ABSTRACT
Safe Person strategies may be particularly useful when the workplace is not fixed, for example in call out work where the physical environment is unknown and there is heavy reliance on skills and expertise to manage the existing situation. These strategies may be limited by the complexities of human behaviour, such as fatigue and times of job or life stress. Where these strategies are relied upon heavily, the use of dynamic risk assessments may be more appropriate to cover unpredictable situations, and will work well provided that there are clear parameters understood that stipulate when withdrawal from a dangerous situation is mandatory (Jacobs, 2001).
