Energy-based hazards are often overlooked
While crews may focus on obvious hazards like slips, trips, heights, many incidents start with energy sources: stored energy, moving parts, pressure, etc., the Energy Wheel prompts you to ask:
“What energy sources are present here, and have we controlled them?”
Using this approach helps shift from reacting to hazards to proactively managing them.
This resource set includes a video, facilitation guide, and supporting tools to help you use the Energy Wheel in your pre-job hazard assessments and toolbox talks.
