RESULTS

5

FCA’s Fatal Free Days: 24 Days Delivered Fatal Free Days: 38 Days

27 June 2013 Work Stoppage

• FCA believe Delivered don’t adhere to life saving rules includes speeding, driving in

misty conditions, tailgating, following distance, and number of trucks

• Delivered believe FCA don’t adhere to life saving rules includes speeding and driving

in misty conditions

• Very little effort to reduce queuing and standing times at Sources and Power

Stations – leads to fatigue

• Transporters lack competent Operations and Safety Managers
• Work stoppage sessions should happen more often and not when fatalities occur
• Not all transporters promote safety incentives
• Some transporters still remunerate based on loads and not pay as per NBCRFI

6

27 June 2013 Work Stoppage (Cont.)

• Many transporters don’t have transporter safety packs or they are not updated/

accurate

• Rapid and extensive Public awareness of the coal transportation business in order to

reduce public caused fatalities

• High driver turnover and suggests the lack of consistency of competent drivers – not

all drivers have defensive driver training. The need to screen drivers is critical

• Owners have concern over driver attitudes/ concern over behaviour once they are on

their own on the roads

• Not all companies install drive cams proactively. This is improving but not fast

enough

• Evident that there is a difference between companies in management participation,

understanding and support to the drivers

• Road conditions pose a serious safety concern and leads to fatigue due to the

increased concentration required

7

Road Conditions

• The Hendrina Carolina and Breyton Ermelo roads (not indicated what

the problem is, but generally complaints that the roads are too narrow)

• The bridge on the R38 from Tutuka to Bethal is too narrow
• Carolina Ermelo road too narrow
• Visibility at the R542 / R35 stop
• Kriel / Kinross intersection - high accidents
• R546 - public vehicles don’t stop at the STOP
• Coming off the N3 into Nigel needs a robot
• Balfour Heidelberg road is too narrow

8

Other useful control measures requested

• Drive cams in all their trucks – good response however
• pportunity for all to comply
• Installation of side under-runs on all their trucks
• Provide Eskom with a fleet list of all Eskom Business

routes to control number of vehicles on the road and to curb congestion at destination

• All vehicles to have full and extra visibility markings where

possible for the truck to be identifiable in poor visibility conditions.

• Global telematics tracking OBC systems DX 250’s on all

trucks and give Eskom a view of their Eskom business trucks

PROFILING COMPANIES AND DRIVERS

2013/09/04 10

• Reason for issuing of Driver ID Tags per driver:

a) Regularly monitor and assess driver behaviour

b) Profile driver behaviours that warrant specific training and to arrange accordingly c) Reward good drivers based on safety performance incentives d) Manage poor performing drivers from a safety perspective e) Manage poor performing companies contractually who are not managing safety proactively

Monthly Overloading Trends

Weekend Stoppages - Background

• During the 5 year period, there were 134 incidents resulting in

fatalities (regardless of the number of fatalities in each of the incidents)

• 68% of the incidents (91) were at night (18:00 – 06:00)

14

Fatal Incidents per day of the week

68% of the fatal incidents happened at night, i.e. 18:00 – 06:00 00:00 – 24:00

15

Day of the week – Night time

Trending per night

The other nights all trend downwards

19

Conclusion

• For the 5 year period:
• 36% of the fatal incidents happen between Friday 18:00 and

Sunday 06:00

• 15% for a Friday night
• 6% for a Saturday during the day
• 15% for a Saturday night
• The trend for a Friday night and Saturday night is increasing (as

well as a Thursday night), especially at the very end of the window period

Controls to be put in place

20

• 1. The stoppage during night times only allows companies to rest their

drivers as well as Roshcon employees

• 2. If Roshcon is rested we can have more resources to ensure more

visibility on the roads during the day

• 3. Working during the day on Saturday relieves the pressure and prevents

the impact of the night stoppages on Fri and Sat from rolling over to Sunday which may cause other safety problems like congestion, queuing and tailgating

• 4. As a control we can institute 100% alcohol testing in our operation in two

ways:

• a. Roshcon random alcohol testing
• b. Transporters testing at their yards before drivers leave the yard.

