Brydie parked in front of the CHD warehouse roller door, parallel to some inward goods pallets on the passengers side of the van. |
Carpark was quite full with stock from the warehouse which greatly reduced the parking area available for our vehicles when collecting deliveries. The pallet was low with only the mirror laying flat on it which made less obvious/impossible to see from the drivers seat. The new HiAce vans have a bonnet on them which reduces vison immediately in front, when compared to previous models where the driver sat over the engine and the van had a flatter front. This blind spot is increased for “vertically challenged” drivers. Pallet was in position prior to Brydie parking there. |
While not ideal, placing pallets in the carpark is necessary for conducting work at CHD due to the amount of stock and accessibility for picking orders. Drivers must be aware of their surroundings when re-entering vehicles after stopping. A quick look down in the blind spots before entering van would have likely prevented this incident. Dean will ask Frosty to remind all drivers, at next meeting, to check surrounding when re-entering vehicles after deliveries/pick-ups. |

At 7.15AM, the NZ Courier van driver opened the roller door approx 1.8mtrs high and not high enough for the parked ute to reverse without hitting the door. |

This is just an elaboration on a previous report about a worker using the bolt gun unsafely. I failed to mention that he actually fired the bolt out of the bolt gun, so it was quite serious |
As it was said in the report the worker was in no condition to be using the bolt gun due to fatigue and also the bolt gun needed cleaning and oiling |
as in the original report the corrective actions that were stated still stand but we also need to emphasise the importance of reporting to your manager when fatigued. we have read and reviewed the fatigue management policy |

I was cutting the netting of a silage bale and was supporting myself off the bale with my arm in the path of the knife and as I got to the end of the bale because of the pressure I was applying to cut the bale it fired my arm toward the arm that was supporting my weight and I stabed my arm just below the rist. |
It was rainy and Thankful had lots of feeding out to do so he would have felt a bit ruhsed |
Thankful needs to be more careful when using his knife to open bales and needs to give himself more time to complete the task so that he can complete it safely |

What did happen – Heavy breaking caused 8 lgths of Typhoon spouting to slide forward from the roof rack leaving scuff marks on the bonnet. No other vehicles impacted and no injury’s. |
Spouting being a light flexible product means tie downs are not able to be super tight leading to the product moving inside it’s plastic packaging. |
The load needs to be checked often and 100mm pvc sat inside the spouting cavity helps tighten the load. |

one of the workers was using the bolt gun to put down some calves and when they when to reload it the end with bolt in came undone but instead of putting the bolt end back together first they they put a full activator in at the loading end and without thinking about potential consequences and fired it |
The worker was tired and definitely fatigued, also the bolt gun needed cleaning and oiling so that the bolt end stays done up when undoing the loading end to load with an activator |
The worker was fatigued and should have said so to the manager and been given a different task. the worker will not be using the bolt gun for the remainder of this season and the bolt gun will be cleaned and oiled regularly |

Thankful standfast was pulling apart a segment of pipes and valves on the calf trailer and he broke a valve handle in his hand when trying separate a coupling attachment which then punctured his hand quite badly and he had to go in to the Moana health clinic to get some stitches put in his hand. |
Thankful couldn’t find the second pair of multi grips and felt like he just needed to knuckle down get the calf milk trailer fixed because it was leaking milk everywhere, but the plastic handle couldn’t handle the strain that was being put on it and gave way creating a sharp edge which cut into Thankfuls hand, also the weather was fair and Thankful had just taken his day off |
Thankful should have put a bit more time and effort into contacting the manager and not been so quike to try and fix the leaking valve. At our next tool box meeting we will talk about putting tools in their appropriate places after use so that they can easily be found and used |

During the Sale, a customer Placed a Trolley from Inwards behind me, I didn’t know it was there and stepped back. When I stepped back I hit my ankle bone on the trolley and fell backwards, luckily ending up sitting on the wooden deck of the Trolley. |
The sale was a very busy day with a lot of people in the showroom, we had pallets on the floor with gear to sell and as it was sold someone with a sack barrow or trolley moved the gear out. In this instance they had stopped and Shannon was obviously not away because she was busy so stepped back unknowingly and hurt her leg. |

Finished work heading to green hut. Turned my head just before the steps and hit my knee on the corner of the steps. |
Patient was interviewed 8:30am 28/10/2024 about the incident and disclosed that he was in a hurry, walking quickly, looking behind as he approached the stairwell and that is was dark.He did not realise he had not approached the stairs straight on but at an approx. 45 degree angle. His intention was to go up onto the small platform on one step. Unfortunately, although his leading foot made it up to the top as he intended his trailing leg knee cap caught the corner of a steel plate making up the platform kick rail and top of the stair stringer. |
He suffered a rather nasty bruise on his left knee cap which had completely healed at the time of the interview.No time off work was required. The injury occurred owing to the strange angle he had mistakenly approached the stairwell intending to get up to the top in one step. |

