Introduction to CSI (Cement Sustainability Initiative)

• CSI is a voluntary coalition of the top 22 of

the world‟s cement companies under the

WBCSD

• Scope includes their downstream activities,

including aggregates

• TF3 focused on Safety since 2001

CSI Members

include:• Ashgrove • Camargo Correa• CEMEX• Cimentos Liz• Cimpor• CRH • Grasim • Heidelberg Cement• Holcim• Italcementi• Lafarge• Molins• Secil• Shree • Siam Cement• Taiheiyo• Titan• Votorantim

8

Shocking statistic: about 200

fatalities in global aggregates

industry/year

Just on 60% of these were

Contractors (20% each were

Employees and Third Parties)

Most common cause (50%) is

Mobile Plant (trucks, loaders, etc)

Hence determined need to explore

other Companies and Sectors

through a major benchmarking

investigation during 2009…….

CSI – Fatalities by Root Cause

Root cause analysis of CSI driving-related fatalities (2007,

2008, 2009) showed trends in 4 key areas:

• Driver – Driver behaviour (rule breaking), certification

and training

• Vehicle - safety features, loading, pre-trip checks

• Journey – road conditions, signage, journey risk

management

• Leadership - Inadequate procedures, supervision and

reinforcement of safety rules.

International Convergence to Safer Machinery

23

Advisory Committee on Safety & Health at WorkStanding Working Party for Mines & other Extractive Industries

• All 27 EU Member States represented on ACSHW

• Tripartite: Government, Employers and Workers (81)

• UEPG represented on SWPEI

• SWPEI sub task: Mobile machinery design

• Employers have stated: “Design issues causing accidents”

• SWPEI will evaluate concerns and report back to ACSHW.

24

The Machinery Directive: 2006/42/EC

• Sets essential health and safety requirements (EHSRs) for the design and manufacture of safe equipment

• Application of the EHSRs must:

- be based on a comprehensive risk assessement

- reflect the state of the art (if this was reality, essential „extras‟ not needed)

• Users should not have to retro-fit devices to make machinery safe

• CEN SAB OH&S (set up in 2008) has the

objective to give advice to all technical

committees on OH&S-related aspects, and to

coordinate all relevant activities within CEN

• UEPG invited to address SAB OH&S on the

subject of “Safer by Design” on 9 Nov‟2010.

To collate, from Users, voluntary Best Practice Guidance

on health & safety features for new and re-engineered

mobile plant.

To work within the European/International standards

framework (eg: CEN and ISO standards)

To ensure „Safer by Design‟ is communicated effectively to

all stakeholders

To involve the employers, employees and the „supply chain‟

in working together towards achieving Zero Harm.

„Safer by Design‟: Objectives

37

38

Mobile equipment related accidents are some of the

most common accidents in Australian mining

Human error analysis has found that error is often

due to equipment design problems, either in

operability or maintainability

Human Factors Engineering (HFE) attempts to fit

the system to the person rather than making the

person fit the system

Australian Experience

. . . . an internationally recognised issue!
