NEAR MISS HAZARD T CARD SYSTEM STREAMLINES PROCESS

When sited at the entrance to the work area, a risk/hazard is noted on a card and then placed in the board alerting everyone who enters that area. Once attended too the card is moved from the ‘Issue Raised’ section to the ‘In Progress’ section, then turned around to green when safe.

The T Board, consequentially informs people of the status of issues in the area, if they are being attended to and if they have been rectified. It is the most simple, clear and precise way to communicate issues that can have a direct bearing on the wellbeing of fellow colleagues.

Compliance and accountability is clearly important in the work place and this system provides a record and history with traceability from the time the incident occurred. The standard T Card board is available supplied fully assembled, complete with headings and 200 Incident T Cards. There is also the option to have the system made to a bespoke format.
