If you really want to see how “rush” can activate unsafe behavior, just look around you. On the road, truck drivers rushes through the yellow light. Grab mans, speeding through the gap between cars in order that they can do more deliveries. In the office, people rushes to get into the elevators because they are late for work.
When in rush we tentatively for get about safety. These are what we usually do when we are in a hurry;
- Overspeed
- Fail to give signal
- In the line of fire
- Fail to secure
- Expose to slip trip and fall
- Expose to dangerous mechanical motion
- Expose to heat, or hot surface
- Taking a shortcut
- Break the rules.
- Stressful
