11/24/2003 Yellow Memo.doc Importance: High Please read the below memo, and discuss this within your work groups today and tomorrow morning at your briefings. This has the potential to be our 5 OSHA recordable this year, and the second in 12 days. Each of these incidents means our fellow workers were hurt in some manner and required medical attention, and all had human performance errors and traps in them.
It's the holiday season, and we have to focus on the work at hand, our human performance tools that protect us, and look out for our fellow workers.

OSHA Recordable Personnel Injury While doing a search of a vehicle during the morning rush at Gate 1, a security guard was looking into the rear of a pickup by letting the tailgate down. The guard at the driver's door gave the driver permission to go ahead and the guard at the rear still had the tailgate open and in his hand. He called for the vehicle to stop and when it did the guard at the rear jammed his wrist against the tailgate.
While doing searches in the morning there is a sense of TIME PRESSURE for security because people are waiting to go to work. Additionally, there was no THREE PART COMMUNICATION between the two security guards and sense of COMPLACENCY after doing this job for a long period of time.
The good news regarding this incident Is that THE INDIVIDUAL REPORTED HS INJURY.
Medical Response Team personnel are here for our support and assistance. It is vital to your safety, as well as for the good of the organization, that all injuries are reported.

Yellow Memo Page-2 of 2 Fortunately, this incident was not more serious. It could have resulted in fracture of the wrist and/or a Lost Time Accident. As this incident proves, TRAPs are everywhere. A mere moment of time in the face of a careless act can have catastrophic consequences. Whatever you're doing, ensure that you think BEFORE you act. It must always be our number one priority that each of us return home each day as healthy as we were when we came in to work.
