EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

01:50

Okay, Vi, let me get started, please. 
VVeronica

01:55

Well, do. Thanks, John. Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to another Friday
safety call. Thank you for joining us. As ever, if you are sitting in a room
with other people, can you note the number in the chat so that I can get
accurate numbers for records? Over to you, Mariah. 
SSpeaker 3

02:14

Good afternoon, everyone and welcome to the regular health and safety
session. Quite a lot of people until now. Hopefully there will be others joining
us. Overall, a good week, unfortunately with one accident, but we had also
visits up from the output for the details a little bit, we'll hand over to
John. Thank you. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

02:49

Brilliant. Thanks, Maria. Thank you for stepping in as well, Veronica, much
appreciated. So, as Maria mentioned, everyone, we have had an incident this
week. Andy, our new head of operations, is on the call, so he's going to go
through the incident. It is under a formal investigation which has just
started. So Andy, if you don't mind sharing with us what we know so far,
please. 
VVeronica

03:14

Yep. Good afternoon, John. Good afternoon, everybody. So, unfortunately, at
approximately 09:05 on Tuesday morning, we had an incident on site which could
have resulted in a very severe incident. A member of our team that had been with
us four weeks was assisting in moving some rail from the existing Sedgy road
compound up onto the corridor, ready to be distributed ahead of the obviously
Ballaston rail installation. The member of the team secured an individual rail
to a spreader beam that was purposely brought to site to lift the section of
rail, which obviously takes out the risk of it bouncing. So it was a specific
piece of kickboard to site. As you can see by the picture, we had a Lundy's
machine assisting. The rail was swung correctly on the spreader beam. The
operative. 
VVeronica

04:19

Then as the machine went towards the ramp where the section rail was being
transported up, the operative was holding the section of rail whilst it was
being transported. As the operation, as the operation got to the bottom of the
ramp, an effluent vehicle, a vehicle that was cleaning out the welfare
facilities adjacent to the Birmingham New Road bridge, came down the ramp and
struck the end of the rail, the actual rail, rather. It beans, if you like. It
was at 90 degrees to the rail, so there was no risk. As such. The driver, apart
from obviously did catch his window scream and cause a crack in his window
screen. 
VVeronica

05:13

But because of the operative holding the rail that was on the same side of the
rail that the vehicle hit it, albeit at the other end, because of the pivotal
nature of what the rail was going to do around the drop chain, the rail then
swung and struck our operative just below armpit. Level in the chest. I arrived
on site sort of ten minutes later. The operative was being seen to by one of our
first aiders who put him into a semi recovery position. He was obviously had his
head supported and we did cover him with a blanket, obviously to reduce
shock. When I approached the operative, his arm looked to be in a funny position
and he was holding his chest. We thought, obviously at that time, definitely
some injury to his arm and obviously some injury to his chest. 
VVeronica

06:16

So I thought potentially, you know, potential breakage breaks. The ambulance
crew arrived ten minutes later. We assisted the ambulance crew to get the
stretcher over to the injured party. The ambulance crew assessed him on the
ground for ten, maybe 15 minutes, got him to a sitting position where the
operative actually moved his left arm, which. Which I suspected was the one that
injured, which was obviously, you know, a bit of a soil relief. And then after
about another five minutes, when he sort of, you know, got his bearings and
that, we actually got the operative to stand up. In doing so again, he did so
with relatively ease. So I thought, oh, well, you know, hopefully his chest
isn't that bad either. The ambulance took him into. 
VVeronica

07:04

The ambulance crew took him into the ambulance, which seemed to be, I don't
know, probably for a good half hour, 45 minutes. And they released him from the
ambulance back into the welfare, where he's picked up by his parents because he
was unable to drive, obviously, due to the injury. And I spoke to the ambulance
crew and I asked them for a bit of a prognosis. They said he's been extremely
lucky and that he's ended up with. Obviously he'll end up with some quite severe
bruising, but they didn't state that at that time that anything else was
untoward. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

07:46

You okay? And how is our colleague at the moment? Have we been in touch with
him? 
VVeronica

07:52

Yep. So we was so through his parent company yesterday, we touched base with
him. He had been to the hospital for a secondary scan, if you like, which showed
no further injuries. Just as a precautionary measure, on the evening of the
incident, we believe he's resting up at home and dependent on, obviously, you
know, whether he's dependent on, obviously, the bruising, etcetera. We
anticipate him to be back with us at work on Monday. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

