How to start VPP Journey
1. Start with Onsite visit with a VPP Leader (North, Central, and South)
2. Tour of all Fixed Locations & Jobsites looking for safety and health hazards
3. Develop Relationships (mgmt, employees, foreman, union reps, host sites)
4. Gap Analysis – Review of VPP elements – VPP Worksheet
5. Submit VPP Application
MMobile Worksite VPP Evaluation
• One week - Monday noon to Friday noon

Safety Truth #2
More inspectors, specifically more inspectors outside the safety function,
predicts a safer worksite.

All incidents are a failure of Project Management.Oftentimes when an incident occurs we find it coincides with less engagement by Management.Superintendents carry a lot of the burden because the craft worker can “relate” with the Superintendent.

Striving to prevent injuries caused by mobile equipment
December 1st, 2014You may have heard or read about the contractor who was killed last Friday Nov. 28 at a transfer station
located at 300 Forest St. in Braintree, MA (this site is not owned or operated by Covanta).
The worker was declared dead at the scene after he was run over by a front end loader. It appears the
worker, a sub-contractor hired to clear storm drains at the facility, was bent over in the parking lot, lifting a
manhole cover to clean a storm drain. The front end loader was in the process of backing up. It was not
known if either the individual was wearing high visibility clothing or the front end loader had a functional
back-up alarm and camera.

Struck by and run over injuries• Each year there are, on average, 463 fatalities and 48,000 injuries (of which 6,000 are
incapacitating) as a result of backing crashes. Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, November 2008
• One out of every four vehicle accidents can be blamed on poor backing techniques. Source: National Safety Council
• Each month, at least one worker is killed by being backed over by a construction vehicle. Source: National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse
• The leading cause of fatalities for workers in work zones is being run over or backed over by vehicles. Source: National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse
• Between 2003 and 2010, 443 workers were killed as a result of being struck by a vehicle or mobile equipment. Workers were fatally struck 143 times by a vehicle or mobile equipment that was backing up. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics

SCAN-LINK• First an antenna is added to the back of the
loader. This takes about 2 hours for a mechanic to install.
• When an employee wearing a vest with RFID tags embedded, or a hardhat with RFID tags installed is detected at the rear of the equipment and comes within approximately 20ft, the equipment operator is alerted by a visual and audible alarm located in the cab of the vehicle. Picture an imaginary bubble that encompasses the rear of the machine and extends out 20ft at the rear of the machine as the alarm zone.
• We tested it on our tipping floor loader and it has worked fantastically.
Moving forwardThe possibilities with this technology are very exciting:• We are investigating sensors for the doors entering areas
containing mobile equipment that will provide an alarm and/or strobe to notify the operator that someone has entered their space.
• We plan on equipping other pieces of mobile equipment with tags to avoid collisions with the loaders that have the antenna installed.
• We had SCAN-LINK engineer come to the site and they are working on the possibility of this technology helping to enforce the 10 ft personnel boundary to the pit.
3/6/2017

But what does it cost?• The antenna unit that is recommended for Front-end
Loaders costs $2900 a piece.• The hardhat stickers costs about $35 per person
(cost depends on quantity ordered). Each employee has these in their hard hats.
• The vest cost about $45 a piece (cost depends on quantity ordered). We have 15 on site for visitors and have given 5 away to regular visitors.
• All said, we have invested about $15,000 in equipping our site.
• All of these pieces and parts are available from CAT.
Reducing the cost• The more of each detection piece you buy the cheaper
it is, therefore if multiple sites, or even the whole company, placed an order it would reduce cost.
• Also, AIG recently reached out to us through SCAN-LINK because they were also interested in this technology and they entertained the idea of adding an insurance incentive to adding this technology.