Loading delivery vehicle with hot water cylinders and stepped on edge of concrete in carpark which resulted in twisting my ankle |
The ute was parked towards the road where the car park is boarded with a approx 100mm high curbing between the car park and the Road. The day was clear, fine weather etc. The Cylinder was already on the ute, helped on by another staff member. Quinten was securing the load and placed part of his foot on the curbing resulting in twisting. High safety boots may have contributed to where the ankle was affected. Quinten new instantly that he may have done some damage, carried on and delivered before suggesting it may need checked out as the pain did not subside. A & E was decided so that it would be looked at in reasonable time. |
Quinten was assessed and thankfully there was no fracture. The lower leg has some ligament damage that will repair over time. They suggested time off to rest it but Quinten declined and returned to work the following day, he will self monitor and is currently not ino much discomfort and is able to carry on without pain killers etc. He will avoid heavy lifts without help from others. Normally the ute would be loaded closer to our dispatch area of the building. The carpark was very congested at this time of the morning. Where we would normally load there is no curb etc. We will discuss surroundings and taking time to check for potential hazards in our next team meeting tool box talk. |

An operator maneuvering a forklift in very close quarters to the discharge end of an active dryer accidently knocked and broke off a half inch condensate line adjacent to the rotary union of the TST 60B disk dryer. The rotary union and approximately 16 inches of pipe blew off with a loud bang and instantaneous massive release of steam at 350Kpa discharging out of the broken end of the pipe from the the dryer 18 inches away from the operator seated on the forklift. Fortunately the operator who was now also enveloped in a thick white cloud of steam vapour giving him only two feet of visibility remained calm realising what what had happened and more importantly that he was not in any way harmed at this point. He froze in place not moving to take stock of the situation. He noted that the white thick cloud of condensated steam vapour surrounding him, whilst blinding and frightening was actually harmless; the deafening roar of the released steam at 350kpa was, so long as it was not sustained was also harmless, however the operator was very well aware that the fascinating clear stream of invisible true steam blasting across before him 18 inches away (it’s direction and boundaries made clear and definite by the opaque water vapour) was extremely injurious and possibly lethal. The operator slid sideways on the seat his left calmly and carefully keeping as far away from the stream of steam as possible, got off the forklift and moved away from the danger zone of releasing steam. |
Infrastructure: |
Discussions with the General Manager, Operator concerned, Plant 2 Operator, and Chief engineer were held to find a means of eliminating the possibility of this recurring. A simple cheap way put forward to eliminate the hazard of having to manoevour a forklift in close proximity to pressurized steam pipes and fittings was to reverse the direction of the auger in storage. This requires that the augur, once attached to the forklift , would have to be end for ended. Trials were carried out to see if this could be done inside but this proved very difficult and hazardous. Nevertheless this can be done quite easily in a couple of minutes by reversing out backwards via the load out roller door, turning around outside, and reversing back in. Measurements taken showed the closest any part of the forklift approached to any pipes or fittings at the end of either dryer was 3.0m or more. This simple procedure carried out first thing prior to placement of the container and at the finish after loading for will add 8 minutes to the bulk loading procedure. This operator concerned believes this a small price to pay to eliminate the hazard of manoeuvring a forklift mm away from pressurized pipes; a hazard that has been with us a long time. |

The south entrance gate to the BPW43 rendering site was was found dislodged off its the rails lying on the ground at a strange angle the morning of the 17/07/2024 . Please see pics. It would weigh somewhere between 200 to 300kgs. About 300mm of weak weld had been pulled apart at the east end of the gate by the impact. Some minor damage was sustained to the notched rail at the west end. Fortunately the damage was not serious and appeared readily repairable. A vehicle was damaged and a driver could have been hurt. |

I was parked in my truck on the side of the road before going to call on a customer. The Wasteco truck Pulled in towards the front right of my vehicle to position his rubbish bin side lifter. He was too close and softly connected to the RH bumper join. He continued to empty the bin and put it down, then drove off pulling my bumper half off as he drove away, blissfully unaware that he had done it. Because I am an athlete I managed to exit my vehicle and sprint down the footpath to wave him down and break to him the bad news. |

