you are, what is going on around you and how this can affect you.
Knowledge about your surroundings and activities going on around you, is used to make decisions and take action if needed, if something pose a threat to your health and safety.
We use our knowledge and experience to understand what is going on around us and it helps us to determine if it is safe. This also means, each person’s situational awareness and how they react in a given situation is different.
How we read a situation can be influenced in several ways, such as, the information provided prior to a task, previous experiences and distractions in the workplace.
Our situational awareness toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces where a lot of activities are going on around workers and situational awareness is critical.
