Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 380

17 October 2013

Safety Helmets

Please see enclosed a self-explanatory bulletin that was shared with us by JCI.

Although PPE is an item that is audited every week on the F1.3.1 safety checks, it must also be checked
every day before use. Do not rely on the weekly audits to find problems, as by then it could be too late!

You should always ensure that you look after your PPE and don’t just throw it into the van so that
safety helmets roll around, safety glasses get scratched and harnesses get tangled; these items are there
to protect you from being injured. Making sure your PPE is protected during transit is all part of your
job preparation and if you think it’s necessary carry spares.

If you feel your PPE is not suitable, or is incompatible with other PPE / work practices, please let us
know.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works
for us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