I (Shadrach) was driving into Greymouth (in the car with me was Ruth C and Mary T) An oncoming vehicle was on the wrong side of the road. I had to pull off road and take evasive action. The vehicle veered back onto the right side of the road about 30m away, driver was distracted with phone. |
I was (Ready) in the Plumbing van was driving from GM towards GV… with his oldest son. Had been feeling overwhelmed, struggling to keeping up with work and family issues over the last few months… my son was listening to an audio story… It was an cloudy/sunny morning I looked ahead on the straight road just before passing the Deep Creek Road turn off decided to give myself the excuse to use the phone briefly to catch up on some of my 300 unread emails… the phone was in the windscreen holder but turned it Landscape to read the text… While focusing on the phone screen, van had drifted across the center line, looked past the phone to see a white car coming the other way when it was about 40m away and quickly corrected the van path back to the correct side of the road. This incident should not have happened, the cost off saving a few minutes, at the price of causing a crash or loss of life! |
Driving during the last 6mths, while serving a 10mth sentence, has been a big challenge to say the least… balancing work and family; trying to manage plumbing work needs and pressures, often problem-solving issues remotely… Also keeping family and wife emotions in balance has also been a huge challenge; my wife homeschooling all the children at the start of this year with me away all the time and not being able to spend nights or most weekends with them… This has taken its toll on the whole family and very behind on plumbing work.

Driving the tripper with a load of mulch to a customer in Dunolle. Had 5 passengers… young men to be dropped off at a course in Greymouth. A few km before Nghere I began to hear and feel a regular clunking noise coming from the general vicinity of the right front wheel . It worsened considerably with braking, even very gentle braking. To my shame I pushed on to Greymouth not wanting to be late getting the young to the course driving very steadily and using as little breaking as I could. However the clunking noise and vibrations steadily worsened and I stopped at Dobson to check out the right front wheel. I pushed the top of the wheel as hard as I could with my right foot but could not discern any movement or play in the wheel itself. I was vaguely suspicious this test might not be telling me much because of the weight that was on the vehicle. I looked underneath to check the steering linkages and suspension for signs of slop or play. I had just about given up but took one last hard look at the wheel nuts to check for what, to me, could be a likely cause of the clonking sounds (LOOSE WHEEL NUTS) and found to my horror that I was able to rotate two of the spring washers of the wheel nuts with my fingers despite looking secure and tight at a glance. Mystery solved. The Tripper had a socket set and we set too tightening all the nuts of the right front wheel ( as we tightened the two most loose nuts 3 other nuts became loose and required tightening) After checking all the nuts on the other wheels we found 4 others that did not seem to be very secure. We continued to Greymouth with no more noise or clunking issues. |
Procedures for fitting wheels had been followed but the unusual nuance that showed up was that the wheel hub was a tight fit over the hub. This allowed the rim to bind on the hub and even when wheel nuts were torqued up they were still actually not seated fully. |
CFE has discussed the issue in a meeting and have chosen to take the vehicles for a drive down the airstrip and back and re torque wheel nuts to ensure proper seating has occurred |

Dean was lifting a shower pallet down from racking approx. 2.2mtrs high. Aisle space was tight. When clear of racking and starting to lower forks, the load/pallet shifted due to loose plastic wrap getting caught on racking/pallet behind pallet where it could not be seen. Pallet design does not include a bottom deck which helps prevent tipping on forks. Pallet size is approximately 2.4mtrs x 1mtr. Pallet was also unbalanced as tray was loaded to one side although this was not visible initially. Load shifting on the pallet caused the pallet to tip sideways on the forks which in turn cause the load (crest shower x1) to slip off the pallet from approx. 1.5 mtrs high. Future prevention: |

Hayden was putting pallet back in corner of store. I was going to collect a hot water cylinder beyond where he was placing the pallet. I was walking up behind, however to the side of the forklift when Hayden started to reverse. I hadn’t made him aware I was there, and I caught him by surprise. |
We have a a busy warehouse with constraints around space, we are often juggling stock to get to other stock. The cylinders are housed down the bottom left corner of the warehouse. We have high racks all around and from time to time the forklift will operate in this space. The forklift driver(Hayden) on this occasion reversed away from the pallet he has just placed down. Stefan was heading for the cylinders and although on a path that would avoid being hit by the forklift, it gave both Stefan and Hayden enough of a fright to discuss this as a near miss incident. |
This may have be a fantastic example where the illuminated working zone around the forklift would work well, that said – |

