Description
As host of the 2009 South East Quarries and Landfill Group (SEQLG) safety day, Tarmac Region 4 decided to extend the event for a further three days, enabling as many Tarmac operational staff as possible to attend. With a focus on worker involvement, the event involved quarry safety inductions, emergency muster points and first aid points.
Teams of delegates were given a series of presentations, demonstrations and discussions, covering the following important safety messages:
Fault finding and guarding
Pump safety
Working at height
Mobile plant
First aid
Manual handling
PPE
Emergency drills (Urban Search & Rescue Team).
The event was a resounding success with approximately 90% of the region’s operational staff attending.
