The best example of this Ive seen was at Bunnings warehouse where they use cones and the barriers that fit over them to identify the exclusion zone. I think unless you have a physically visible barrier to identify the exclusion zone it is not really effective. Just my opinion

Hi Sandra

I have found that a hybrid approach works best:
Workers undertake the on-line course for the theory and understanding, but still need to physically put it into practice (having attended multiple sessions, there is always someone who can't operate the extinguisher the first time!)
Using this approach also saves trainers time (and your money), as the on-line part can be done well before the practical session.

Hi James,

Thanks for sharing this! It’s always great to see discussions around H&S software and how different systems are working (or not) for teams in the field.

Since your client is already using BWARE, I’d love to better understand the UI issues they’re experiencing. Our goal is to make sure our platform is as user-friendly as possible—especially for teams on-site who need quick, efficient tools to manage H&S. Feedback like this directly helps us prioritize updates and refine features to ensure they work in real-world conditions.

If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to chat with your client or even set up a quick session with our product team to explore the challenges they’re facing. It could be something that’s already in the works, or something we can tweak in upcoming updates to make their experience smoother.

We’re always looking to improve, and direct user feedback is invaluable. Let me know if that’s something they’d be interested in—we’d love to help! helpdeskatbwaredotcodotnz

Sadly, this argument is reminiscent of the NRA's false dilemma regarding firearms: 'guns don't kill people, people kill people,' used to justify their continued circulation. Humans are thrilled by speed, but often overlook that our bodies haven't evolved to withstand forces greater than running speed without a high risk of injury or harm. Historically, injuries and fatalities from riding horses, flying bi-planes, and driving motor vehicles have persisted without serious questioning of real versus perceived risk. Enclosed vehicles, like Todd Conklin's crash-proof Volvo example, are relatively safer today. Therefore, I think that quad bikes should be considered a failed transport experiment and relegated to a display at MOTAT.
