After 1 million man hours without LTI (Lost Time Injury), which is a pretty good safety record, we sadly have had 2 fatalities in a month- one a road accident, where the driver smashed into a heavy lorry on the federal road, and the other 2 days ago when a 16m-scaffold fell down with a contractor on it. This of course is a very sad occurrence and a great shame after all this time operating safely.
Today, the CEO came to basecamp and just did a talk about the situation.
Awful circumstances aside, it was interesting to see how the management team is dealing with this situation, informing staff and stakeholders and how the problems are explained. Whether the extra entreaties to work safely will be heard I do not know, but I was very impressed with the delivery. Far more relevant and human than any HSE review meeting I have been to so far-although of course there have been no office fatalities as yet.
Something to mull over.
