Site Operations - Plant Operation

Telehandler window shattered when reversing and making contact with stationary digger arm. Operator (Edgar Grills) was reversing with window open and did not hear bankman's warning due to site noise. The telehandler's open window was pinched against the arm of a stationary digger, causing the window to shatter.

N/A

Multiple factors: 1) Operator error during reversing maneuver in restricted space 2) Environmental noise preventing effective communication 3) Inadequate bankman signaling in noisy environment 4) Open window creating pinch point and reducing visibility 5) Non-authorized bankman used 6) Absence of direct supervision 7) Unclear chain of command

1) Conduct toolbox talk on incident and interim safety measures 2) Implement buddy system for telehandler operations 3) Provide refresher training for operators and bankmen 4) Enhance communication protocols (standardized hand signals, two-way radios) 5) Review and revise site traffic management plan 6) Develop telehandler pre-operation checklist 7) Implement professional banksman certification
