Digitising quarry safety: Dynamic Safety Solutions and Esker Ready Mix success story

Checklist at construction site

As part of Quarry Safety Week, Dynamic Safety Solutions partnered with Skillko.com to trial a safety digitisation initiative with Esker Ready Mix. The aim was to boost training awareness, complete online Toolbox Talks (TBTs) and inductions for direct staff and contractors entering the site.

Firstly, we set up Skillko with Esker’s staff training records, enabling Esker management to easily track training status, upcoming expiry dates, and manage bookings.

From there, we uploaded the Quarry Safety Week TBTs we created for Esker — one for each day — and sent them out via Skillko. Each day, staff at Esker received the TBT via text, email or the Skillko app. They read, understood and signed off on each Toolbox Talk. Once completed, a certificate was automatically generated and saved to the staff profile within the Skillko account. This allowed Esker’s safety and management teams to easily demonstrate compliance for audits or in the event of accidents or incidents.

It made it extremely easy to see who had not completed the Toolbox Talks, with the system automatically sending reminders to those outstanding.

Esker Readymix used the Skillko app during quarry safety week. We found the app excellent for the daily toolbox talks. All employees were able to log in and watch the toolbox talks. It’s very convenient and no need for all employees in a meeting room. It was very user friendly for the employees and administrator. I would highly recommend the Skillko app.

The trial for Quarry Safety Week was a great success. The nature of the industry means that there a lot of employees, truck drivers especially, who are always on the move, so it can be difficult to gather everyone together for a toolbox talk. And with Covid-19, we have to be mindful of the numbers we can assemble at one time. The electronic communication of the information meant that the toolbox talks we had prepared for the week could be accessed by all personnel on their mobile phones, completed in their own time, and avoided large gatherings of people. It is an excellent means of communicating important health & safety information. Thank you to all the staff at Esker Readymix for their cooperation in trialling the system.
