Senior Managers Involvement in an Industrial Safety System
Category: SafetyCandidate 1Imerys Carbonates EMEA Challenge: Creating a safer working environment, improve attitudes and habits
through influencing behaviors; coach, motivate and inspire people to equip them to perform better; improve overall safety culture through leadership, commitment and ownership.
Imerys Carbonates EMEA implemented in 2013 an internal audit management system: “Senior Manager Audit“ (SMA) in all 15 sites in 9 European countries. These safety audits were initially performed by key Senior Managers to both help increase leadership visibility while preventing injuries through hazards and risks identification processes. In 2016, Imerys Carbonates is orientating its focus on Visible Felt Leadership, increasing the involvement of all our Senior Managers on engaging with our workers on site.
Outcomes: Over 3 years, increase in safety culture in terms of no. of Senior Managers involved in SMA; no of audits performed by both senior managers and other visitors; no. and quality of observations from audits; the % of action plan completion from our operations to solve those findings.

« No Dust » teams – Innovation in airborne dust measurements
Category: SafetyCandidate 2Sibelco Europe
Challenge: Committed to reducing exposure of its staff to airborne dust, incl. respirable crystalline silica, Sibelco sought a new way of identifying individual sources of airborne dust generation to be able to prioritise improvements.
Sibelco’s multidisciplinary team of experts – Health, Safety and Engineering specialists – developed for the quarry and mineral processing environment a concept in which real-time dust level measurements are combined with video recording of the activity or process being carried out. The new technology makes dust exposure visible. The equipment - a hand-held monitor and miniature head camera - has been very popular with the workforce, positively influencing worker’s behavior and their personal involvement in Sibelco’s dust improvement efforts.
Outcome: This innovative, and now affordable technology is now being used throughout Sibelco to assist site-based “No Dust” teams in their local dust improvement projects.

Effective Safety Campaigns for Sibelco’s « lifesaving rules » to fuel continuous improvement
Category: SafetyCandidate 3Sibelco Europe
Challenge: Fuel continuous improvement and support the company’s health and safety performance objectives through effective safety campaigns.
In 2013, Sibelco Europe launched its “Lifesaving Rules” with the aim of protecting workers from the most significant safety risks. The rules are supported by existing Performance Standards. Recognising that the rules alone do not provide the necessary “fuel” in terms of understanding, planning, resources and engagement to bring about continuous improvement, a holistic campaign was designed. It clearly explains what standards are expected, provides tools and guidance, raises awareness via tailored campaign materials, provides a framework for measurement of compliance, etc. and this in the 17 European languages.
Outcome: Three successive safety campaigns (mobile equipment / traffic safety; lock-out, tag-out and machinery guarding) carried out by multidisciplinary project teams – operational, engineering & communication -contributed to enhancing greatly the awareness of safety risks.

Conveyor Safety Training Rig
Category: SafetyCandidate 5Tarmac Lime & Powders
Challenge: Reduce incidents with conveyor belts to improve safety performance and achieve zero harm.
Two apprentices based in Tunstead Workshops were given a project to construct a working rig which simulates a worker coming into contact with conveyor moving parts and nip points. Abigail Finney and James Gratton completed a mechanical and electrical construction of the rig. It allows the employees to experience the hazards of the conveyor and serves as an effective safety training and awareness raising tool.
Outcome: The transportable Safety Training Conveyor Rig is used for safety training on site as well as offered to other lime producers in view of best practice sharing. Abigail and James have been awarded by the mpa.
