Applying CRM in Your Role

Written by Aurora

What is the 5W and 1H Formula?

The 5W and 1H formula provides a simple framework consisting of six questions to guide you in implementing CRM effectively.

When:

Critical controls are verified at the job site before work begins and, where needed, during the job to confirm they are in place and working. If controls are missing or ineffective, work must not start, or must stop, until the controls are corrected and verified as effective.

Where:

Verifications are performed at the job site where the task is being carried out.

What:

CRM is a process supported by Forwood One to check critical controls, verify their effectiveness, and implement measures to manage critical risks when needed. Detailed comments and evidence must be provided to support this process. It is important to understand that unless all applicable critical control questions are answered "Yes," the work must not start.

Why:

It is done to safeguard against human error. It prevents workplace fatalities by verifying that all necessary controls are in place before work commences.

How:

Verification is conducted by systematically completing a checklist and answering critical control questions as Yes, No, or N/A.
