66: > public perception Visitor safety Lafarge Aggregates > Barham Quarry, Suffolk > 01473 831737 www.safequarry.com Barham Quarry enjoys a significant collect/retail trade. To ensure that visitors can view the products in one safe place, rather than touring the busier parts of the quarry, the site manager has come up with a novel method of displaying the materials produced at the quarry – by housing them in recycled tyres. > Dealing with public trespass Tarmac Southern > Sevenoaks Quarry, Kent > 01732 468930 Tarmac Southern’s Sevenoaks Quarry suffered considerably from trespass, vandalism, dumping of stolen vehicles and so on, which was ascribed to a small section of the residents of a nearby housing estate. Mindful that there is also deep water on the site, and the recent drowning tragedies involving members of the public elsewhere in the UK, the quarry manager developed a proactive approach with two key objectives. Firstly, a set of on-site systems and procedures were formulated for protection of the workforce from the effects of the intruders. Amongst these are the fitting of safety glass to mobile plant (to prevent injury to operator from missiles), and the issue of medical gloves with which to remove discarded syringes. Secondly, in co-operation with the local community, a number of communication initiatives have been actioned. These include: • formation of a Police and Housing Association Committee • employment of security guard • regular warning letters to local residents • local community liaison group (six monthly meetings) • publicity via local newspaper • QPA “Play Safe – Stay Safe” video shown to and left with local schools • CCTV installed on site. These actions are believed to have significantly reduced the potential for a serious accident and the attendant negative publicity for the site and the industry in general.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Key issues covered include: health screening; hand arm vibration; PPE; noise; air filtration and dust monitoring. Readers are invited to study the publication entitled Occupational Health Management in the Quarry Industry which can be found at: http:// www.hse.gov.uk/aboutus/meetings/qnjac/qnjac-ohg.pdf ““We have been much encouraged by the reductions achieved. I sense a step-change in the commitment at the top of the Industry, as well as involvement of the workforce, but we need to take ‘Quarrying’ down the league table of incidence rates. For the future, the ” HSE would like to see particular emphasis placed in the health area.” James Barrett, Health and Safety Executive www.safequarry.com