08:28

Excellent news. Okay, so as I say, I know the. Obviously the level two or the
formal investigation has commenced. The panel has been selected by myself, so we
will give regular updates on this over the next couple of weeks to let everybody
know where we are with this. But initial couple of thanks, obviously, to
yourself, Andy, for coordinating on site at the time. And also to Martin. I know
Martin Pont is on the call as well, who sort of helped immediately with drawing
together as much information as we could. So really appreciate it. So, Maria, is
there any comments on this? I know it's very fresh at the moment and the
investigation is just underway, but any thoughts? 
SSpeaker 3

09:15

Yeah, I would refer to mention anything in relation to the causes or anything
like that. I will just focus on thanking everyone who acted very promptly and
calling the emergency services who attended and provided our. With the necessary
first aid and the first assessment. So that's absolutely commendable. And the
second thing that I wanted to say, I really wish him the, you know, the speedy
recovery and hopefully that's. That's something that we can all learn out of it
and. Yeah, and I will keep it very, very short. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

10:08

Yeah. Much appreciated. Thanks, Maria. Yeah, it's, again, we talk about that
very small l word. Look, if the wind has been blown in a different direction, we
may have been talking about a fatality on this occasion, everybody. So the real
thankful thing is that he's going to be back with us very soon with no lasted
injuries. But it's something that we've taken very seriously indeed. All works
have been suspended while we sort of investigate this and we know what's going
forward. We're changing a lot of the. Or actually reviewing a lot of the lifting
practices. There's a bit of an update regarding any visitors. Andy was very
quick to implement a project wise instruction regarding any visitors, regarding
whether it be a delivery or any type of plants or vehicles moving within. In our
sites, they must be accompanied. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

11:11

We must know that they're there. There is an initial observation that the wagon
involved here, we didn't actually know he was in that location. And certainly
it's been a big contributing factor to this thing that's gone on. So again,
thank you again to the team that acted so swiftly. But as I said, we could have
been talking about fatality at this stage. So again, that little look where it
comes into play and we build on this now we make major improvements. So thank
you, Andy. Thank you, Maria. Much appreciated. 
VVeronica

11:43

Thanks, Joe. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

11:45

Okay, so were, I know during last week's call, I was on leave. Stuart deputized
for me. And I know we spoke a lot about. We have a lot of our plant fitters go
out on site. So this is just to reinvigorate the message that Stuart andy
delivered last week. So following a number of issues on site related to those
plant fitters, we have actually spoken to the supply chain to ensure they will
report into the relevant site contacts before any work is undertaken. This
allows us, we know that they're on site before any work has started. We ensure
that fitters are not working on their own and, you know, we don't actually know
that they're around and ensure the work is being actually carried out. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

12:32

The message from Andy is that he wants everybody to adopt the following approach
as far as reasonably possible. Ensure the fitter is within a correct level of
PPE. While the fitter is on site, the relevant plant operative remains with the
Iceman plant to ensure the fitter is not long working. They're not on their own,
but the fitter carries out his work safely and the operator is available to
assist the fitter. If the item of plant requires moving from the location that
they find it in, that's really important. So I've shown in red and he has asked
for that to be highlighted and if possible, isolate the item of plan from the
main works to establish a safety zone or move it to a safer area. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

13:11

And then just as a follow on to that, Andy again has sent out a correspondence
this week just to elaborate a little bit. So, further to the incident that we've
just been talking about, can we please extend our control measures to all third
party vehicle drivers? Like I've just mentioned, that all attend our works on
any type of basis, whether it's planned or a laptop basis. This is to include,
I'm not limited to water and waste services, skips, muck away wagons, material
delivery vehicles, material testers and welfare and ancillary provider
personnel. So going forward, they must be escorted on and off the site or be
controlled by a series of vehicle marshals where distance needs to be traveled
and the relevant control measures must be included in our methodology. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

13:57

All the above should be briefed on our procedure by the relevant gate man or
gate person, an enslaved site and displaying a green thumbs up. And it's not
hard to miss, guys, because it's a huge, big green thumb. Andy, would you like
to elaborate a little bit further? Yes, John. 
VVeronica

14:16

So, time and time again, and to be fair, we have been in touch with procurement
teams, etcetera. Time and time again, we see plant fitters almost left to their
own devices or people attending site delivery materials without the right level
of PPO. And we need to be, you know, we have a duty of care to these people and
we obviously also need to educate them. So it's really important that we control
not only our own activities, but the activities of other people visiting our
site to obviously maintain, plant, deliver materials, etcetera. You know, we
must be on top of our game to prevent, you know, again, like you just said, what
happened on Tuesday could have been an absolute different ballgame. You know, it
could have been. It could have been a loss of life. 
VVeronica

