Moving forward the toolbox talks will be broken into categories. The more we post, it'll get easier to just go on and print one before a morning meeting tailored to your industry. And the best part? It's 100% free and there are no advertisements or monetization on the website.

One of the best ways to manage safety outcomes in a workplace is to manage who is allowed in there. We only allow our skilled Drillers and assistants in our periphery and those that are inducted and supervised. #Jarahfiredrilling #Exploration #Gradecontrol #Drilling

Mine Shutdowns are planned in advance to ensure works are completed safely and efficiently, and to reduce the cost of the shutdown. However, do you have a plan if your fixed dust control equipment breaks down unexpectedly? Depending on the root cause of the breakdown (mechanical, electrical, or operational), the time to resolve the issue and the impact on operations will help to determine what are the most appropriate measures required. If continuing operations poses a risk to the health and safety of workers or the environment and have to stop for a period of time, one effective solution may be to hire a mobile dust collector. These units can be mobilised to site and set up quickly to allow operations to continue, while the problem with permanent equipment is resolved. The cost of hiring a mobile dust collector is often much less than having to stop operations for a period of time and can also help minimise the impact on production and reduce potential impact on your customers. With the largest rental fleet of mobile dust collectors, located across Australia, Grydale® are able to provide a rapid solution to keep your operations running while maintaining a safe working environment. If you're interested in learning more about our diverse range of mobile dust collectors, please reach out to our Rental Account Manager, Taylor Brown. Taylor can provide detailed information about our fleet and provide information to get us listed as a supplier, ensuring we can quickly respond to any unplanned requirements you may have. Contact Information: Taylor Brown Rental Account Manager taylor.brown@grydale.com.au By partnering with Grydale® for your temporary (or permanent) dust collection needs, you can ensure that you're prepared for any unexpected scenario to keep your operations running smoothly and ensure the health and safety of workers and the environment are protected.

Personnel-Rated Mine Rescue Systems Timberland Equipment Limited is known for powerful winching and hoisting solutions for mining and construction but did you also know that Timberland supplies: Personnel Hoists PMRH - Portable Mine Rescue Hoist Systems for emergency personnel egress complete with hoist, diesel HPU, truck, hydraulic a-frame and man cages have been used in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Asia. Portable Mine Rescue Hoist system features a truck-mounted hoist, a telescoping boom crane, and a robust worker pod. Once onsite, the system can be set up in as little as 30 minutes. The system doesn’t require the construction of a steel support frame within the shaft, a time-consuming process that also introduces the risk of tools, fasteners, or even steel being dropped down the shaft. It provides the hoist operator with greater visibility of rescuers and the pod at the shaft’s surface access point, while a state-of-the-art control panel allows the hoist operator to program stopping positions, further enhancing safety. The pod itself allows a clear view of where the rescuers are and what they are approaching below the surface. The pod is also equipped with a lighting system and communications technology that uses the crane’s rope as an antenna for real-time information exchange, as well as a remote emergency stop feature. Standard Features • Ideal for rescue and shaft inspection • Dual braking systems, including a caliper disc brake on the drum • Skid mounted for installation on concrete base or customer trailer • Timberland’s Electronic Hoist Monitoring System (EHMS) to monitor overtravel, overspeed, slack rope and provide operator feedback on these conditions via programmable display. Optional Features • Slewing boom • Winch enclosure • Cage with communication system • SIL 2 and international compliance For more information, follow the link: https://lnkd.in/gVcXSUJy #business #construction #mine #mininglife #heavymachinery #earthmoving #drilling #geology #caterpillar #minerals #miningengineering #miningequipment #miningengineer #miningindustry #miningmachines #engineering #mining #innovation #miningheritage #miningtown #miningrig #minning #miners #heavyequipment #heavymachinery #constructionequipment #constructionmachinery #safetyrated #safety #technology #canada #rescue #mininginnovation #miningtechnology #miningsolutions #miningshowcase #personnelhoists #safetyfirst #compliance

