While interviewing someone from a safety systems supplier recently, our discussion turned to site safety relating to loader cranes and one story in particular. My interviewee told me how one customer has a recurring issue when delivering crash barriers to motorway construction and repair sites. Delivery on-site usually involves driving along a closed traffic lane and using a loader crane to drop off a number of crash barrier parts ready for assembly at regular intervals. This could easily be taking place alongside flows of moving traffic on the adjacent lanes. "For speed" the vehicle driver does not dock the loader crane after each drop, which triggers a loud audible alarm in the cab when the vehicle is moving. To cut the noise out, the driver will wear earphones or ear defenders. |
