PART 3 GENERAL SAFETY PROVISIONS 16.1 Imminent Risks If an imminent risk of serious injury is discovered during an inspection, the scheme must require immediate action to safeguard those at risk. This may include, for example, suspension of work in the area or the taking of an item of plant out of use. Situations where such action is likely to be appropriate include: loose ground or overhanging rocks above a loading point, roadway or workplace; a vehicle with inefficient brakes or faulty steering; missing edge protection on roads, benches, ramps and tipping points; machinery with missing guards or faulty safety devices, etc. Figure 4: Crushed by Face Collapse any third party periodic inspections carried out, for example, by an insurance engineer, an electrician, etc. Records must show when the inspection was carried out, details of any significant defects found and any remedial action taken. Significant defects are those which: create a significant risk; or may indicate the existence of a significant design or maintenance problem. The report must be signed by the person making it, and countersigned by an appropriate manager or supervisor. This needs to be someone who can judge whether proposed remedial measures are appropriate and authorise them. Types of defect which need to be brought to the personal attention of the quarry manager, or other designated person, should be identified in the scheme. Sometimes equipment is inspected by, or on behalf of, the operator although it belongs to another person, for example, a hire company or a contractor. In such cases, the owner of the equipment should be informed of any defects found. Anyone who notices a hazard related to the condition of the quarry or its equipment should bring it to the attention of the supervisor or manager without unreasonable delay. A sample checklist and report form is shown overleaf at Figure 5. It is a model which should be tailored to the needs of a particular quarry. It is not intended to be used exclusively as it is presented. 16.2 Records of Inspection and Maintenance Records, which may be computerised with digital signatures, should be kept for all inspections, unless this would involve disproportionate effort, for example, where small tools are inspected by their user before use and the time taken to carry out the inspections is less than the time to record it. Records will always be required, however, where significant defects are found, unless the tool is immediately scrapped. Records are also required for SAFE QUARRY GUIDELINES TO THE SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELFARE AT WORK (QUARRIES) REGULATIONS 2008 29
