In Alberta’s OHS system, not every safety duty is absolute.

Some are required “as far as reasonably practicable.”

So what does that mean?

It means weighing:
• The level of risk
• What can realistically be done
• The time, cost, and effort involved

And then taking all reasonable steps to control the hazard.

It recognizes a real world truth: not every risk can be eliminated, but every risk must be managed.

If something goes wrong, your ability to show you took those reasonable steps through training, procedures, and documentation can make all the difference.

That’s due diligence.

Driving a lift while elevated might seem like a time-saver… but it’s one of the fastest ways to lose stability and tip.

⚠️ Uneven ground
⚠️ Sudden stops
⚠️ Small obstacles

At height, even small hazards become big risks.
What feels controlled on the ground can quickly become unstable 20 feet in the air.

Stay safe: Lower the platform before moving whenever possible.
Don’t trade seconds for safety.

🚧 One missed signal can change everything.

Clear communication between operators and spotters isn’t optional. It’s critical to keeping everyone safe on site.

Whether you're working with a forklift, telehandler, MEWP, skid steer, or bucket truck, miscommunication can lead to serious incidents in seconds.

💡 Stay safe by remembering:
✔ Agree on hand signals before starting
✔ Keep constant visual or radio contact
✔ STOP immediately if communication is lost
✔ Make sure both operator and spotter understand the plan

Strong communication = safer worksites.

At Touchback Safety, we don’t just train equipment, we train communication, awareness, and teamwork.
We are proud to be an OHS-recognized training provider, committed to raising the standard of safety on every job site.

Book now and keep your certification up to date and your team safe!

Before you go up, take a minute to look around!

A proper MEWP pre-op inspection isn’t just a checkbox. It’s what keeps you safe at height.

🔍 Look for:
❌ Missing parts – If it’s not there, it can’t protect you.
⚠️ Damaged components – Cracks, bends, or wear can lead to failure.
🔧 Broken items – If it doesn’t work, don’t use it.
🔩 Loose fittings – Small movement = big risk
💧 Leaks – Hydraulics and fluids should stay where they belong.

Spot it. Report it.

Because what you catch on the ground could prevent an incident in the air.

The fall doesn’t just drop you… it can turn you into a pendulum!

There are two risks most workers don’t think about:

➡️ Pendulum swing across open space
You travel sideways with force, increasing fall distance and LOSING CONTROL of your body position.

➡️ Swing into a structure
What started as a fall becomes an IMPACT into beams, walls, or other structures.

That’s where serious injuries happen!

In our fall protection training, we focus on both scenarios:
✔️ How swing falls happen
✔️ How to position your anchor properly
✔️ How to reduce lateral movement before you ever step off

Because fall protection isn’t just about stopping the fall.
It’s about controlling what happens after!

Train with Touchback Safety and learn about the details that matter.

New to the trades? Here’s something you need to know:

Safety isn’t something you “learn later”. It starts on day one.

OHS regulations are in place to protect you, but they only work if you use them.

Ask questions. Speak up. Take training seriously.
If something doesn’t feel right, stop and get clarity.

The safest workers aren’t the fastest, they’re the ones who think first.

Spring is here and everything gets a reset!

Equipment gets cleaned, inspected, and maintained.
But what about your body? It just gets pushed harder.

No warm-up. No adjustment. No attention to the warning signs.
You wouldn’t treat your equipment this way.
So why do we accept it for ourselves?

Most sprains and strains don’t come from one big moment.
They come from small things we ignore every day.

So don’t just prepare your tools, prepare the body using them!
Because you can replace equipment parts. You can’t replace all of your parts!

Whether you're on the job, on the road, or enjoying some well earned time off, the same rules apply:
stay alert, follow procedures, and look out for each other!

Safety doesn’t take holidays and neither should your awareness.

Put safety first. Then enjoy your long weekend!

💙 April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day 💙

In safety, we often focus on physical hazards, but not all risks are visible.

For some individuals, things like noise, lighting, or unclear instructions can create real safety challenges on the job.

That’s why safety can’t be one-size-fits-all.

Simple changes like clear communication, reducing unnecessary distractions, and using visual supports can make workplaces safer for everyone.

Because when people feel understood and supported, they’re better able to stay focused, aware, and safe.

Inclusive workplaces aren’t just better, they’re safer!
