Bad News…. Not Quite A Zero Week

Whilst there were no lost time injuries (LTIs) or recordable injuries (TRIs) last week, unfortunately we have had to add a medical treatment injury (TRI) to the Report retrospectively from the previous week.  The injury occurred when a truckmixer driver (Independent Haulage Contractor) was preparing to wash down his vehicle on one of our Plants; he slipped in standing water and struck his head on the rear of his vehicle, requiring stitches to a cut on one of his ears as a result.  Actions planned to prevent a recurrence include modifications to the wash down area to reduce the standing water and relocation of the on/off switch for the stand pipe, so that drivers are segregated from any potential hazards in the area.  In addition the need for prompt reporting of any incidents, in line with our procedures, is being reinforced locally.