Traveling from Christchurch (to Timaru) I had a 2000 litre submersible tank stropped to the trailer. One of the strops broke and the tank flew off the trailer and onto the road. The traffic was rather heavy at the time and thankfully everyone managed to avoid hitting it or any other vehicle. The driver following behind and another that was traveling north stopped and helped load the tank back onto the trailer. I restropped it and continued onto Timaru. |
The main contributing factor was the tie down strap snapped. The strap had no wear or tear and wasn’t rubbing on anything sharp where it snapped. strap snapped where the strap was going over the top of the tank. The highway was reasonable busy and very lucky not to cause futher accident with other travelers. |
We have agreed now to apply an extra strap as a back up for if this is to ever happen again. all straps have been inspected in all delivery utes and found 1 frayed which has been thrown out. |

Unloading Diesel Heater at branch after refueling at petrol station. I had a plastic pallet on the forklift level with the ute deck. (heater and Pallet together is too high for the ute, so wouldn’t fit) Heater slipped as I was moving it from the deck to the pallet. I partially stabilised it as it fell to the ground and strained my lower back. |
This was an avoidable incident. Caused by a lack of safe process in place. The Heater was being transferred on a ute to the service station, to be filled up at the pump with diesel. This has been done before using two people to lift it from the ute deck to the ground. On this occasion Quintin did not ask for help and attempted to use the forklift to lift the heater from the ute. Because there is a tray for transporting pipe above the ute, was unable to strap the heater to a pallet for safe loading and unloading, instead trying to push the heater onto the pallet on the forks at deck level.(unstrapped) |
Two x 20 litre containers and funnel have now been purchased. These will be filled at the service station and the heater will be filled by these. |

The young man selected to hot hose the section of pipe closest to the discharge point was fully instructed as to the potential force of the discharge, to be prepared to take evasive action if required, to remain behind the direction of the discharge, and as far away as possible commensurate with hosing the tallow pipe. Unfortunately at the time of discharge the sausage of solid tallow filled the six inch pipe and liquid began to come out the input end. This forewarned the young man and he quickly moved westwards along the walkway as the explosive phase of discharge began erupting upwards to the roof two meters up spraying condensate and molten tallow onto the roof and wall creating the usual mess. Other than a fright he was alright. (nothing will prepare anyone for the first bang of a tallow line no matter how much prewarning you get.) |
1) Time pressure. The procedure of blowing out tallow lines is dependent on warming the entire section pipe which is most successful done in the hottest part of the day. Especially the sections outside of the buildings. A lot of time that morning was spent arranging to get hot water to work with. The following day rain was forecast. Two attempts on the outside lines had already failed due to lack of labor, general lack of interest, hot water to cold, and cool weather. Evidently someone had filled the hot water tank with cold water a few days back and the water was still too cold even after two days of running the plant. |
1) Use an alternative method using sparging steam on one section of line is feasible and effective. This will lesson the overall hazards. |

The sample stands provided have a back on them, they are quite awkward to lift so the samples dont fall off and would require two hands to stop the samples falling. The backs are attached but not well. I dont believe Larissa was at any way at fault, however sensible footwear may have lessened the bruising? |

A senior worker was seen exposing himself to a fall of 3.2 meters by climbing over and around the northwest corner of recently erected safety railing to access a blocked shredder. The shredder was isolated and locked out at the circuit breaker, a method of lockout only permitted to be done by an electrician. The lockout was verified by the Health and Safety representative (another person as required) after he had accessed the hopper. A double lockout is required for high hazard machinery which was readily achievable as the main power lead has a lockable socket. This was not carried out. Documentation for high hazard a lockout was only done days after the event. He was advised of a more appropriate and safer means to access and clear the hopper which he willingly complied with. A brief investigation and discussion of this event at a recent toolbox meeting disclosed a lot of contributing factors; to many detail at this stage. |
The usual; work pressure combined with unexpected delays causing frustration leading to cutting corners regarding safety. Key Factors : |
See above. The incident was discussed at the Toolbox meeting on on the 15/04/2024.

A senior, experienced and capable forklift driver was backing the hired electric forklift slowly but very closely past a forklift attachment that allows offal bins to be rotated and tipped upside down to empty. Unfortunately he failed to note a horizontal hook canter levered out slightly beyond the general line of the attachment he was moving close to. I believe he may have turned a little prematurely around the unit as the horizontal hook came about 50-100mm inside the roll cage of his forklift embedding itself into the electronic console of the forklift he was driving. Despite what appears to be a serious puncture the forklift is still operable. Please see pictures. |

A bit of sloppy forklift driving in a relatively restricted and cramped environment by an experienced driver. The forklift reversed and gently nudged a small, mobile but very unstable auger hopper. The auger motor tipped downwards onto the motor in an instant. The round section of the gearbox landed on the auger hopper’s electric cord severing it cleanly as if it had been cut with a knife. Please see pictures. |

Severed cord and plug given to electrician. Electrician advised not to repair it until some engineering work is done to rectify the instability issue of the auger hopper.(this item of plant has been decommissioned) Gearbox may be able to be mounted at base of hopper?

