Field card · Property Crew Safety · demo for a fictional property company

See it. Stop it. Report it.

Four hazards, three moves. Keep this on your phone or in the truck.

Shock Cords and wet power

See itSplit jacket or bare wire. Bent or missing pins. Hot plug. Flat spot. Tape. Cord in water or under a door. A wet place with no GFCI.
Stop itUnplug (dry hands). Tag DO NOT USE. Take it out of the area. Tape is not a repair. Cord or plug in water: breaker off first. Scorched outlet: keep people back, breaker off if you can reach it.
Report itWhere, what, how bad, what I did. Same shift.

Fire Fuel, fumes, flames

See itSolvent or fuel smell. Gas can or thinner near a pilot, burner or heater. Flame symbol and DANGER on a label.
Stop itLight and switch nothing. Let air in. Step out. Call your supervisor. Strong smell or dizzy: get out, call 911.
Report itSay what you saw and smelled. Not what you think of the tenant.

Fall Edges, balconies

See itEdge 4 ft or more (6 ft in construction) with no guardrail, net or harness on an approved anchor. Rusted post. Wet tile.
Stop itSay “Hold up, [name].” Name the opening. Offer to get the gear. Do not help until it is protected. Still going: step back and call.
Report itFacts about the situation, not the person.

Heat Heat illness

See itCall 911: confusion, slurred speech, hot dry skin, seizure, passing out. Nausea, dizziness, cramps, heavy sweat: stop and cool, and watch. Heavy sweat can still be heat stroke. When in doubt, call.
Stop itShade. Cool now (wet towels, fans). Call 911. Never leave them alone. Your own symptoms: stop and say so.
Report itOn the phone: the address, where you are, what you see, what you did. Stay on the line.

The four-part report

  1. Whereunit, floor, spot
  2. Whatwhat you saw
  3. How badwho could be hurt, how soon
  4. What I didtagged, stopped, moved, called

Add a photo. Send it the same shift. No reply? Follow up in writing today, then ask the next person up, then HIOSH.

Heat: water, rest, shade

  • Drink often, not only when thirsty. Add electrolytes for jobs over 2 hours.
  • Take breaks. Skipping them is not safe.
  • New, or back after a week? Day 1 is 20 percent of a normal day. Add 20 percent each day.

What protects you

Hawaii law bars an employer from firing or punishing you for refusing unsafe equipment or an unsafe practice that breaks the safety law, or for filing a safety complaint (HRS §396-8(e)). Calling a stop on a coworker is crew practice, not a legal right.
