TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

Serco’s environmental services business approached The Tess Group to discuss how we could help with ensuring their roadside cleansing staff whilst working on their daily operations were working safely whilst still being efficient. Serco work exclusively with local authorities, providing services like: refuse collections, litter picking, grass cutting and tree surgery. All jobs that involve workers being at risk alongside or in the road.

Throughout the industry between 2009 and 2012, a number of road side incidents had occurred resulting in injury and the death of a competitor’s cleansing operative whilst they were engaged in litter picking by the roadside. Serco were very keen to prevent employees from being a grizzly statistic.

The Tess Group Solution

Traffic Management Solutions for Environmental ServicesWe provided a consultancy service to comprehensively examine all aspects of their local government Cleansing operations across their Client Contracts. This was a “root and branch” task visiting all the contracts and encompassed carrying out assessments of their daily operational working, vehicle fleet, equipment and training. Our resident traffic management expert worked continuously with Hilary Woods, Regional Health and Safety Advisor. The Consultation was inclusive in that not only were Operational Managers consulted but also operational staff so that they bought into to the need for the review and they felt included in the development of safer working practices and schemes of work. Seminars for staff at all levels have been staged to ensure involvement in problem solving the issues surrounding working at the roadside be that a dual carriageway, rural or urban road. Consultation was also undertaken with Local Government officials to ensure that Serco’s clients understood the need to change and how this was being done. We were able to bring our vast experience and knowledge to analyse the risks the operatives faced on a daily basis. We made recommendations to Serco for changes that increased the levels of safety without hampering the operation. The principals of safe Traffic Management and the Chapter 8 Codes of Practice were applied to this task.

FIRST PERSON ON SCENE TRAINING FOR SECURITY

Tess Compliance and Safety were commissioned to provide a First Person On Scene training programme, by a leading UK-based security company looking after one of London’s premier entertainment parks. As an established and well respected training provider, we were asked to provide this training which was specific to their needs to provide a paramedic level immediate first aid response. The customer identified the need to respond to medical emergencies in large crowd situations at this popular venue. At times of crowd build up and during the event, access can be an issue and time to respond to illness and accident is crucial.

First Person On Scene case study

So what does First Person on Scene training include?

The First Person On Scene training is specialist training that covers:

  • Pre hospital environment
  • Patient assessment
  • Airway management
  • Respiration management
  • Basic life support
  • Defibrillation
  • Circulation and shock
  • Medical related emergencies

How did we do this? Small classes of 6 -10 were trained so we could give one to one coaching as well as instruction and training. This is a demanding pass or fail course. So participants already had experience of providing an emergency response to illness and accident at public entertainment venues. The calibre of people attending the course was high and we attained a 100% pass rate.