A bin of offal put into the PB3 Bin tipper was accidentally dropped as the operator was backing out. |
A young recently inducted operator showing some initiative began lifting the bins up to the tippers. He had not carried out this operation on this particular tipper and was unaware how tricky getting out could be due to a lifting action of the forklift tynes on the bin caused by a slight downhill slope of the concrete surface approaching the tipper. Experienced operators compensate for this by a very slight incremental lowering of the tynes as the forklift pulls back after placing a full bin in the tipper frame. This misshape does occur on very odd occasions with experience operators on the other tippers ; usually the cause is the operator being in too big a hurry. |

A worker was attempting to rotate a bale of silage wrap on a trailer strapped to a pallet. He was trying to turn it 90 degrees so the pallet was on the bottom. He pulled as hard as he could on the pallet . Unfortunately the straps tying the bale to the pallet broke . He fell over backwards off the trailer on to one leg and hand. (the other foot remained jammed between the side of the trailer and the pallet ). Fortunately his jammed foot pulled out of the elastic safety boot he was wearing and he was able to regain his balance. His hand suffered a minor sprain. |
A difficult one to access. A one off operation not likely to be repeated. The operator is a capable quick active thinking person that likes to get things done efficiently and very rarely makes a mistake of this nature. He simply had not considered that the straps could break which very quickly lead to the sticky predicament he found himself in. It appears his characteristic speed and agility got him out of it relatively unscathed on this occasion. He emphasized how fortunate he was that his jammed foot had slipped out of the gator safety footwear he was wearing. Perhaps, if he had done a very brief mental take five, before he had carried out this procedure he may have considered that the strapping could break and what could happen if it did? |
Hopefully this experience will have the operator giving a bit of thought and observation as to what could go wrong before doing something of this nature. |

Jedidiah and Cornelius planned and carried out a staple/brad gun battle in the woodwork shed for about 6 minutes. Pneumatic guns were taken from the zipperlock which was left unlocked and they went to the woodwork shed and plugged in at either end of shed and fired at each other using up probably a number of cards of Staples or Brads |
Jed and Cornelius were not supervised appropriately at this time and didn’t have the maturity to self govern |

The offal input operator started the boiler. He was told that it would be a “big day” of offal so he had decided to start early putting offal into the main hopper. He needed steam to heat the hydrolyser as part of the process so he had decided to start the boiler. I found the boiler running and asked him who started it. He told him that he had started it himself. I asked him what training he had had. He said a plant operator had showed him how to switch it on and off and open the main stop valve; also how to check the main pressure gauge. |

I went down to the swimming pool to check to see if the hole in the wall had been fixed (at this point it hadn’t). When I got to the swimming pool, the door was unlocked and 4 children were swimming in the small swimming pool. There was no parental supervision. I asked the oldest girl (in the swimming pool if she was supervising the children, and she said yes. I asked her age and she said 13. I left the swimming pool and went back to the office and asked Rebecca if she was aware of children being at the swimming pool. She said, there was a booking at 11:30 am, however, the keys hadn’t been collected from the office. She then went to the swimming pool, and on her return informed me, that the grandmother of the children in the pool had given them a key. Rebecca then rang the mother of the children, who said she would now go down to the swimming pool to supervise the children. |

98% Sulphuric Acid pumping into a pod which was overflowing onto the concrete and down a drain. |
Pulse rate too high for pump transferring into storage tank. Consumption of flocculent .less than expected. Insufficient monitoring, no engineered controls to detect when tank was full and cut off air supply ti pump. |
The spill was not Sulfuric acid but a chemical flocculent with a much lower hazard rating. The misunderstanding as to the ID of the split substance was due to false and misleading labeling on second hand sulphuric acid containers used to store the flocculent. The SSC removed the wrong labels and replaced them correct ones. The drain outfall (where the spill occurred) flowed back into the wastewater storage ponds, so the spill was totally contained and would have had no environmental impact. |

Air filter on air compressor was on fire. |
Alpine health has a burst air tank. This causes the compressor to run constantly over-working the compressor. This causes it to over heat and combined with a dirty air filter caught fire. |

An external Contractor from Spirax Sarco Ltd was carrying out routine monitoring and water testing on the number 2 boiler water softener system. Evidently, although not strictly necessary, access to two small valves required to take water samples can be facilitated by using a small step-ladder platform. The use of this ladder had become common. The day of the incident the plastic rail of the leaning rail of the ladder was broken on one side. Unfortunately Dean failed to notice this and when he leaned on the rail the rail gave way and he fell forward onto the ground from a height of 875mm. |
A brief investigation would trace the primary root cause of this accident to a failure on the part of of VPL staff to report or do anything about and unsafe condition. A secondary cause could be the absence of regular and detailed Site Inspections at VPL. |
1)Tag out and removal of the stepladder from service. |

