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