Jack has been working in and managing projects since 1965 and has never had anyone seriously injured on his sites, ever.

 

He has carried out safety audits on lime and cement plants, mines, quarries, asphalt plants, concrete plants and a marine terminal.

 

He has worked with the UK H&S to help bring about the successful prosecution of a quarry operator.

 

When working for a UK government aid agency Jack took over a quarry where the manager had been killed in a very avoidable accident. Jack investigated the occurrence and introduced a whole series of changes.

 

He has worked as an expert witness in cases where he had to investigate in detail the causes of accidents.

How about trying to get your machine to run over you!

 

The man on the left is trying to start the machine by shorting out the solenoid. If the machine has been left in drive, then when the engine starts, the machine will run over him.

 

The machine had no brakes, lights, horn, seat belts, etc.

 

The machine was on hire to a major international quarrying company.

These busbars shown in these pages were completely exposed, live and carrying 440 volts.

 

Or how about a dodgy joint?

How about a bit of dangerous mining!

Seems a shame to waste money on guards!

Have you ever fancied a shocking experience!

The holes were probably 50 metres deep, with no supports, communications or lighting.

These two crushers were being operated in St Kitts (left) and Mexico. The unguarded plant below in in Tobago.

 

 

Why bother having the wheels on the ground!
