Video to support induction programme<br />
WBB Minerals > 01270 752752<br />
A 30-minute video that uses a fun concept to <strong>com</strong>municate a<br />
serious safety message has greatly enhanced WBB Minerals’<br />
induction process. The video, which is shown to all new and<br />
current employees and contractors, involves a <strong>com</strong>puter-generated<br />
character which works its way<br />
around a board game. Each square<br />
on the board has a different health<br />
and safety topic, such as emergency<br />
procedures and incident reporting.<br />
When the character lands on a risk<br />
square, video users are asked a<br />
award<br />
winner<br />
number of questions to test their knowledge of the issues.<br />
The video is part of a wider induction programme, prompting discussion and<br />
a deeper exploration of site-specific safety issues.<br />
Induction programme for hauliers<br />
Tarmac North West, Cheshire > 07753 772814<br />
When selecting hired hauliers, Tarmac North West ensures that the <strong>com</strong>pany can meet the following<br />
criteria:<br />
• <strong>com</strong>mitment to health and safety<br />
• previous experience within the industry<br />
• training of employed/self employed drivers<br />
• evidence of training<br />
• location of operating centre<br />
• size and condition of fleet.<br />
><br />
Companies employing five or more people are requested to submit a written statement of safety policy for<br />
their business.<br />
After this initial vetting process, Tarmac produces an approved list of hired haulier operators. New<br />
operators of mixing vehicles undergo an induction programme. Firstly, checks are made on their driving<br />
licence; previous experience; vehicles; and personal protective equipment (PPE). Then Tarmac provides<br />
information on the <strong>com</strong>pany’s safety policies; principal hazards on supply depots; the control of hazards<br />
on customer sites and environmental issues and controls. On <strong>com</strong>pletion of the induction process, driver<br />
passport cards are issued, and the names are added to an electronic approved list of drivers.<br />
The induction package is reviewed by the safety health & environmental training officer on an annual<br />
basis or whenever significant change takes place.<br />
Induction for contractors<br />
Lafarge Aggregates > 07740 563244<br />
A procedure manual has been developed which introduces contractors to site-based risks, appropriate<br />
control measures and the forms that they are required to <strong>com</strong>plete. Personnel at each site are also trained<br />
in induction procedures for contractors. Initially developed for the southern region, the improved induction<br />
process is now being rolled out across the <strong>com</strong>pany.
