Five questions for the crew
- What is the work sequence, and where do tasks or teams interact?
- What has changed since this job was last done?
- Where could someone be exposed to harm, and how?
- Which controls matter most, and who checks they are in place?
- What should make us pause, stop or reassess?
Before the crew starts
- Unresolved issues have an owner and are addressed before starting
- Everyone knows how to communicate a change or stop the job
- The team will regroup if the scope or conditions change
