Every employee and contractor has the absolute authority and obligation to halt operations immediately if they perceive an unsafe condition.

Clearly marked pathways, barricades, and safety signage across the facility to guide safe movement.
PPE Compliance:
Mandatory use of specialized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for every individual on the shop floor.

A proactive reporting culture for 'Near Misses' to investigate and mitigate risks before incidents occur.
