Cooperation in the workplace was paid little attention until recently. We can tell by the many different practices between (and even within) plants, for example managing the shift teams, the shift handover, tackling problems or ideas by technologists, production staff, HSE and others. We also see that production uses paper, Word, Excel and Access as the principal means for communication.
In early July 2010 the BAM contracting company reached the highest point in the construction of the BAVIRO waste-fired power plant for SITA ReEnergy in the southern Dutch city of Roosendaal. The BAM Civiel/ AE&E consortium (previously Von Roll Innova) is the turn-key contractor for the civil engineering and architectural aspects of the project, as well as for equipment installation. BAM Civiel is using an automated permit-to-work system on this project for the first time in the company’s history.
One of the activities that the people at iBanx HSE are involved in is workplace coaching. For example, a new work permit process was developed for the pharmaceutical company MSD in Oss (formerly Organon), based on best practices. In the new process, the roles and responsibilities of the parties involved have changed. It’s just one good reason why it makes sense to use iBanx for your workplace coaching. Ed Hustinx explains all about it.
