Codaray launches 1Breadcrumb Safety Management System

🦺 Safety Walk Gamble To make safety inspections engaging and encourage everyone on-site to actively look for hazards or positive safety behavior. How It Works 1. Form small groups or pairs of workers or supervisors. 2. Each group “gambles” by predicting how many hazards or safe acts they’ll identify during the walk. • Example: “find 5 hazards in the workshop area.” 3. Teams conduct the safety walk, recording what they find. 4. Points or rewards are given for: • Correct hazard identification • Good safety observations • Creative or high-impact suggestions 5. Winners can receive small incentives or recognition at the toolbox talk. Benefits: • Makes safety inspections fun and interactive • Builds safety awareness • Encourages teamwork and open communication • Promotes proactive hazard spotting #oilandgas #safetyleadership #zeroharm

Do you know what’s the difference between a checkbox exercise and a talk that actually prevents accidents? Engagement Why Toolbox talks Matter? ➡️ Help to build a Safety-First Culture ➡️ Help prevent accidents before they happen.  ➡️ Open the door for workers to voice concerns, share experiences, and ask questions. How can you make your Toolbox Talks engaging? ❇️ Share real stories and talk about the actual hazards your team faces today, on your site. ❇️ Get Everyone involved and let workers share their near-misses and safety wins. Because when people participate, they remember and when they remember, they act safely. ❇️ Bring in props, demonstrate equipment, show photos of hazards. This quick demonstration can beat a long lecture every time. ❇️ Focus just on one topic - 10 minutes with clear takeaways. Less is more when it comes to retention. ❇️ Rotate presenters. Change locations. Use different formats as fresh perspectives keep energy high and engagement strong. ❇️ Ensure participation of supervisors and managers as it sends a clear message that for you, their safety is a PRIORITY. Toolbox talks are your daily investment in your team's safety and your company's success. They cost minutes but save so much more. Make them engaging, make them relevant, and watch your safety culture transform. How do you ensure your Toolbox talks are effective? We would love to hear your suggestions and comments to create more awareness on this topic for Safety experts who formulate the TBT. #safetyfirst #toolboxtalks #safetyculture

🦺 Safety First: A Proactive Stand-Down at J&P Eng Ltd Part 1 with Video (Part 2 to follow with pictures) This week, J&P carried out a Safety Stand Down on one of our projects, we focused on behavioural of safety, and it was one of our most engaging sessions yet. Before anyone arrived on site, we intentionally set up a number of hazards. The team was split into two groups, each armed with a whiteboard and a simple challenge: 👉 Identify as many hazards as you can. 👉 Bonus point: To see if anyone spotted anything unusual about Scott Smith our Elite Safety Services Safety Advisor… his backwards hard hat and creatively-tied hi-viz! What followed was exactly what we hoped for active teamwork, sharp observation, and real discussion. Both teams got stuck in, identifying hazards quickly and collaborating to build their lists. We closed the session by talking through: ✔️ The next steps for removing or reducing each hazard ✔️ How and when to report issues that can’t be immediately resolved ✔️ Why behavioural safety and speaking up matter just as much as physical controls This hands-on exercise was a refreshing change from the traditional “sign-and-go” toolbox talk. It created real engagement, real conversations, and real learning — a testament to how we work to keep our teams sharp and our sites safe. At J&P, safety isn’t a tick-box. It’s a culture. And it’s how we deliver our projects safely, every time. How many can you spot? #SafetyFirst #TeamCulture #BehaviouralSafety #ConstructionSafety #SafetyStandDown #ContinuousImprovement

As one of last year’s winners of EllisDon’s ConTech Accelerator, Salus is now piloting its digital safety platform on two active projects with 5 additional sites coming soon. Our HSE teams have partnered with Salus to ensure full compliance with provincial regulations while streamlining safety processes. Why did Salus stand out? Ease of use. Workers can sign in, complete pre-job safety assessments, toolbox talks, equipment inspections, and site orientations - all from their phone. QR codes posted on-site make accessing forms fast and simple, improving responsiveness and compliance. Although the pilot is in its early stages, real-time form completion and hazard identification are already underway. Transitioning to a digital platform at the field level is reducing administrative time and streamlining safety data for easier review and reporting. This shift also opens the door to new insights and trend analysis at both the project and organizational levels. Olivia Brown Ashley Saidi Berandra W.

