MPA publishes new best-practice guide

摘要

THE Mineral Products Association (MPA) has published a new guide, Avoiding Contact with Moving Machinery and Isolation' to assist supervisors and managers on site. The MPA's Health & Safety Committee identified contact with moving machinery and isolation (including stored energy) as one of'The Fatal 6' high-consequence hazards that have been the main cause of fatalities over the last decade. By consolidating industry best practice and guidance, raising awareness using a variety of media including apps, developing useable tools for reducing risk and doing all these exceptionally well with an uncompromising approach, the Health & Safety Committee, supported by MPA's Board and Council, believes that the industry could potentially reduce up to 75% of its most serious health and safety incidents.
