Hazard Assessments

We utilize Pre- and Post-Job Briefs as the main tools for hazard assessments at Vistra. The Pre-Job Brief is one of the most effective Human Performance Improvement (HPI) tools available for reducing significant injuries and fatalities. An effective Pre-Job Brief ensures workers and supervisors understand the scope of work to be performed so they can identify the hazards and related safety precautions associated with “this team on this task at this time.”

The purpose of the Post-Job Review is to identify improvements that can be made to the performance of tasks. Once the areas of improvement are identified, changes to task resources and procedures can be incorporated appropriately for future tasks.

Vistra’s Emphasis on Highly Hazards Topics and Serious Injury and Fatality Prevention

Vistra’s commitment to industrial safety includes a focus on minimizing the severity of highly hazardous activities that may result in serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs). Examples of such highly hazardous activities that may lead to SIFs include but are not limited to: confined space entry, electrical safety, heavy equipment operation and driving, lifting and rigging, lockout tagout, heavy equipment operations, and working at height.
