There were two really good examples of people taking time to “Step In” and Say Something in our Asphalt Operations over the last few days.

In the first, a Plant Manager noted that a Tyre Fitter had incorrectly chocked the vehicle he was working on and also had a cable tie around the pressure relief valve on the compressor in his van, rendering it inoperable. The Plant Manager ensured the vehicle was correctly chocked and advised the Fitter he must not use the defective compressor.

In the second example, an Operator stopped a Driver from working beneath the unpropped body of his tipper vehicle while attempting a repair, ensuring a formal alternative safe method of work could be employed instead.

Thanks go to those involved for looking after each other….. We can all help minimise the potential for injury if we take it on ourselves to STEP IN and Say Something if we see anything that might be unsafe.
