Are You in the Line of Fire?
Definition: Line of fire
- Creating a company-wide line of fire program presents a significant opportunity for injury prevention.
- You are in the line of fire when you are at risk of coming into contact with a force your body cannot endure.
- The Line of Fire program is aligned with Life Saving Rules.
- The program aligns with our shared goal of zero injuries and zero incidents.
About the Program
The program is structured into three categories:
Stored energy including pressure releases
Striking hazards including dropped objects
Crushing hazards including hand injuries

It begins with a plan followed by the roll out of activity packages where feedback and worker discussions are facilitated and follow-up is conducted.
