Near-Miss - Site Crash
19th March 2009
Please see below link to self explanatory ExxonMobil Safety Alert that relates to one of our own sign maintenance teams.
Lea Handley and Phil Morris' use of defensive parking, in line with the guidelines laid out in our JSA 002 - "Site Set-Up", meant that whilst our van sustained impact damage from a car that skidded on the icy forecourt, the sliding vehicle was buffered away from the working area and nobody was hurt.
As indicated in the safety alert, a last minute risk assessment had been carried out when the weather conditions changed and it began to snow, but this incident occurred whilst the team were packing up their equipment.
This is an excellent example where following the JSA genuinely averted what could have been a much more serious incident.
