TOFS Campaign

Colin Esslemont Centrica

The Wells initiative undertaken by Centrica after a high number of dropped object incidents – over 240 since 2009, and 50 of those were classed as HiPo’s. Observations made and lessons learned by Centrica, including many examples. Interestingly, Centrica identified a high frequency of incidents associated with outbound cargo, as opposed to the traditionally observed spikes associated with backloading. A Time Out For Safety was held at all sites to discuss, understand what was going on and to feed back. This helped Centrica develop and deliver a highly focused dropped object awareness campaign. The initiative employed many of the standard DROPS products and tools and has been instrumental in delivering great success and much improved performance.
