Control of Hazardous Energies Standard / V5 DRAFT REVIEW - Oct 2025
The instructor shall:
Engage participants in an open and honest discussion on workplace safety and personal responsibility, linked to stories about the impact on individuals who decided to "have a go" as opposed to working within the SSOW. Key points to challenge participants on:
a.
Why do they think we need a safe system of work?
b. Is the SSOW in place to safeguard teams, demonstrate compliance or satisfy customer expectation? Is it there to protect you and what you provide for your loved ones?
c. How could you or your coworkers be impacted by an incident? Will financial compensation resolve that?
d. If an incident occurs, how do you prove you have performed your role correctly?
Explain that adhering to a SSOW creates an audit trail of evidence to illustrate your professional behaviour - without that audit trail nothing exists ...it is not what you know...it is what you can prove.

a.
