Callibration chock placement tool - Bluescope Steel

Best Solution to a Specific Workplace Health and Safety Issue

I'd like to nominate one of our Senior Process operators for developing a simple solution to a hazardous manual task. The task involved operators contorting thier bodies into an extremely difficult location to place calibration blocks into a steel strip surface conditioning mill. The task had been done this way for many years. The Senior process operator developed a prototype extension tool that would allow an operator to place the calibration blocks into the mill from outside the guarding and with minimal effort, once the prototype had been optimized using toilet rolls and broomsticks, an aluminium tool was manufactured and has been successfully in use ever since. Significant reductions in the risk operators are exposed was achieved with a very simple tool developed by the guys on the floor. A great example of what can be achieved when people challenge the way things have always been done in the past.
