Title Mixer truck rollover

What?
• On July 8, 2021 at 05:47 a.m., the driver of a concrete mixer truck,
on his first trip to the construction site, was driving at a speed of 41
km/h on a road limited to 60 km/h max. For reasons that are still
being investigated, he went out of bounds and when trying to come
back he overturned due to the 50 cm drop. The driver left the cab
under his own power and reported the incident. Holcim staff rushed
to the scene of the incident and took the driver to a clinic for medical
attention.
Why?
• Dark environmental conditions.
• Complacency overconfidence collaborator.
• Distraction factor having received calls even though you don't
answer the phone.
What we learned
• That self-identification of mental states is important to trigger alertness.
• The fact that it is important to measure the frequency of risk analysis (2-2=0) is an aspect that has not yet become a habit in most
collaborators.
• That there are distractors such as a call entry that, even if the driver does not answer the phone, can become a factor of
distraction and risk.
What I will do
• Carry out technical stoppages in plants to publicize the incident.
• Continue promoting the safe habits and group training program and the identification of mental states through risk analysis in the field
• Promote the APP application so that collaborators can record their risk analysis in the field and measure the frequency and habit of analysis and
establish an indicator of the number of analyzes carried out by each collaborator.
• Prepare the talk of distractors when driving and highlight the unforeseen aspects and carry out an evaluation to ensure that it has been understood.
• Make balance of consequences to collaborator.
