With great difficulty :-)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob

Thanks Bob, Freelance. It's impossible. I trained as a carpenter, and obviously my hands have taken a few knocks over the years. With regards to reporting, if I was still on the tools I would say "oh bother". and carry on. Maybe i'll post some more Exor accreditation questions later. regards Brett

The only guys that can make it happen are the workers. What I do is this; tried talking to them as nacho as possible to always report all accident/nearmisses no matter how little with no fear of penance (which is the main problem), so that others can learn from it. However, its left for them to do that, without the workers its impossible to gets all of them. So, if you must get all, try to change the mentality of your workers about accident and nearmiss reporting.

Exor want you to answer the question, not actually do it. So tell them what you do: the procedure, the toolbox talks, the policy of no-blame incident investigation, the employee hand book that calls for it and all the other initiatives. Me, I love a good questionnaire, much more fun than actually doing any safety management, trying to persuade some remote box-checker that I am already doing it. I got 18001 accreditation from a UKAS third party so that I could fill out fewer questionnaires and what happened? Even the ones who used to say "send us your accreditation" started asking for evidence. Now there's a bunch of red tape ready for shredding. If only we could get recognition for just the one system.
