The ‘S’ in HSE Number of days lost 4,500,000 to workplace injury: Cost to economy: £5.3 billion Statistics 2015 – 2016 HSE.gov.uk

Putting the ‘H’ in HSE 526,000 Reported work related stress cases 16/17? 12,000,000 Number of days lost to stress? £7 Billion + Cost to the economy? Work pressures / What the top two causes of reported stress? Management support

Lifting Operations www.matsgroup.info

Derrick Introduction • Portable lifting equipment (fixed to structure) • Specific methodology required • Relatively compact structure • Temporary in nature • Multi fitments and designs • Climbing competence key • Structural knowledge key • Experience at ever level is key www.matsgroup.info

Gap Analysis What makes using a Derrick a unique lifting operation: - No common process of controls in place for lifting - The complexity of the lift and control required differed across the industry with no standards or guidance to support - No designated or recognised training courses for the specific use of Derricks - No single specific standard to control the manufacture of equipment - No common way to quantify skills/experience of using the equipment or standard to refer to making supplier approval difficult. www.matsgroup.info

Setting Standards The Mast and Towers Safety Group recognised the lack of industry guidance for this equipment. In response the following actions were taken: • Working practices reviewed via specialist suppliers who use Derricks • Gap analysis of working practices compiled • Working group of industry experts assembled (manufacturers & deployment specialists) to assess the gaps and look at a control framework • Framework in the form of industry guidance implemented. www.matsgroup.info

Setting Standards Planning and Lifting • Complex lifting operations requiring lifting plan and competence throughout Planning and • Structural review required of the structure before works and with equipment in place to assess stress loadings Lifting Competence • Competence chart for training and training needs throughout all roles assessed and developed Competence • Experience requirements defined through equipment usage and deployment Manufacture and Maintenance Manufacture • Equipment designed and manufactured by competent and organisations to BS/EN standards (fabrication) Maintenance • Maintenance regime required including thorough examination • Information to be provided with equipment for use, limitations and versatility www.matsgroup.info

Competence Qualifications Training Experience Planning Role Derrick Usage Planning Role • Structural competence The guidance sets out learning • 2 years telco experience hours for using Derricks. It also • BS7121 level training for • 2 years in planning lifting states the training criteria so a planning operations role bespoke course can be • Training in LOLER • 2 years in PM/deployment sourced. specific to planning role role • 8hrs classroom fixed Supervision Role Supervision Role Derrick • CITB training in lifting • 3 years telco experience • 8 hrs classroom floating • Standard industry rigging • 2 years experience Derrick qualifications supervising and working • 8hrs practical fixed Derrick @ height • Training in LOLER specific • 8 hrs practical floating to supervision • 2 years experience in Derrick actively using Derricks • Slinger/signals/winch www.matsgroup.info