For example, Jabula does this as a routine practise

• 5. Stoppage may hurt already cash strapped transporters and this in

conjunction with operational inefficiencies could cause transporters to take short cuts especially on safety measures. Drivers may lead to poor driving behaviour to meet targets and cover losses

Controls to be put in place

• 6. If we adopt this stoppage we need to up our operational game on the

days we do operate by giving assurance that:

• a. Coal is available
• b. Ensure accuracy of coal availability report
• c. Prevent excessive rerouting
• d. Manage delivered fleet and size by:
• i. Sticking to the hourly rates
• ii. Providing Eskom the daily weighbridge

data

• iii. Proving Eskom a fleet list
• g. Ensure loading infrastructure at mines are effective and adequate
• h. Ensure offloading infrastructure at power stations are effective and

adequate i.

Phase 1 Rollout: February 2012

22

• Lack of update of the companies safety pack and timeous provision of updates to

Roshcon Safety

• Lack of adherence to companies own transportation safety plan
• Adequacy of the number of truck drivers - taking 12 hour shift times into account
• Scheduling of drivers – shift management plans
• Monitoring of driver hours to comply with bargaining council
• Payment of drivers in accordance with bargaining council and non-load based

remuneration

• Company management of fatigue
• Company induction and orientation of drivers
• Lack of safety culture in companies - Leadership and vision of safety from the directors
• Lack of trip route assessment culture – this is critical in knowing the route environment
• n every trip
• Vehicle inspection check list in accordance with Eskom Vehicle Policy
• Driver recruitment – process, check, black-listed drivers, medicals, inductions

23

General Incident Findings

24

Lessons learnt

• Vehicle visibility and markings is critical especially for night time or poor visibility conditions
• Comply with all road traffic rules
• Comply with life-saving rules…DO NOT SPEED (MAX IS 80km/h)
• Overtaking is a high risk activity
• Adapt your driving and speed to the prevailing conditions. Defensive driving techniques are

lacking or not practiced. Retraining is required.

• Poor behaviour by other drivers / companies is no reason / excuse to display the same

poor behaviour

• Don’t work longer than the maximum working hours allowed for as per bargaining council

resolutions

• Get rest in line with the minimum rest periods normally every 2-3 hours
• Don’t accept load based incentives. Report this to Eskom directly
• Update your transporter safety pack

25

Roshcon BMS commitment

• Deal contractually with safety non-compliance
• Increase monitoring and safety resources
• More efficient investigation turn around times including suspensions
• Immediate transporter safety pack compliance audit includes checking
• f vehicle markings and visibility indicators

26

Eskom Commitment

• Ensure that operational rules and practices support good safety

practices

• Promote innovative and new ideas towards increased safety practice.

All new ideas are welcome for further investigation and feasibility

• Provide the support needed by Roshcon BMS (Coal Logistics) to carry
• ut its mandate towards safety and environmental management
• Work in collaboration with the road authorities and traffic departments

to counter the aspects of poor public road behaviour and road conditions

• Zero tolerance towards chasing production over safety and the

environment

• Contractual enforcement to safety and environmental transgressions

27

Transporters

• Ensure that organizational rules and practices support good safety practices
• Ensure drivers stay within the maximum working hour requirements and that they

comply with the minimum rest period requirements – The onus is on you as the employer – “You may not require or permit ….”

• Zero tolerance to non-compliance of any nature – you need to consistently take

action against any non compliance

• Report all incidents immediately and to authorized persons
• Communicate the information shared with you at the Transporters Meeting with you

drivers / staff and information sharing reports

• When communicating to your staff, ensure that it is in a common language

Implement vehicle markings and visibility enhancements with immediate effect. Last reminded in April 2013

• Invest in your assets (truck and driver) and install drive-cams
• Submit all requirements timeously for transporter safety pack

28

Drivers

• Absolutely and consistently obey every single road traffic rule
• Comply with life saving rules all the time – it is for your benefit and FAMILY
• Stay within the speed limit and reduce speed when conditions like rain, mist or

darkness necessitate it - your speed need to be such that you can come to a dead stop within the distance of your visibility

• Ensure you are well rested and take regular breaks
• Practice defensive driving techniques
• Observe the behaviour of other road users. We need to drive for others
• Anticipate how other road users may behave and be ready to respond to it

correctly

• What can go wrong and be ready to respond to it correctly
• Do drivers have any further input into ways of improving the prevailing situation.

Also feel free to indicate the positive practices