I suffered the back injury while carrying a large and quite heavy box of Allproof merchandise to give to our customers before golf last Friday. I stumbled and reached out to catch the box and felt a twinge in my lower back. It felt like a short spasm and carried on for a few minutes. I got some vultaren gel and rubber on my back and all seemed ok. Saturday I went to golf and once again no pain and everything felt pretty much normal. Sunday woke up and felt spasm and a constant discomfort. Rested for the day but still had the intense pain and spasm. I managed to sleep ok and woke this morning to a similar sensation where I then called my doctor and got seen as a walk in I am on a host of pain killers and feels ok at the moment. My biggest issue is sitting and the pain when getting up. The doctor advised me most people will take 2 to 7 days. If all goes well with the physio tomorrow I am hoping to be back on Thursday. |
Craig needed to be sure of his footing and limitations when trying to lift the box. |

An experienced and trained Operator was seen walking quickly across the offal yard in a south north direction with a 20L bucket, approximately 1/3 full, of thick viscous translucent liquid which looked like 48% caustic solution with no eye protection, gloves or apron. The route he took involved stepping over a nib wall and going down a flight of steel stairs. The Site Safety coordinator made inquiries asking if he had been in actual fact been carting this hazardous chemical with inadequate PPE but was unable to get a reply to this question. The bucket had been emptied and was located near to the CIP caustic tank adjacent to the separator room. Unfortunately this is not the first time this operator has been seen transporting Class 6.0 & 8.0 chemicals in this non compliant and hazardous manner. |
Stress,anxiety and time pressure. A further factor discussed was that the necessary and mandated PPE was often not readily available, and what was, was often generally in poor condition (i.e. scratched and dirty face-masks). |

Driving through the meal plant compost area and saw a group of kids playing in the wood shaving and hiding down in them, aged between 6-10 year olds. |
Evidently the back gate had been left open and the children could not resist the temptation to go and play in the wood shavings . Fortunately the factory was not running that day and the huff loader was not operating . The General Manager was informed of the presence of the children on site and went down to investigate but the children had left by this time. |
The issue was discussed at the next VPL Toolbox meeting . It was concluded that the back gate being left open was a major contributing factor. This gate has been found open and subsequently closed a number of times by the Site Safety Coordinator. It was agreed that going forward the gate would be padlocked and those needing to use this entrance way will have to come in one of the other two entrances with automatic gates and ask for the key. The compost site can be readily accessed with very little time extra and travel via the other two entrance ways with automatic gates. The Site Safety Coordinator exhorted the fathers present that they teach and inform their children that all the area within the boundary fence enclosing the Composting site and Value Proteins factory is out of bounds for children. The VPL staff were grateful that this non compliance was reported promptly so follow up action could be taken. |

Using the Walk behind (forklift), Oliver grabbed down three empty pallets from upstairs. As they reached ground level he motored the machine ford, with his body behind the machine. Due to the speed Oliver lost control of it’s direction and anticipated impact with the instore display stand (Starret) so he took his finger off the trigger. The momentum it accumulated ultimately was enough to cause direct contact, and have a direct hit on the “Starretts” stands front left leg. Thankfully, the impact wasn’t enough to fully take out the structure, leaving it on a slant. It is now being held up with zip-ties against the wall sitting behind it. |

I borrowed a Tractor and Level bar from Gloriavale Dairy. I used it to level some ground at the base of the hill successfully. Then went up on top of the hill and continue to level the ground. I had not got out and checked the area up there for hazards but was looking behind the tractor at the implement. The front-end-loader bucket was blocking the view in front, and I did not see the stay wire on the power pole. When I struck the stay wire with the tractor bucket it pulled the concrete power pole down onto the tractor cab. Fortunately, the high voltage lines pung away from the tractor, and no-one was hurt. I contacted Joshua (etc) using the tractor radio. I remained in the tractor cab until the Electronet had checked and confirmed it was safe to leave the tractor. |

