Supervisors Workshop

Project Susd

• Supervisors Workshop

2
The Sus'd Programme

• Sus'd is a sustainable construction programme
• It is designed to work with other on-site
  initiatives
• This programme is designed for Team Supervisors

3
What is Sustainability?

• Money making sure the project is cost-effective
  
• People making sure everyone works in a safe and
  pleasant workplace
• The environment making sure we minimise any
  damage to the environment in our work

4
What is Waste?

• 17 water-logged bags of cement on a pallet
  something weve all seen on construction sites
• What is the waste?
• Just the cost of 17 bags of cement?

5
More than just the costs
Slip and trip hazard
Energy used to make the cement
Cement leaking into ground water
Unpleasant Working conditions
Cost of transporting the cement to site
6
Did you know?

• The energy needed to make 1 brick is enough to
  brew nearly 2 pints of beer!
• Would you pour 2 pints down a drain?

7
Dont Waste Energy!

• If we waste a lot of materials, then we waste
  lots of energy used too
• This can mean not enough energy to do other
  things

8
More than just Waste

• Waste makes a site messy and a messy site is more
  hazardous
• The HSE reported that messy working conditions
  and poor housekeeping contributed to nearly 50
  of construction site accidents
• Reducing waste contributes to reducing hazards at
  work

9
Reducing waste is sustainable development

Tool Box Talks

  Supervisors in delivering the Sus'd programme
• The emphasis is on the Tool Box Talks for the
  teams and operatives

• The Hidden Construction Site
• Got it Susd?

13
Tool Box Talk Formats

• 3 Formats

• A flip-over presentation style (see below right)
• The flip-over format is recommended
• Or
• A pocket book

14
Flip-Over Format TBT

• The team sees the picture on the top right

  bottom right

15
Supervisors Hints
Bad practice
Good practice
Causes of bad practice
Root cause analysis
16
Pocket Book

• This is a pocket book published by UCATT
• It has the advantage that you can take it with
  you
• It contains both Tool Box Talks

17
Hidden Construction Site

• The Tool Box Talk is called the Hidden
  Construction Site because
• We see these things happening every day, in fact,
  so common that we no longer notices them, so they
  become invisible
• The problem is that these invisible items hamper
  our work and cause lots of problems and waste for
  us

18
8 Places to Visit

• We have 8 places to visit on the Hidden
  Construction Site
• They correspond to the Eight Major Wastes in a
  construction site
• Often these are the most expensive items on a
  construction site!

Using this Tool Box Talk

• You can use this Tool Box Talk in many ways
• Each Waste as a single TBT discuss the problem
  and use examples you encounter at your work to
  illustrate the problem and ask your team to come
  up with suggestions for improvement
• The whole 8 wastes as a general programme

29
Got it Susd?

• This Tool Box Talk is about how we can improve
  our workplace to make it safer and easier to work
  in
• It is based on a before and after photos style

30
Site Organisation

• Arrange the workplace to make it easy to work
• Set everything in order so that we can get on
  with our work
• Keep the workplace clean and clear of rubbish
  that may cause accidents

31
Site Organisation 1

• Arrange or Sort out the workplace
• This shows the dangers of having a messy site
  with tools and rubbish underfoot

32
Arrange

• Arrange your working area
• Temporary materials/ tools storage
• Make sure cables, hoses are not causing hazards
• Get rid of clutter and rubbish
• Get rid of unused and non-essential items
• Make sure your work area is safe and easy to work
  in

33
Site Organisation 2

• Set in Order- everything in its place and a place
  for everything

34
Set in Order

• Make all procedures and working methods as easy
  to use as possible
• Make sure everyone and everything (tools,
  information) in each area can be found easily
• Dont keep spares and extra bits around unless
  absolutely necessary

35
Site Organisation 3

• Clean Clear Up
• Segregating Waste
• By making sure we dispose of rubbish properly, we
  make our sites a safer and more pleasant place to
  work in

36
Slide Organisation 4

• No one likes to work in a messy and dirty
  environment
• It increases your risks because you cannot see
  what is underneath the mess and rubbish

37
Clean and Clear Up

• Make sure you are working in a clean area when
  you start
• Keep the work area and the whole site as clean
  and clear as possible
• Clean and Clear Up means doing your bit to keep
  the workplace safe all the time

38
Using this Tool Box Talk

• You can use this Tool Box Talk in many ways
• Each Waste as a single TBT discuss the problem
  and use examples you encounter at your work to
  illustrate the problem and ask your team to come
  up with suggestions for improvement
• The whole set as a general programme

39
Asking Why?

• If we start to ask why these problems (the 8
  wastes, do something, bad practices) we will get
  some answer
• If we ask Why? again (and again and again), we
  will get to the Root Cause
• If we tackled the Root Cause, the problem will
  not come back

40
Why does it happen?
Keep asking Why? until you get to the bottom of
it
41
Solutions

• Every because offers a chance of solving that
  level of the problem
• If we stop at level 3 (after 3 Why?s), then we
  solve the problem up to that level
• Ideally, we want to get to the bottom- usually
  not more than 5 Why?s

42
Root Cause

• Sometimes we cannot solve it at the Root Cause
  level
• No budget
• Wrong sort of skills
• Timetable is too tight
• So we go back up one level and solve what we can

43
Wheres this from?

• Root Cause or 5 Whys were also developed
  originally by Toyota
• It was designed to eliminate errors and defects
  in Toyota cars to improve quality

44
What to do with the ideas?

• Once your team has come up with solutions to the
  problems, we can log them and get on with solving
  them
• All the hint sheets have 4 questions to help you
  develop an action plan

45
4 Questions

• What can we do?
• What is our solution
• Who can help us?
• Who has the necessary knowledge?
• How do we do it?
• What is our plan of action?
• When will we do it?
• When will we start and finish?

46
Lets log the idea

• You have a good idea, lets do something with it!
• The aim is to respond to all ideas within 1
  working week

47