15:05

And if it wasn't for, obviously, the people involved, you know, we're making
sure that we've got that level of competence, if you like, that we, you know, we
don't want to just keep going away. We. So we've got to control everybody on
site to make sure that they are safe when they're carrying out their works. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

15:25

Thanks, Andy. And just to confirm this message has been conveyed across the MMA,
it's not just for Wednesbury, it's for b, it's for the depot, it's for
everything else that we do. 
VVeronica

15:35

Yeah, absolutely, John, 100% brilliant. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

15:40

Okay, thank you. Okay, so we'll move into our safety inspections. And again, I'm
bowled over by the numbers that you are doing, guys. I said I'm really pleased
with an excess of 200. So to have returns of in excess of 320 during a seven day
period is terrific. Also really pleasing to see all the negative responses. It's
as though we're starting to realize, I have mentioned this before, that we are
looking for the things that can go wrong at last. You know, it's great and I
really want to see that improve. Main topics of safety, though, are still around
exactly the same things. And I do question and it's something for our leads on
this call, you know, is the message of this Friday safety call getting out to
everybody? Is this being shared with your wider teams? 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

16:34

Because we're still getting the same inspections week after week. Those three
have been in the top three for a number of months now. So weather very, very
important and I appreciate that. There are lots of other tasks that we carry out
there, and it was appear that we may not be actually looking at these things. So
please make sure that we share this message. These inspections should be based
around the work that we're actually tasked to do. It's great that we're doing
things around security and we're maintaining the levels of security. It's
fantastic that we'll look around the excavations and certainly around doing
those checks around mobile plants. But are we looking at the other really
important things, the big risks that we may have planned, people interface,
working at heights, you know, are interface with members of the public. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

17:23

Are we doing those type of inspections as well, out of another fantastic return
of 165 close calls, 35 of them were around those three topics. But as you can
see there, other significant close calls related to road vehicles and
pedestrians, welfare and general site tidiness. And again, another terrific
return with safety conversations. And a thank you to every one of you who are
holding these. There were 32 of those raised or covered around those three that
we talked about, but then we also spoke around the tidiness of our sites. We
know we've got to keep our work sites clean and tidy. It helps to prevent slip
trips and falls, also dust. And then that issue that we have, I've just
mentioned with plan people interface to take this one bit further, something
that I did talk about a few weeks ago. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

18:13

And again, this has actually come in from one of our senior team as well. And
it's a challenge that is going to be taken up by Stuart Carter, one of our team,
and the rest of the team. But there are numerous sort of analyses, some of the
trends from this past seven days. There are numerous close calls regarding
puncture risks for things like caps missing from rebar, nails pointing upwards
from wastewood, and why is sticking out from damage fencing. So what can we
actually do to address this? Should we just be going around raising a close call
or should we actually be speaking to our people about why this is
happening? Should we actually be taking care of this right at the start of the
job? 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

18:54

There are numerous close calls regarding site security, as I just mentioned,
fencing clips missing or damaged site gates being left open and unapproved,
access through temporarily removing panels or fence. Again, is this a trend? If
it is, what can we be doing about it? Are we just going to say, well, it's okay,
we'll just raise it as a close call, somebody eventually will listen? Or are we
going to do something about it right now? Are these part of your daily
checks? What are we doing about it? Are we planning to stop these type of things
from happening? There's also a specific close call being raised about dust
suppression. This past few days, someone was using a sort called Cape stones,
which says just suppression wasn't possible. Is that actually true? And if so,
is it an opportunity for innovation? 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

19:40

Does anyone out there, anyone who's listening, have any ideas regarding this? It
may well be that you come up with a fantastic idea, a really good practice that
we can adopt. So please speak to your safety team, speak to your line manager,
speak to your supervisors, use Carl if you want to report it through Carl. But
Stu, I know you've got a few words you want to say about this, I have surprised
you a bit by putting it on the screen. I know that. But this is a challenge
you've accepted with good grace. Thanks, John. Yes, you have to surprise me a
bit. But yeah, this has obviously come through from Paul as a follow up from the
weekly email I send out on a Friday dinner time. And he's absolutely right. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

20:26

We probably don't do enough to analyze the whole close calls and conversation
trends that we get coming through. So it will be a useful exercise for
everybody. I think it's just a matter of how we go and disseminate that
information out to people. But, yeah, definitely a good call from Paul and
something we can use to our advantage, I would say. Brilliant. Thank you,
Stu. And Maria, as a really terrific user of Carl, what are your thoughts? 
SSpeaker 3