Mary Benjamin opened the ladies bedding container to fetch curtains. Upon opening she found the whole interior was blackened and there was an overwhelming burnt electrical/plastic smell. She did not know what was the cause but thinking it was electrical and not knowing where the power originated ran and found Peter R to isolate the power. Peter unplugged the power to container. Open investigation it was found that the dehumidifier has completely melted and burnt into a small blackened mess. The water container that is located on the top of the dehumidifier was approximately 800mm away and completely unharmed. On initial inspection. The cardboard boxes with curtains in them that where nearby had also been badly burnt. Plastic bins on the sides above that where full of sheets were also badly burnt. The entire container appeared to have been full of smoke as there is a coating of an ash on every thing. It is assumed at this point that the fire was starved of oxygen and consequently the whole container was not destroyed. Everything in the container requires wanting and airing out. The smell and shoot is very extensive. The 2nd hand dehumidifier had only been put in 3 days prior to this discovery by a teenage boy as a replacement for the previous dehumidifier that had stopped working. |
Dehumidifier was not properly tested before putting into the container |
We checked circuit breakers and the were functioning correctly. A reminder to ensure appliances are tested and tagged before putting to work. |

A new worker recently inducted( 02.03.2030) collapsed whilst pumping blood in the offal yard. Another operator operating a Huff loader saw him saw him standing by a pod but moments later noted he was lying on the ground in front of the pod. At first he presumed he was checking on something under the pod and continued observing him. How ever after 20 seconds of no movement he realized that something was wrong and signaled to Titus who was close by. Titus immediately investigated the situation. The worker was woken up by tapping on the shoulder.Titus said he appeared to to be coherent and able to answer his questions about what had happened. Evidently he could remember feeling sick and dizzy just before before passing out.The Office was called and soon after Howard, Salem, Aaron and Serenity arrived on site to assist. The worker was explaining what had happened suggesting a possible cause relating to a past injury but then appeared to have increasing difficulty remaining coherent. He became dizzy again and unable to stand. He was assisted to remain standing whilst his gumboots and leggings were removed. He was then lifted into a vehicle and taken off site to his bedroom where he could rest and remain under close observation. |
An informal interview by the Site Safety Coordinator with the operator revealed that: 1) this happened very rarely but had happened at least once before. 2) Factors which bring on this fainting spell were not known to the new worker as it is a rare occurrence. 3)The new worker had been working in the Office for a few months as he himself and others were aware the rigor of years of farm work had taken a toll on his General health.4) He had been inducted on the basis that his duties would primarily be routine monitoring and check work on the boiler not demanding any strenuous physical labor.5) He ended up pumping blood pods which involves work that involved lifting a 1.2 metre four inch pipe attached to a 4 inch suction hose, tipping and propping up bulk 1000kg blood pods, hosing them out and stacking them (with a forklift) tidily for collection for pick up by trucks working the blood loop. Work that was possibly more than he could handle given his recent sedentary office work and his natural propensity to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible heedless to what impact his exertions might be having to his physical well being.5) It was also divulged that a reasonably serious injury in his past had occurred that had not been carefully examined by a professional medical practitioner. |

True Joy fell off the back of a Ute as it was driving. She was not holding on and as the vehicle turned a corner the change of wind direction off balanced her and she fell directly of the back. Ute travelling approx 20km/hr. |
Riding on the back of the farm utility unsecured |
Purchasing a vehicle big enough to have all children in the family seated securely. Got the message out to all vehicle users that it is not ok to have people riding on the back of Utes or trailers. |

I was driving down Tuam st when i crossed over Barbadoes st it was a green light so I kept going when I was struck by a car that approached from my left who ran the red light |
Non at all. On investigation, our vehicle had the right of way (green light). It appears that the other vehicle went through the interesection on a red light. The driver of the other vehicle was an elderly lady. She was very shaken up. Thankfully, no hurt to humans on both sides. |
The box truck does not have an E-Roads camera in it. This is now going to get retro fitted. |

I was swapping the filters over so that the fuel oil would now be running through a clean filter. This is done reasonably often on average everyday. When I changed it over there was a very loud bang and quite large visible flames from under the boiler/burner, the boiler immediately alarmed on a Flame Failure and shut down . It gave me a real fright. I reported it to Gabriel at the time. After a cursory look at the boiler to see if there was any damage it was deemed safe to restart. |
Lack of reporting other incidences of this nature to management in times past. Ignorance of what exactly was causing this problem. |
1)After inspection and careful testing we discovered that an air pocket created by cleaning and swapping the filter was causing a brief cessation of fuel supply to the burner followed by a sudden increase in fuel supply mixed with oxygen igniting at once. The boiler auto settings were not adjusting fast enough to cope with this abrupt changes in fuel supply caused by a faulty procedure for changing the filters. Two modifications to the procedure of swapping the filters was found to eliminate this problem. Operators are now trained to bleed air out of filter cavity after cleaning and swap the filters over slowly allow time for any pressure variation between between the filters to equalize. This modified procedure appears to eliminate the blow back problem. |

