PRODUCTION & processing Key issues covered include: bitumen delivery and emergency procedures; conveyors; crushers; concrete production; face activity and inspections; preventing fuel fires; fibre addition and sampling; preventing crush injuries; dust disposal; and maintaining and checking safety bund heights. Further guidance on face operations and stockpiles will be published by the Quarries National Joint Advisory Committee (QNJAC) later in 2006. www.safequarry.com
production & processing: 47 Face activity A new approach to face inspections Bardon Aggregates > Ivonbrook Quarry, Derbyshire > 01629 650275 Bardon Aggregates has devised a new system to improve the effectiveness of daily face inspections. The original inspection was conducted by the face loader operative using a tick sheet. This was handed to the quarry manager who would make any comments and file for record. However, the operative had no specific training, and the simple tick sheet did not capture all relevant information. In addition, it did not provide any guidance to the operator on what action to take in the event of an unsafe face condition. If an incident occurred, it placed an unfair responsibility on the operative. The company’s new inspection sheet incorporates guidance for action and commitment to identify dangerous conditions rather than just using a tick list. The inspection is carried out in accordance with a Safe System of Work. It includes an inspection of the crest in addition to the face, and is now carried out by the quarry supervisor with the face operator. This increases the communication between the operator and the supervisor enabling any safety issues to be highlighted before work commences. > Drill rig safety barrier Hanson Aggregates > Chipping Sodbury Quarry, South Gloucestershire > 01454 314400 Hanson’s Chipping Sodbury Quarry (near Bristol) utilises a drill rig with a fully enclosed cab. When drilling post holes for face barriers, the driller (if he has to leave the security of his cab) is potentially exposed to the unguarded face edge. The drilling operator suggested welding a horizontal pole on to the front of the drill rig frame to act as a physical barrier. This protective system is a considered as a suitable alternative to the wearing of a full fallarrest harness, but only whilst moving between cab and hole top.