Bridging the Gap in Safety Culture A few months ago, during a toolbox talk, one worker told me quietly, “Sir, management only talks about safety, they don’t listen to us.” I didn’t argue. I invited him to join me for the next safety walk with the construction manager. During the walk, I asked him to explain one small issue he faced every day. The manager listened, asked questions, and within two days, the issue was fixed. The next week, that same worker called his team together and said, “They actually listened.” That small moment changed the team’s attitude. They started reporting, suggesting, and owning safety actions. That’s what safety culture means to me. It’s not about slogans or posters. It’s about trust. When workers believe management listens, safety becomes natural.

The Power of Regular Toolbox Talks in Construction In our industry, safety isn’t just a priority — it’s a responsibility. Working in fire containment and on construction sites means we operate in high-risk environments where the smallest oversight can have serious consequences. That’s why regular toolbox talks are absolutely vital to our success and the wellbeing of every team member. These short, focused sessions provide an opportunity to: ✅ Refresh critical health and safety protocols ✅ Reinforce best practices for handling fire-resistant materials and equipment ✅ Identify and address site-specific risks before work begins ✅ Encourage open communication, where every voice and concern is heard By taking just a few minutes at the start of each shift or project, we help prevent incidents, build stronger teams, and promote a culture where everyone goes home safe at the end of the day. Toolbox talks aren’t just a tick-box exercise — they’re one of our most powerful tools for protecting lives and property. #HealthAndSafety #FireContainment #ToolboxTalks #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyCulture #Teamwork

Find where you fit in. In a strong safety culture, everyone has a place. Not everyone leads from the front — some lead by example, some by speaking up, and some by quietly doing things the right way, every single day. Safety isn’t just a department. It’s not a title or a checklist. It’s a shared responsibility that thrives when people find where they fit in — and take ownership of it. Whether you’re a technician tightening a valve, a foreman planning tomorrow’s work, or a safety professional walking the site — you matter. Your role has weight (yes.. really!). Your actions set the tone. Because a true safety culture isn’t built by one person. It’s built by everyone finding where they fit in… and making that space safer for the next person.

Today, I had the opportunity to conduct a proactive toolbox talk with our team before the start of work. We discussed essential safety protocols and best practices to ensure a secure and productive work environment. Always prioritizing safety and teamwork!

Preventable safety incidents happen in the industry every day. Understanding contractor safety performance will help you prevent risks and achieve better performance. In the second part of The Safety Experts episode covering Improving Contractor Safety, @Jerome Spear and @Jeremy Lancaster sit down with @Dave Griffith to discuss field safety oversight, understanding general contractor and owner expectations, and why feedback is so important. In case you haven’t already, be sure to check out Part 1 of Improving Contractor Safety, where we introduced the topic and discussed important first steps in managing contractor safety.

👷♂️Safety Docs 📑 As safety professionals, we often find ourselves buried under mountains of paperwork, driven by the belief that “if it’s not documented, it didn’t happen.” While documentation is indeed crucial, it’s essential to step back and evaluate the purpose and effectiveness of every document we create. - Does regulation require it? - What value does it add? - Can that form be combined with another? - Can the form be condensed without losing value? - Is the document user-friendly? Sometimes it is possible to substitute lengthy Daily check lists for a posted visual inspection point list and a single daily sign off. Then, we can conduct a quarterly audit to ensure the process is effective. This ensures we do not drown our employees in paperwork that becomes a nuisance to their job. Let’s focus on smart documentation that supports our safety culture! #SafetyFirst #SafetyManagement #Documentation #ContinuousImprovement
