Overbury's aim was to eradicate any unsafe behaviours associated with the areas of working at height and material movement. The firm worked with Cowry to identify key behaviours - seven for each area - that needed to be changed. Each of the two sets were referred to as 'the seven deadly sins'. The first three applied to both work at height and moving materials: 1. Area - The team were told to check the surrounding area for hazards and risks, such as hanging ceiling hazards and uneven surfaces. 2. Brakes - Workers were instructed to check that the brakes were applied when using platforms and podiums to work at height. The wheels on these pieces of equipments risked being left unlocked, making them unstable. 3. Check - Each piece of Overbury's equipment uses a labelling system to monitor its safety. Workers were told to periodically check these labels and mark the equipment as safe to use (signed and dated as confirmation).
