| 732825 | 2008-12-30 03:59:00 | This a sore point with your work? Or do you just have a hangover? Nearly, Been doing Health and safety qualifications for the last few months, Thought I would unleash some of the dribble, sort of fire my guns a few times to test em out. Though seeing as work related accidents very rarely come up around here I had to do a bit of a stretch.....Muhahahahahaha:banana:banana:banana Guess what my next job is going to be.............:waughh: |

| 732827 | 2008-12-30 05:34:00 | Funny that, The entire point of the legislation is to make others responsible for the foolishness of a few. I would assume your company has satisfactory systems in place, a good safety record, and the inspector was satisfied you had done enough to meet your obligations. A written warning would have been given to the company. As for not letting them on site, that's a laugh, Someone is pulling your leg. No warning we now know we didn't do anything wrong, who can predict a numbnuts driver will crawl under his truck. Do you hand cuff the driver before you start work on his truck. Not letting them on site, its my site I own it freehold its my bus company I am the sole director I can do what I want. An Englishman's yard is his castle well something like that. People out there don't get intimidated by OSH they aren't God or the Gestapo. |

Yes, Your outside the law. :thumbs: The way the system is meant to work is when you have an incident or close call you write up an incident report, The Safety officer for your company then uses that to write up a safety protocol, and that then becomes part of your company health and safety policy. When you get a new numbnutts on the payroll you are then meant to make him familiar with the company health and safety policy which now includes various dumb **** stunts pulled by others and what not to do to repeat them. This way you "upskill" your work force and ensure repeat accidents don't occur. Unless of course, Your above the law. :banana:banana:banana Pity they didn't whack you with a big arse fine to ensure you lifted your game. |

| 732830 | 2008-12-30 07:15:00 | I did fill out an incident report from what the mechanic said and it went like this ( cant remember exact wording) The mechanic was under the truck changing a bent and leaking adaptor on the tail lift cylinder. At the same time as he undid the hose connector the driver decided to crawl under the truck and take a look. The tail lift came down as the mechanic was expecting trapping the drivers head into the road. The mechanic refitted the hose and raised the ramp (with oil poring out of bent and leaking adapter) and pulled the driver from under the lift. He wrapped the guys head in a bandage and rung 111. We didn't get a warning I suppose because OSH quite rightly assume bystanders aren't supposed to crawl under trucks when they are being repaired. Its called common sense. It wasnt our truck or driver, our company does outwork. We even had a logging truck in for road ranger gearbox recon last week we fix anything with wheels or tracks. Could we now legally handcuff drivers to their steering wheel because some so called OSH expert in wanganui says we have to do something to protect people from them selves. The driver came from you now where (the people who find it hard to follow instructions and are known risk takers). We invoiced the hell out of the trucking company for time lost and a new first aid kit. |

Well to be honest the driver shouldn't really be anywhere near the workshop, unless invited in and shown a problem, then escorted straight out before work commences again. I know, sounds like a crock of **** but true |

| 732832 | 2008-12-30 08:00:00 | Umm, when I take my car in to get fixed I am always (have taken it to many of workplaces) able to stay and watch and even get under the car if it's up on the hoist or there is a pit under it. Never been dumb enough to cause any accidents either. Now, if an accident did occur I assume it would be the mechanics/workplace's fault. Not mine. If they let me in, it's on their hands. Not sure if that contributes anything but o well |

I know, sounds like a crock of **** but true The truck was on the side of the road Kintara st in Glen Eden. You are right about drivers in workshop they are trouble, the mechanics throw tools at them generally keeps them out of the workshop OSH in the past were bullies but since the Berryman case they were so discredited they have kept their heads down |

So only the mechanic worked for you and he was on someone else's truck off site? ***, You could have mentioned that earlier. That aside, You are meant to protect people from themselves, I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years time mobile mechanics are forced to carry a barricade to put around their work areas to stop the exact situation you described. In our H&S policy I have written in a protocol that states operators are only allowed to do basic maintenance on our gear, and in the event of a breakdown they are to notify either the site foreman or the company mechanic. In the event that work is undertaken on the machine then employees are only allowed to help or be in the immediate vicinity if invited to by the person charged with doing the work. Though this has more to do with the ridicules amount of damage our guys were doing to gear when they tried to fix them then with getting cracked on the head, But it covers the situation. |