NUCA/OSHA Trench Safety Stand Down June 14-21, 2024 Pic: Slide Rail used within the adjacent area of a tank. Why Slide Rail? Why Not A Trench Shield? Part 4 of 5 Greetings! For the fourth day of the stand down---a comment or two on the concept of "adjacent" as used in the standard. We have been considering basic concepts, myths and today what may actually be just a misunderstanding. I chose this as a topic, since generally, when I ask an excavation safety CP class for what the meaning is of "adjacent"---the answer is usually "next to" or "across from" and sometimes "parallel". As we noted yesterday---"next to" is within the meaning of the answer I will give from the standard---but it is not enough and leaves the field leadership without proper guidance. As an instructor or safety consultant---we can do better. That most of your people may not know what "adjacent" means is easily verified by just asking. Generally, where possible, OSHA seeks to provide guidance that can be measured. Some call this Trench Safety By The Numbers. For example---is there an 18" rule, 2' rule (several), 3' rule, 4' rule (2), 5' rule, 6' rule, 20' rule, 25' rule and so forth? Accordingly, in Appendix C a measurement for "adjacent" is given. It is a 1:1 relationship to the depth of the excavation/trench. Accordingly, if my pump station is 20 feet deep, everything within 20' of the edge is considered "adjacent" to the cut. Why is this important? If there is a building, retention wall (soil), or other structures within the "adjacent" area---the competent person has special considerations he must consider. Time does not permit elaboration, but this issue is one of those where OSHA is saying: Competent Person you are good---but you are not that good. A careful reading of the standard suggests that there are certain conditions which will require underpinning, usually involves an engineer, and if the CP thinks that is not necessary---he will have an engineer to agree---in writing. Another issue of when "adjacent" is operative is when you have mobile equipment moving parallel or required to come to the edge of the excavation/trench. Operator safety is also under his purview. Most tabulated data references "adjacent". Some cowardly manufacturers leave the CP and employee safety up in the air in this regard. The issue is surcharge loads being applied to the protective system, be it shoring or shielding. The word was once used for surface encumbrances...but replaced with "located so as to be a hazard to employees". True, you will find the word "adjacent" used similarly in the 1972 Edition of Subpart P. But it is only in Appendix C of the current standard that a definition is provided. 1926.650-652 Appendix C (d)(2)(ii)(A) Adjacent is measurable. It is not left to one's imagination or vague sense of "next to". Words matter! Failure to be attentive to this concept could prove disastrous.

Working in Mining and wondering what Income Protection you need? Naturally, being based in Perth, I have advised on a lot of IP policies for those in the mining sector over the years. In fact I have presented two Statements of Advice to FIFO workers this week alone! These are the key questions I ask my Mining clients before determining the right strategy and contract for them 👇 👉 Do you go to site? 👉 Are you performing manual duties? What does your average day entail? 👉 How do you get to site? 👉 What is your roster? How many hours are you working? 👉What are your qualifications? 👉 How long have you been in your current role? How long have you been in the industry? 👉 What contract are you on? 👉 Are you working at heights, with explosives or offshore? Only once we have established all these can we then work with all available insurers to create the right contract that is tailored to your circumstances. So far this year we have been able to place policies for: 🚢 A tugboat driver offshore 👨🏭 A metallurgist new to the country 👨💼A mining executive 👩💼A Finance Manager for a large mining company 👷♂️A Mining Engineer 👨🔧A shutdown manager on a casual contract Each one had unique circumstances that we had to understand first in order to find the right policy and terms for them. If you are working in Mining and want to discuss your Income Protection needs reach out today 👊

Explosive Expertise: Unveiling Blasting Types and Safety Essentials Blasting is the controlled use of explosives to break rock for excavation. It's commonly used in mining, construction, and demolition. There are several types of blasting: Open Pit Blasting Used in mining and construction to extract minerals and create foundations. Controlled Blasting Minimizes the impact on surrounding structures, often used in urban environments. Secondary Blasting Breaks oversized rocks after primary blasting. Explosive Demolition Dismantles structures like buildings or bridges. Safety requirements include: Planning and Risk Assessment Identify potential hazards and establish safety protocols. Training: Ensure personnel are trained in handling and detonating explosives. Protective Equipment Use safety gear such as helmets, ear protection, and goggles. Safety Zones Establish exclusion zones to keep unauthorized personnel away. Monitoring Use monitoring equipment to detect vibrations and air blasts. Communication Maintain clear communication among all team members to ensure coordination and safety. video rights : respective owners DM for credits/removal #mining #Blasting #engineering #safety #technology #civilconstruction #construction #civilengineering #engenharia ##engenhariacivil
