WMRC OCM Agenda 6 August 2020 5 WMRC OCM Agenda 6 August 2020 6 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES AND OFFICERS 10.1 SAFETY MANAGEMENT Responsible Officer: Manager Operations Date: 26 May 2020 Attachment: None SUMMARY Risk and safety management issues are discussed below. BACKGROUND Nil DETAIL Incidents and Accidents We have had one incident at the recycling centre. On July 28th at approximately 1.50pm, a resident was dropping off paint at the HHW drop off point. He spoke with the attendant who showed him where to leave the paint. The resident got back into his car (boot still open) and at this point a small truck bringing in greenwaste stopped adjacent to the car. The HHW operator proceeded to speak with the truck driver. The resident then reversed his car approximately 10 meters into the wall of the C&D waste receival bay. After hitting the wall, the resident moved forward towards the HHW shelter, unloaded his batteries, and left the site. He appeared to not be injured by the event, however his vehicle would have sustained some minor damage. The incident was picked up on camera. The footage was used as a training tool at a subsequent pre-start to alert operators of the dangers of working in proximity to traffic and the need to direct traffic. Safety Actions The following safety actions have occurred: • Toolbox meetings continue to be held fortnightly at the recycling centre. • Safety committee meeting was held July 27th with staff safety reps from the office and recycling centre. Quarter 3 safety committee meeting scheduled for Oct 19th. • Training matrix was reviewed, and a schedule was drafted highlighting outstanding actions and gaps in both training needs and record keeping (outdated copies of driving licenses etc.) Covid-19 has restricted some training opportunities; however others were possible during the reporting period including: o Asbestos Awareness Training WMRC OCM Agenda 6 August 2020 7 o Hearing Checks • 3 operators successfully completed and received operator tickets for both the Front-End Loader and the Backhoe • WALGA will be onsite August 4th to conduct HHW (Household Hazardous Waste) training for new members of staff who were not here at the last WALGA training opportunity • Skin checks will be conducted offsite and are available to staff on Thursdays between 9am – 12:30 pm (Limited times due to Covid-19) • First Aid training will be scheduled in coming months for those members of staff that would like to gain a first aid certificate. • Manual Task Training is scheduled for September for Office and Recycling Centre staff • New signage has been erected including speed / exit / waste stream signs • Trees on the exit onto Lemnos
