 Achievements
• Trainings achieved (practical barring procedures, tramming, special instructions to
bobcat operators, VFL)

• First aid rooms (HQ, BV 16, BV 31, BV 32, and Gasambya site)

• PPEs distribution (especial cooperatives and subcontractors employees)

• Team improvement (every site has safety officer).

• Improving pre-entry examination (implementing safe declaration, stop and fix, hazard
identification log books on the sites)
 Areas for improvement
 Weekly tasks that will be complying with yearly Rutongo KPIs

 For induction

• HR department must communicate before if there is new employees, visitors or internees to be conducted

• Prepare training and induction to be given to new comers (employees/internees/visitors) according to the

department they will be working in.

 For PPEs

• PPEs issues, usage/distribution and their store.

• Subcontractors and cooperatives’ contract must be an article of PPEs usage when employees resign

she/he must submit PPEs she/he has given otherwise subcontractor/cooperative will be charged.

• PPEs standard with setting time bound.

 Areas for improvement
• Providing PPEs on time if the are available in the store

• Daily tracker

• First Aid trainings

• Implementing relevant signboards with safety measures everywhere it is necessary

(E.g. working safe is our priority, safety is first)

• To be involved in management team, planning team and decision making team (if the

system is going to change, share together the impacts of those changes)

• Have technical skills and practical knowledge about all aspects

 Areas for improvement
• Incident investigation report

 investigation report must be include: understandable description, immediate causes, root

causes, corrective actions(SMART), lesson learnt and witness statement.

 Investigation team (include someone who’s responsible HOD, safety officer, and competent
department) must be selected by GM

• Follow up (ensure that corrective actions taken have been implemented so far by who is responsible)

• Root causes must be shared then after immediate general inspection be done on the other sites to check
whether they are working safely.
 ISSUES
• No blasting timing (blasting twice a day e.g. BV 31,BV 71)

• Some subcontractor employees start working without removing shock tubes

• Poor ventilation/lack of needed air quality and quantity caused by dust, explosive fumes, bobcat
fumes ,welding fumes (shafts)

• No tramming equipment checklist

• Setting speed limit for movable underground equipment

• Learning from what happen and information be shared on time all over the other sites.

• Delay in supplying (medicines, PPEs)

• Working in uncleaned places

• Uninstalled pipes

• Transport issues (to arrive on site on time to deliver morning toolbox talk)
 Ending
• Questions

1. When to remove misfire? And by who?

2. Who are supposed to have 2 overalls?

3. Employees work overtime within nonnegotiable condition

• Closure
