FEATURE STORY

Trigger (Continued)

you pull the trigger and stop the line? The answer needs to be, absolutely, no one should be occupying track with-
out understanding the limits of their track authority. As hard as it may be, you need to stop, ask for clarification,
and make sure everyone is safe.
We have just had a chance to review three situations that are very common here at Loram. We talk about “Know
Before You Go”, we talk about 5-Steps and pre-task briefings, we also talk about CDC guidelines and how we as
good citizens should do the right thing in a pandemic. In the end, talk is meaningless unless you take the time and
follow through on your training and your safe work instructions. Make it a personal goal to understand your per-
sonal trigger when it comes to stopping the line. Take time to discuss as a crew the temptations you encounter,
the pressures to take shortcuts or the risks you may take because you don’t want to be seen as inexperienced.
Know your trigger point. When the time comes be ready to stop, assess, and move forward safely. Have a great

month and welcome back after a well-deserved holiday break.
