b. Such training should include not only basic safety precautions, but also a
thorough understanding of the correct use of all plant, equipment and tools.
c. In addition, knowledge should be given of the forces of both energy and
mass which the crew control through the medium of the drill rig.
d. The prime concept of this training is to teach each crew member to do his
own job efficiently and safely, and to so work with the other members of the
crew that good and safe team work becomes instinctive.
e. This not only results in steady and safe progress, but secures higher
production.
f. All training whatever the size of the organisation, should be formally
programmed throughout the number of stages required by the personnel
concerned. Each step in the training module or syllabus should be monitored
by a fully trained instructor, and duly recorded towards the eventual
certification of the trained crew member upon completion of the course
concerned.
g. Training should be so presented that the stimulation of personal interest and
the known attainment of craft and skill achievement is a main aim and result.
Such training therefore should be initiated and encouraged by both
management and supervisory staff.
h. Emphasis should be made on the value of efficient teamwork towards the
goal of high and safe production.
i. It cannot be too strongly stressed that the operatives’ involvement and
outlook is dependent upon the quality and support of the employer.
j. The responsibility for all aspects of site safety rest with all levels of
management.
1.5.11 WELFARE AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
a. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (United Kingdom) requires
every employee, while at work, to take reasonable care for the health
and safety of himself and of other persons who may be affected by his
acts or omissions at work. In this regard, personal and site safety and
hygiene are most important.
b. Adequate and suitable protective clothing should be provided for any person
employed who, due to the nature of his work, is required to continue working
in the open air during rain, snow, sleet or hail.
c. Adequate accommodation for personnel to take shelter during bad weather,
for the storage, drying and changing of clothing and for taking of meals
should be available. Such accommodation should include the facility for
boiling water, heating food and the provision of washing facilities to permit
personal hygiene. Personnel should be encouraged to wash before
partaking of food.
