Prohibition Notice

A Prohibition Notice was served by the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) for a defective concrete pump on the 22nd October 2008, which was being used by Floorscreed Ltd on behalf of J Coffey Construction Ltd at the Audi West Project. The pump was inspected 2 days prior to the Prohibition Notice being served by our on-site manager, who did not report any defects. On the day of the 22nd October 2008, the visiting HSE Inspector Mr. V Neaverson found the guard protecting the mixing blades to have been snapped off and the operation of the pump still in use, resulting in both J Coffey Construction Ltd and Floorscreed Ltd receiving a Prohibition Notice being served.

Actions were taken to satisfy the Prohibition Notice: the pump was removed from the site the same day and taken to Floorscreed Ltd Plant Yard where the guard was welded back in place and a new hopper lid fitted. The pump was returned to the site the next day where it was photographed for evidence of the actions being carried out and emailed to the HSE Inspector as proof, after verbal communication with the HSE Inspector he confirmed work could continue.
