The MPA are advertising a regional Health & Safety Awareness Day on 15th October at the JCB Visitor Centre, Rochester, Staffordshire ST14 5LS and Kevin Quarry, Ramshorn, Oakamoor, Staffordshire, ST10 3BX, hosted by J C Bamford Excavators Ltd.
The day is designed to promote best practice and encourage the whole workforce to be the eyes and ears of fellow workers and will count towards 8 hours of CPD.
The day will include topics on:
Isolation of Energy and Lock-Off – serious incidents continue to occur, it is not just electrical isolation, but the release of stored energy in conveyors and other equipment.
Mental Health – how to recognise the early warning signs that a colleague is having trouble, learn how to start the conversation and how find professional help.
Live First Aid – action by the first person on the scene is crucial to survival, battlefield techniques are just the job in a remote quarry location.
Geotechnical Awareness – recognising a change on the face since yesterday could be a lifesaver and stockpile slips can engulf a loader if not worked correctly.
Workplace RCS – updates on workplace legislation and developments in personal protection and monitoring.
Lifechanging Events – a death or serious injury to a colleague can have a profound and far reaching personal impact on us all, not to be underestimated.
Members, non-members, contractors, hauliers and all other interested parties are more than welcome to attend.
Price is £100.00 + VAT per delegate. To book contact: jane.blake@mineralproducts.org
