“ It’s all a matter of common sense” KEEP THINKING! 14 15 LOOK OUT! WE CARE! “People have to stop and think before they do something” Koos van Tol was appointed as Mammoet’s new Corporate Safety Director in the middle of 2008. He has been with Mammoet for over 30 years and therefore knows the business inside out. He is particularly familiar with safety, health, environment and quality (SHE-Q), the area he is now responsible for. Koos van Tol’s career has ranged from crane driver to regional manager. He knows the ins and outs of the heavy lifting and transport business better than anyone else. Koos has worked all over the world and dealt with a range of cultures and personalities. “I’ve worked with so many different people within Mammoet. They’re all different. So, you can’t just pull a string and expect everyone to do what you want. You need patience, talk a lot and approach everyone differently. The challenge is to find the right way to deal with everyone and get them to do the job. It’s not advanced math but simply a matter of knowing how to deal with people.” Mammoet Minds And it’s no different where safety is concerned. “Safety isn’t magic - it’s about using common sense. Sure, you can introduce hundreds of rules, but what it’s really about is that people have to stop and think before they do something.” And that’s the concept behind the safety campaign initiated in 2008: the Mammoet Minute, a basic last minute check before the work starts. “Through this campaign we want to make everyone aware of the importance of taking a minute before you start the job, just to look around and think about the risks and hazards you might have to deal with. And, where necessary, to take action, so you can do the job safely.” The Mammoet Minute is part of the Mammoet Minds campaign with the theme “Keep Thinking! Look Out! We Care!” which has been rolled out throughout Mammoet to ensure that the Mammoet Way of Working is the same everywhere. Leadership in the field A special training course for supervisors started in 2008. “Our supervisors are working foremen, who do the job together with their people. This training aims to im prove leadership in the field and encourage our supervisors to do even more to ensure safety at the job site, and to improve the safety awareness of our people.” Six groups have now started on the first module of the course, which includes a total of six modules. Once the course is fully developed next year, we will roll it out throughout the business. We have similar plans for our Working at Height course, developed in the UK. “We are now deciding if we can turn it into a Mammoet course to add to the e-learning portal of our intranet.” Van Tol is also thinking about developing a General Safety Awareness Course which, like the Mammoet Minute, should get people to think first, and then act.
SHE-Q “Improving the translations of the course material” “ Key to improving safety” Koos van Tol Training centers All the courses on the intranet will be reviewed and updated where necessary. The regions are also working on improving the translations of the course material. Apart from courses, Mammoet’s worldwide Training and Development Program also offers training facilities. “In the longer term, each region should have its own training center. We now have centers in Schiedam and Malaysia, where we give crane and SPMT courses. By setting up similar centers elsewhere, our people would have to travel less and it would expand our options to provide safety and quality training.” To work in a particular job or area, our people have to complete a number of courses first. These are recorded in the red book everyone carries with them. Improving safety awareness and the change in attitude needed to bring this about, are key to improving safety within Mammoet. Van Tol has plenty of ideas to put this into practice in the coming year. High on his list is setting up a central database with detailed information about the causes, follow-up and prevention of incidents, so that everyone can learn from them. He also wants to introduce a monthly publication for the whole company with a different region discussing a safety related subject in every issue. “In that way you learn about other cultures and the relevant issues.” Finally, he mentioned that Mammoet is considering certification to ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 18001 (safety). “That’s requested by more and more customers. We also want to use that to emphasize the importance of safety and environmental management to our company.” STOP RISKS? SHE-Q “ Learn about other cultures and the relevant issues”
