General SHE issues to be discussed with haulier
•
How do you communicate the Ineos O&P safety requirements to
drivers and sub contractors ?
•
Have all your drivers and sub contractors seen the Ineos O&P safety
video ?
•
Do you have a BBS training program for drivers ?
Describe your program.
Is it in accordace with the CEFIC/ ECTA guidelines ?
Status ?
•
SQAS action plan
- Discuss status SQAS action plan
- SQAS system for new contracts:
- Action plan to be approved by Ineos O&P (for Bonus).
- SQAS review meeting if necessary
- Action plan reviewed and re-approved by Ineos O&P on a yearly
basis
•
Other SHE issues
Working at Height
Ineos O&P do not want people to work at height
without proper fall protection:
•Fall prevention system: no exposure to elevated hazard
•Fall restraint system: prevent a person from falling
•Fall arrest system: arrest a free fall
Working at Height
Some WAH near misses:
Harness not properly worn
Driver training!!!!
Working at Height
Some WAH near misses:
Harness fitted with too long extension leads or shock absorbers
Extension leads make the connection of the harness to the lifeline system easier.
However: if the lead is too long, the fall will be greater, and the potential for injury increases.
OK
NOK
Shock absorbing lanyards may NOT be used, as they expand with
1 metre in case of a fall
(the self retracting fall arrest block or ‘stop block’ will act as shock absorber)
Do you have the right equipment ?
Working at Height
Working at Height
•Do you have a system of regular inspections of the safety harnesses ?
•Have you given training to your drivers as to how safety harnesses must be used ?
•Are the risks of “suspension trauma” known to drivers? (Ineos presentation available !)
•
All our sites have rescue plans and have trained rescue teams !
What can Ineos O&P do ?
•
What can Ineos O&P do to help your drivers to do their work safely ?
Preventing incidents
Near Miss reporting
The next slide explains into more detail the questions in the Ineos O&P
Near Miss reporting document.
Near Misses: guidance on questions Near Miss form
Questions Near misses and description what is meant
Free access to the unloading area:
•Are there obstructions which make it difficult to manoeuvre ?
•Do you need to reverse on site for several hundreds meters with risk of collisions ?
•Discharge area level and stable
•Soft underground (e.g. sand), potholes, steep slope with risk that silo topples over..
•Unloading away from public road
•The unloading is done on the public road with risk of collision with other vehicles or
risk that people would be injured if silo topples over
•Adequate height clearance silo
•The silo could hit overhead lines or cables with the risk that it topples over
•Is unloading point marked with name of product or silo number?
•If the inlet point is not marked or not locked, there is a risk to connect onto the
wrong silo !
•There is no operator, the driver is left on his own and no means to contact operator
•Driver has no instructions, no means to contact someone in case of an emergency
•Direct unloading of truck into small receptacles (e.g. octabins)
•Unloading from a silo/ container truck into small receptacles is dangerous !!!
•Driver has to go on top of truck (e.g. to take sample) without fall protection
•Samples must be taken from the bottom. If customer insists on top sampling, he
must provide safe access facilities to go on top of the truck !!
Near Misses
The next slides show some examples of these Near Misses
Unsafe access to the unloading place,
not enough room to manoeuvre
Unsafe access to the unloading place,
not enough room to manoeuvre
Unsafe to leave the unloading place
Driver report: reversing onto a busy road and no visibility !
Customer action:operator now assists driver
Unsafe access to the inlet connections
•Driver has to climb on pile of pallets to connect to silo (2,8 m height)
Original connection
Extension pipe
New connection
Discharge area not level and stable
Unloading place has a slope: risk of silo
tipping over
Agreed with customer to deliver with box
containers which are shorter and which do
not cause same issues
Unloading from public road
Unloading from the public road
Heavy traffic….
School children are passing by…
What would happen in case of a collision
during tipping ??????
Risk of unloading into wrong silo
Sometimes driver is told to unload in silo nr….
Risk of errors !!!
Inlet lines must be properly marked.
The connection of the hose to the inlet line must be done by the operator
If not done by the operator, the inlet connections must be locked and driver
must receive unique key AND silo number must be given in writing !!!!
No instructions, no means to contact operator
Driver left on his own, no operator, no telephone, no alarm system,
no emergency instructions ….
OK: means to call the operator
OK: Clear unloading instructions
Direct unloading into small receptacles (octabins ..)
If there is not enough space in the silo, drivers are sometimes
asked to unload remainder into small receptacles.
This is dangerous because of the pressure in the hose.
This can only be accepted in case the customer has an installation
with fixed connections to do this safely.
OK
Top sampling
Ineos O&P does not allow drivers to go on top of their truck without fall
protection.
take bottom samples !
If top sample MUST be taken,
customer must provide facilities to
go on top safely
Going on top of truck
Going on top of truck
Driver climbs on top of his container for opening hatches before discharge
There is no need to go top of the container before discharge !
Going on top of container only allowed with fall protection !
Other Near Misses that were reported
????????
Unsafe inlet lines
Customer taped two pieces of inlet line together with tape…
Line was moving because of pressure in it…
Customer agreed to unload
in other silo
Locking pin to keep rear
man entry hatch open
was broken..
The driver had to keep the
hatch in open position for
inspection !
Is dangerous !!
These trucks will be refused
for loading
For demonstration only
28
Communication problems
Communication problems between driver and bulk loader on the epoxy floor
(shouting !) has caused some unsafe situations (misunderstanding by driver).
Geel have now installed a traffic light system
red = stop
green = move forward,
blue = move backward
orange = weighing
29
Road in bad condition
Unloading place with potholes
repaired
Near Misses

Customer action : segregation !
