1. HAV’s Alstom Metro RSSB Conference Simon Broadley , Fahd Janjua
GUIDELINES:
This Managers’ kit has been designed for top 360 managers.
Its aim is to support you in explaining what is happening as of Day 1 and who we are as the new Alstom.
We advised to gather your teams within the first week following the closing of the Alstom-GE deal.

4. What was Midlife? Midlife Project Facts
The Midlife or refurbishment project was which was intended to regenerate the Northern Line Fleet in the services sector.
The project was solely aimed at the aesthetics of the train.
The project was undertaken at Morden Traincare Depot.
The customer was London Underground / Tubelines.
Health and Safety / Control Measures
All project staff where provided with PPE according to their day to day tasks.
HAVs exposure was not fully understood by the project team and therefore the staff awareness and training was not adequate. Luckily for us, there was good information and exposure calculators available. ( )

5. Controlling the Risks
Once we understood the risks and the control methods, a simple self paper assessment was developed and operator training given.

6. Act Plan Do Check Next Steps & PDCA
Although the simple paper assessment worked, we quickly realised the operators could manipulate the trigger times to suit other objectives. An alternative monitoring device was needed!
Following return of experience from other Alstom projects a paper system was introduced.
Initial data from paper system was slow and inconsistent and open to manipulation
Midlife scope of work identified to have risk of high hand arm vibration exposure.
CURO system identified as best system through case study research.

The Curotec System

Curo records data per day.

HAV Data
Data is shown with comparative warnings.
Data is dated and sorted for the employee.
Data is downloaded each day.

8. Return of Experience
Plan your process before any physical work is undertaken.
Make sure the operative's are well trained and haven't suffered any prior symptoms of HAV’s is the past, this can be achieved through medical screening.
The paper self assessments can only work for small well motivated, closely managed groups.
A independent remote monitoring system is best for large groups or distant workers.
The Curotec system is time efficient, which allows for time to be spent on other vital project tasks.
Data cannot be modified or tampered.
A safety operating procedure (SOP) has been developed and released.
