Posted By Francis E S Hone Does any one have a job break / rotation system that works. the feed back i am getting is that some are taking advantage of the system(never)i was of the belief that what we should be doing is job rotation to reduce the risk, and before you ask (fettling operations in a foundry)

Posted By garyh I am struggling to understand your issue here - isn't it a case of using the manufacturer's vibration data (or better, measured on the job), putting this into the HSE's calculator, which then determines "trigger" time? You then have to manage the "trigger time" or get a machine with less vibration? If the issue is just getting people to stick to and record trigger time, this is surely a simple(ish) thing to do.

Posted By Francis E S Hone Gary if was that easy getting people to stick to and record trigger time, (this is surely a simple(ish) thing to do,) I would not have asked for advice from this forum. From your comments I gather you know of a simple solution if so please share Regards Frank

Posted By Bob Youel Use the tools of carrot [education] and whip [discipline] because that's what a manager is supposed to do and its expected in a court! gathering data and creating systems is not enough

Posted By garyh Get commitment from the top, then make sure that it is the written responsibility of those who supervise and manage these workers to comply. If they don't record what is happening in your reporting system. If you don't get commitment (and the rest), again, document everything, put your concerns in writing, then either stay and look at the next priority area (having done your best) or walk and get another job.