An inexperienced forklift driver was attempting a relatively difficult maneuver with a forklift attempting to insert one tine of the forklift into a black plastic bin order to move it sideways in a very cramped situation at the entrance way to the building. Given the lack of room for the back end of the forklift to turn to facilitate the tine inserting into the tine pocket of the bin it was questionable this could even been done. The operator accidentally engaged the forward gear instead of the reverse gear causing the forklift to lurch forward and drive a tine into the bottom plate of the timber frame wall attached to the east jamb of the tube door jamb. |
Overconfident inexperienced driver without direct supervision as mandated by Safety rule documented in BPW43. Safety Unit Gen 1. This rule was reiterated specifically for this individual by the SO at the last tool box meeting. |
The young man was instructed to repair bins which indirectly entails using the forklift to cart damaged bins to the workshop. This forklift work was not supervised. |

Jim our Truck loaded pipe on the rack of the Canter delivery truck and left for a delivery. When he exited the premises at Treffers road he felt the load shift so he turned back into the yard to refix the tie downs. Jim re-tied the load down and went to leave the the premises again, this time the back rack gave way at the points where the racks fit into the deck. Both welds that connect the rack into the deck had sheared away from the racking (see attached photo). This caused the racking to give way and the pipe become unsecured. The pipe was contained by the front strap and the wooden framing around the pipe. |
This is a wear and tear issue. the welds failed due to continuous use. |
New bars and reinforced welding was used to repair the rack. |

Pilgrim Steadfast was working on some framing for a pump shed and was using Paslode Nail Gun. He was firing into some timber that was only about 45mm wide and he had his leg on the other side to hold the timber in place. When he fired nail it came out the other side of timber about 25mm and into his leg. |
Lack of training. Lack of communication with workshop manager. Pilgrim did not check in with Job before using the Wood Work Shed |
Bedrock people files indicates Pilgrim is untrained in the use of Nail guns. Pilgrim needs to be trained as he has had no formal training in the use of nail guns. |

Jason had been bottling some liquid into bottles with glass droppers for the lids. He had found some broken droppers and put them aside. I came to the bench later and saw a little scrubbing brush I needed. I reached in to get the brush and poked/cut my finger on one of the broken droppers. I did not see them as they were behind a 5 L bucket. |
Broken glass had not been disposed of fully. It was left to one side on the bench with the intention of showing the manager. |
Broken glass was left in a state that made it a hazard to anyone coming to work on the bench as glass is not easily visible especially when you are not looking for it. Corrective action: all broken glass must be contained immediately. Either in the rubbish bin or in a container with a lid if needed for later reference. |

I was driving an E-bike back along the road coming from the lodge. It came time to turn the corner but I was not concentrating on the road and missed the turn. (I was going at about 35 km/h). As soon as I saw that I was heading towards the side of the bridge I applied the braked and turned sharply to avoid driving the bike down the bank and into the river. This action flung me off the bike and onto a large rock and tipped the bike up onto my right thigh pinning me down on the rock. I pushed the bike back off me and got up to assess myself for any injury. Other than and bruised calf muscle, thigh and elbow on my right hand side and a few scrapes from a gorse plant on my left hand I found myself in good condition. I then drove over the bridge and onto the other side of the river and started to straighten out the damage to the bike. |

I was driving Pillar’s van on a stretch of road that was straight for about 500 meters, and I wanted to move something on the passenger seat beside me. So I took my eyes off the road for a few seconds and leaned over to shift it, meanwhile I let the vehicle drift over to the right. When I looked back I was heading for a fence post on the side of the road, I pulled back on the road but the post scaped the side of the van dinging it severely. |

Driving Hyundai Sonata DSY776 from GV to GM. Slightly after the Deep Creek Rd turn off the front left of the car dropped down, a loud grinding sound of metal on tarseal was heard. There was an immediate and complete loss of steering and braking. The car slid uncontrolled in a slightly curved line for approximately 100m, passing over and coming to a stop approximately 10m over the Curtis Creek bridge at a gravelled area. During the last 10m of travel I was able to coax the car toward the left slightly and came to rest with the car nosing slightly into the gravel area. |
Vehicle was still in service although at it’s last check it was noted one of the steering rod joints was worn and parts were being ordered. |

One child was seen activating the manual switch while another child was stood on the gate enjoying the ride as the gate was retracting opening up a very real possibility for his arm to be caught in the pincer action between the gate and the post on the east side. The last of the three , a young girl riding a small bike, almost rode into a vehicle approaching the entrance way which had to slow down and swerve gently to avoid a collision. This happened whilst an international SGS Auditor was present watching from the VPL Office. |
