NQLD Technical/Dinner Meeting

NQLD Technical/Dinner Meeting

Technical Presentation: Gregory Glennon, Eastern Region Operations Manager for Otraco International, reporting on the new standard GN31 Tyre, Wheel and Rim Management, recently released by the DNRME.

Bio: Gregory Glennon… Greg is the Eastern Region Operations Manager for Otraco International, part of the Downer group of companies, specifically part of the new Mining, Engineering and Industrial division. He has spent most of his working life in maintenance related supply and management roles starting in maintenance welding, then tyre protection and for the last 8 years in tyre and rim management. Greg is married with three children and two grandchildren.

Abstract: Tyres are pressure vessels, potentially containing several hundred tonnes of force, and they are continuously exposed to operational damage. The risk of a fatality during a tyre maintenance activity on an Australian mine or quarry site is in the order of ten times higher than that for a non-tyre related vehicle maintenance event. The Guidance note supplied by the Minerals Mines and Quarries Inspectorate of the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy states:

It's designed to assist in identifying hazards associated with tyres, wheels and rims and effective controls to minimise the risk of injury and death from uncontrolled movements and pressure releases events. These controls should then be incorporated into the site's Safety and Health Management System (SHMS).

Otraco has performed an extensive review of tyre maintenance related fatalities and life-threatening injuries in the mining industry worldwide, their causes and the controls that need to be implemented to eliminate them. The review was used as the foundation for the Otraco Critical Control Program that is an integral part of their Risk Management process operated throughout Australia and at overseas operations. Greg will discuss what has been learned, particularly that there is no “silver bullet’ for managing critical risks, they require total integration of safety, quality and operational roles, empowering workers to be part of the solution. Through ‘ground up’ solutions development, supported, promoted and made visible by all levels of management, controls that are seen as pragmatic and are applied every day.
