DESCRIPTION
The health and safety interaction of both contractors and hauliers when visiting quarries is an area of high importance. To fully engage site contractors and hauliers with its safety culture, Smiths Bletchington have developed an interactive, drone based, video induction in partnership with ECP Video Ltd. These videos have now become part of the structured induction programme that is given to contractors and hauliers at Gill Mill Quarry. The contractor and haulier videos focus on the topics detailed below:
- Clearer site orientation
- Key Hazards
- Extraction Phases
- Local Rules
- Product Locations
- Isolation Practice (LOTOTO)
- Safe HGV Tipping
The video inductions are delivered in a dedicated induction suite on-site, this allows inductees to focus without distraction on the visuals and key information being provided. The feedback has been very positive, with the hauliers finding the video engaging and providing the safety information in a clear and interesting format.
