Familiarity with the Task Toolbox Topic

The Familiarity with the Task toolbox topic explores how being “too comfortable” with a task can lead to complacency and unsafe shortcuts. When workers perform the same job repeatedly, it’s easy to let their guard down, skip steps, or overlook hazards. This topic reminds teams that even routine tasks carry risks and reinforces the importance of following procedures, staying alert, and treating every job with the same level of attention as if it were their first time.
