1 Fox s Biscuits Practical ways to reduce slip & trip incidents in the workplace Presented by Phil Kelly - Divisional H & S Manager Richard Thompson - Site H & S Manager

2 Slip & Trip Accident Statistics Batley: 07/08 54 slip/trips accidents (25 % of total accidents) 2 reportable (1Major) - 18,000. combined total of 95 days absence. Kirkham: 08/09 13 slip/trip (33 % of total accidents) 1 reportable OTD - 7,200 If proof were needed, these figures confirmed that slips & trips are a significant cause of injury/loss in the food manufacturing industry

3 Light Bulb Moment These statistics gave us focus to improve our practical and behavioural controls Accidents had a significant impact on site performance, i.e. 1.Unacceptable AFR compared to company targets, 2.Unacceptable costs (claims as company had a significant deductable amount on each claim), 3.Low morale of workforce at seeing their colleagues injured.

4 Phase 1 Car Park before improvements

5 Phase 1 Car Park after improvements

6 Phase 1 Slips & Trip hazards before & after improvements

7 Phase 1 Slips / Trips Before & After

8 Phase 1 Cleaning stations situated at key points within key production areas providing easy access to equipment to enable Clean As You Go

9 Slip & Trip Accident Statistics Batley: 10/11 24 slip/trips accidents (a reduction of 53 % on 07/08 figures), with 2 reportable OTD Kirkham: 10/11 4 slip/trips (a 66 % reduction on 08/09), with 2 reportable OTD So, an overall reduction in slip & trip incidents, however we still needed to do more WHAT WERE WE MISSING?

10 What were we missing? Policies Standards Risk Assessments Audits People s Procedures Engineering Communication Behaviour Controls

11 Phase 2

12 Phase 2 Walkways have been defined to provide a safe route around the sites; these walkways have been coated with a special anti-slip paint. Adherence to the use of walkways is a defined Key Safe Behaviour on site and is actively monitored through SUSA observations.

13 Phase 2

14 Phase 2 The SUSA observations are also applicable in nonproduction areas where there is a risk of slips & trips, i.e. corridors and offices.

15 Phase 2 To support the SUSA programme, further physical improvements were introduced, at a relatively low cost to the business these additions enabled our employees to take responsibility for the condition of their own safety footwear. Octomat

16 Phase 2

17 Phase 2

18 Phase 2 Compressed air lines have been relocated to eliminate the need for them to trail across work areas when operators are carrying out cleaning activities, therefore minimising trip incidents. Cable covers have been provided in the offices and training rooms.
