32: > > Working at height www.safequarry.com Systematic approach to working at height Tarmac Central > Gawsworth, Cheshire > 01260 223477 Tarmac’s Area 3 Concrete (at Gawsworth, near Macclesfield) has applied special diligence in their approach to working at height. This included: • risk assessments by management • drawing up of safe systems of work • where a work platform is required, ladders are never used. Key factors of note include: • summary assessment of all Topmix personnel who were regularly involved in working at heights – primarily fixed plant maintenance personnel • tailored training course for maintenance crews. Attendees needed to be in reasonable health, not suffering from vertigo, and have good binocular vision. The EPIC-approved training course covered: • competent use and inspection of safety harnesses • safe use of ladders • safe erecting, use, moving and dismantling of mobile access/scaffold towers • safe set-up and operation of mobile elevating working platforms. Inspections and audits focus particularly on standards of handrails and toe-boards, as well as access equipment. Records and reports are produced monthly. Preventing unauthorised ladder access Tarmac Northern > Concrete & Mortar Yorkshire > 01423 796800 For sites still using vertical access ladders, an example of effective prevention of unauthorised access has been demonstrated by Tarmac Northern’s Concrete & Mortar Yorkshire. • where there is no access to the rear of the ladder, a sheet steel door, vertical hinged, is closed across the face of the ladder and padlocked • where there is access to the rear, a sheet steel housing is attached to the rear of the ladder, in addition to the steel door at the front.
MAINTENANCE & HOUSEKEEPING Key issues covered include: gates and guarding; housekeeping and site design; safer access; preventing slips, trips and falls; and maintenance of conveyors, crushers, mixers, hoppers, screen decks and spray bars. Slips and trips are the most common cause of major injuries at work, accounting for a third of all reported major injuries across all industries. 95% of major slips result in broken bones, and can also be the initial causes for a range of other accidents such as falls from height.
