Lessons learned

• The value of ‘safety walks’ – if this had not been spotted, members of the public or site
visitors/staff could have been injured
• Even professionals can have accidents if a proper LMRA isn’t carried out – they should they
have used a platform or cherry picker instead of their ladder
• The fire brigade should have established a safe area below the canopy in anticipation of falling
debris
• When loose paneling is spotted, the area directly below should be isolated/secured to prevent
injury in the case of falling debris
• If you ever have to speak to the emergency services, make them aware of the potential dangers
and highlight this incident as an example

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!