20:59

Well, I think that there are, you know, there are many things that might seem,
initially when you go inside might seem irrelevant or might seem minor, but, you
know, when you think about what can happen, you know, if that hazard is still
there and nobody is removing it and the consequences is, it's really huge. So
it's always about keeping your mind open and raising it and discussing it with
the site team that is working in the vicinity. That might not really look at it
from the same perspective, but just raising awareness on it and getting from
having that discussion to the action and removing it, that's what we want from
the team. 
VVeronica

21:56

You do. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

21:57

Thank you. And it's a great opportunity now to actually offer a challenge. I'm
going to give a challenge. So right from day one, myself and my team have
challenged every single person to be engaged in Carl in the usage, so involved
in safety conversations now, we are really excellent in safety briefs, which is
horrific. So big. Well done. Again, to everybody who's doing them in raising
close calls. Our supply labor, supply partners are doing a great job there as
well and are really supporting the numbers. But it's the challenge to those of
you who are working in an office role. You don't need to be out on site. You
don't need to be out on site to see things that might be unsafe. You'll see
plenty of things around the office environment that you're in. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

22:53

You'll see plenty of things when you park your car and you walk into your office
environments, you'll be looking out to the window, maybe looking into a compound
and you may see things. Don't just turn your head and say, it's got nothing to
do with me. I don't care whether you're commercial or whether you're working
with the communications team, you don't have to be a site worker to recognize
that something is unsafe. So I'm asking you people, those of you who don't
normally engage with Carla, can you actually show me that you're watching,
seeing what's going on, and you're actually identifying these issues and letting
us know? 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

23:28

If you let us know, it further enhances the great reputation that we've got
about us measuring our safety and keeping everywhere safe, including our
offices, including our walkways, including our store areas, including our work
site areas. It could be members of the public who are coming past us, driving at
speed or driving erratically. And we've got members of the public crossing the
roads, accessing our areas. It could be materials that you can see lying around
everywhere. It could be a lazy colleague takes a bag off her shoulder, puts it
on the floor, and leaves the straps out, and somebody can trip over the
straps. It could be a cleaner who's not put boards out to show you that the
floor's wet. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

24:09

All of these things have the potential to cause an accident or injury or harm to
a colleague, to a visitor, to anybody who's within our office areas that isn't a
regulate in that position, and you're actually going to put them in danger by
not recognizing this and not reporting it. So there's the little challenge, and
I will be watching out now for the next two or three weeks, just to see whether
those irregular users are going to come a little bit more regular and get
involved for us. So I say, please accept that challenge and prove me
wrong. Okay, so, protecting you from dust. We just measured it before. Working
in an area where dust has been created, the wearing of a dust mask can
beneficial to your respiratory health. What type of dust masks do we have out
there? 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

24:55

We have lightweight disposable respirators, commonly known as dust masks, and
they're often used within our construction industry works. These masks will
protect against dust and other airborne particles. The mask that you're using
must be compliant to the standard shown there, and it must also contain that CE
mark. You'll see it in the example. The number 1463 is the standard mark and is
the CE mark. And the standard EM 149 2001 is actually stamped on the mask
itself. At MMA, we utilize the FFP three mask, which indicates the level of
protection. I must tell you that FFP one and FFP two masks are not suitable for
any of our works on the alliance. FFP three are advised to be used for anything
like silica or concrete dust, and certainly for any mold. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

25:50

So if were knocking somewhere down, they may have that type of spore or asbestos
and those type of things. Proper fit and seal masks. So not all of our faces are
the same. So ensuring a well fitted mask is crucial to us all. We must ensure
the mask doesn't leak around the seal, allowing dust to entertain, really
importantly, to notice if you have a beard or any thick stubble, the face
respirator will not work effectively. There are limitations as well. So
remember, a mask only protects the individual wearer. Others working in the area
remain at risk if they do not wear masks too. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

26:26

So disposable dust masks, like you'll see in the hospitals and the doctors,
those that we wore during COVID they are not suitable alternatives for approved
face masks, such as an FFP, when you are working around those silica and the
concrete dust. So remember, it's mandatory at MMA, you must have a face fit test
prior to wearing one of the FFP three face masks. You must also be clean shaven
to wear one of those masks at the top, on the right hand side. For those of you
with facial hair, alternative RPE is available. And this must be pre planned by
your managers so they'll know the people that they're using. We don't just have
people turn up on the day. And so it is really important that we plan and use
this. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

27:15

Do not put yourself in danger of health and risks of future health issues due to
working in the dusty environments. I've actually stopped people in my career and
said, why are you standing in this area? There's a huge dust cloud around
you. And I've had responses like, it looks great, John, it looks great. Just
watching the work that's going on here, I said, do you not consider yourself
being at risk because you are breathing in this dust? And I said, oh, no, we've
only been here for five minutes. We're okay. So there's a real poor
understanding, and it is down to us and yourselves as managers and supervisors
to ensure that we plan out that risk. So, really important, guys. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

