2.5.3 Right to refuse

The "safe person" concept is central to dynamic risk assessment. Safety management normally
relies on the safe place, safe equipment, safe systems of work and safe person idea; ensuring
that collective control measures are in place to make the workplace safe. While safe places rely
on design and physical controls, the safe person relies on human factors such as motivation,
experience, competence, attitude and perception of risk.

In an operational environment, the safe place can't always be guaranteed, and collective controls
may not be feasible. So the focus shifts to the safe person, safe equipment and safe systems of
work.

Managers must be able to rely on workers in the field to do the right thing when new risk arises.
To develop risk control strategies, they need to have predicted the risk (as far as possible),
developed competency standards, and trained staff in these standards. The individual must know
the boundaries and behave safely by consistently applying agreed controls.

classroom time where you will be shown company documents policies and procedures relevant to the

observe, again this is your opportunity to ask questions and learn from our experienced staff. Then it
is time for you to drive with one of our driver trainers they will monitor you’re driving for the day and
feed back to the Directors as to what will be your next steps. This could be that you are competent to
