Improving Safety for Drivers at our Hyndford Quarry
March 14, 2018
During a recent Visible Felt Leadership (VFL) session at Hyndford Quarry with several contract haulage drivers, it was identified that when leaving the site, drivers had to exit their cabs and descend a set of stairs to get their tickets from the weighbridge as well as checking their weights.
Kevin Hill, Quarry Manager explains, “If they were overweight or underweight they would need to go back and tip off or be reloaded. This meant going up and down to and from their cabs and the weighbridge.
"We have since installed a scale display that shows the drivers their gross weight when in their cabs which, if it identifies they are overweight or short of material, they simply go back without exiting their cab. This simple improvement reduces the potential for slips, trips and falls.”
Great work Kevin !