27:59

So this we mentioned again over the last couple of weeks, and the communications
team have asked me to, just to reiterate, it's coming to an end next
Wednesday. The survey will close. I know you have lots of surveys across the
alliance, but it's really important. We need to understand what your thoughts
are. They are anonymous. It takes less than five minutes to complete it, and it
helps us to determine what you're thinking of. A number of topics around
management objectives that we may be set and we're working to, as well as safety
and well being. So scan the QR code to the right to begin this. You see
this? It's on the. It's in our in house magazine, which is being emailed out by
the comms team today. It's on notice boards. It's completely anonymous. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

But it's really important, guys, that you complete this for us. We need to
understand what's going on. Okay. This following week, really important that we
take this on board. Working in the sun can be really dangerous. If you look at
sort of from today into the middle of the week and in the back end of the week,
it's going to be really excessive. These temperatures, as you know, are recorded
in not in the direct sunlight. So you could probably add three, four, five
degrees on top of these. These things can cause dangerous conditions such as
heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, which is also sunstroke. Taking
precautions and planning them, such as regular water breaks, brakes out of the
direct rays of the sun, will go a long way to keep our colleagues safe. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

And the one that I do use here is, can we actually start a little bit earlier so
we allow the teams to finish that little bit earlier so they're not in the
direct sun all day long. Please be vigilant as ever. Plan accordingly and ensure
you plan for the changes in the weather, particularly as any worsening on site
conditions. And I also put this note in the bottom of keeping track of what our
comms team say, because, as ever, they're right on the ball. This has been
produced today. There is a yellow heat health alert has been issued for the West
Midlands area. All of those in yellow from Monday the 29th at 0900 to Wednesday
the 31st at 2300. Please note the Met Office may issue national severe weather
warnings for extreme heat with short notice. You'll need to be aware of them. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

This is why we do this thing every single week. We do have some excessive
heat. We're hoping that you're planning this. We're hoping that you're looking
after your team. We're hoping that you're making sure that they do not
dehydrate, that you can give them some regular breaks, and that you're actually
monitoring this as well. It's really important that we're supervising it. Maria,
that is the end of the slides for today. Is there anything you would like to say
further before we sum up and close this meeting?

Yeah, just very quickly. I think it's very important. It's linked to this yellow
heat health alert. So obviously, everyone make sure that you are getting the
right protection when you are working on site and even when you are going to
site or going back. Second is in particular in this weather, the effect of the
dust and not having an appropriate measure for dust suppression or wearing the
right PPE can increase the risk of, I don't know, lungs, scars, can increase the
risk of shortening of breasts, and also in particular for the people that have a
condition of asthma, but also people like me who have allergies, you know, and
when you go around that area, can increase the impact on yourself.

So I really like the, you know, your challenge, John, about people in the
office, and I'm sure that if we are asking everyone on the call, you know, who
is responsible for safety, everyone will answer. You know, it's everyone's
responsibility, safety. So yeah, let's make sure that we are also proving it by
action and we raise close calls or any input safety conversation on any
potential hazard or any improvement or any safe act that we are seeing,
witnessing, and we want other people to be aware. So thank you. Thank you very
much everyone, for listening and stay safe. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

32:34

Thank you. Maria. Thank you. Martin, I have seen your email. Thank you. I will
review it and I'll come back to you accordingly regarding dust suppression. So
thank you for that as well as ever. If you do have anything that you'd like to
contribute, then please contact me. Let me know. This shouldn't just need to be
me talking sort of to you or having one of my, one of our directors just sort
of, you know, speaking from a presentation. If there's something you'd like to
share, please get hold of me. If there's other things that you would like to
have contributed in this, for, in this forum, it is there for you. It is your
safety forum. I just facilitate it. So let me know if there's anything that
you'd like to discuss on a regular basis, and we'll certainly do that. 
EELLISON, John (RKTB3)

33:21

And that goes from all levels, goes from our clients, it goes to our management,
it goes to our supply chain, it goes to you guys who are managing people, and it
certainly goes to you guys who are out there in the sun and the rain and the
snow and everything else that goes delivering the works for us. So if you got
something you'd like to share, please do. Just come through the regular
channels, contact me or one of my safety team and we will certainly ensure we do
that for you. So if you're working the weekend, please be careful. Watch out for
the hot weather. If you haven't that time off. Enjoy it with your family and
your friends. But take care, everybody, and we'll catch you all next week. All
the best, everyone.
