Company fined $100,000 after a worker received lacerations and serious injuries to his arm. A worker bent down under the head of the conveyor, which had stopped to retrieve a parcel of meat which had fallen onto a steel rack. Suddenly the conveyor started and the worker’s right arm was dragged into a shear hazard at the head of the conveyor. At the time of the accident the conveyor had insufficient guarding to prevent persons gaining access to the shear hazard at the head of the conveyor. The maximum penalty which the company faces is $550,000. However, in the absence of prior convictions the company was entitled to leniency. The company was fined $100,000 under section 10(2) of OHS Act 2000. Under section 10(2) a person who has control of any plant or substance used by people at work must ensure that the plant or substance is safe and without risks to health when properly used. In this case it was possible to achieve greater effectiveness in the implementation of safe work practices which includes guarding and lockout devices >>Full Case

Hire Attitude - Train Skill
By: Roger M. Ingbretsen | 06/01/2010I have had the pleasure of hiring directly or indirectly thousands of people throughout my career. I have also experienced the distasteful process of having to fire individuals. I have never fired someone for lack of skills; it has always been based on behavioral problems. I did not fire them for a bad attitude, but rather for specific behavioral problems which were as a result of their attitude. Because of my experience I have developed eight rules for hiring from the outside and for promoting from within.
Gainsharing Best Practices - Recognition, Repect, and Building Esteem
