Eliminating underground service strikes is one of MRPV���s highest priorities. Whenever we hit a service, we impact the public. We cause more disruption. We add cost to projects, and we delay project timelines, let alone the reputational damage of the impact on people's lives. A service strike can have a massive disruption impact to a business or a community member. Above all they are an avoidable safety risk and the service strikes put our plant operators and workers in harm's way. MRPV have implemented a set of minimum conditions that, when fully implemented, will mitigate the risk of service strikes into the future. These minimum requirements will apply to ground penetration permits and to GPP coordinators. Every time we break ground, we must have absolute confidence that service strikes will be avoided. Before you dig. Ensure the sort ground Penetration permit or GPP process is implemented in full by following these steps. Plan and prepare. Get to know the GPP process and requirements for your site. Identify the GPP coordinator and your role in the process. Investigate and expose the underground services in accordance with the GPP requirements. All identified services must be clearly marked on site in accordance with the GPP requirements. Commence the planned works within the limits of the GPP issued for the scope of work. The permit must be signed in receipt of the information prior to breaking ground. Complete and record the underground work, mark up the drawings and update the survey data system with the newly placed services and identify any unidentified services discovered during the works. Ensure all service strikes are reported and investigated in accordance with site requirements. The Ground Penetration Permit Coordinator play an essential role in the process of the ground penetration permit process. On commencing of the work, before we break ground, we need to make sure that everybody understands their roles and responsibilities regarding the ground penetration permit and the process. Preventing and eliminating service strikes is a collective responsibility that involves everyone. From supervisors, project managers, and GPP coordinators to laborers and operators. Your role is crucial to maintaining safety and efficiency. Together we can ensure the safety of our job site and prevent underground service strikes. Remember, before you dig, follow these important steps. Plan and prepare. Get to know the GPP coordinator process and requirements for your site. Investigate and expose underground services in accordance with the GPP requirements. Commence works within the limits of the issued Ground Penetration Permit. Complete and record the underground work. Update records of unidentified services discovered during the works. by locating it, exposing it, and walk the work crew through, a pre-site, inspection and familiarisation so that when they sign onto the permit, they've got the right information at their disposal, and know where all the services are. In the unlikely event that we do find underground service that is not being picked up with the service strike, it needs to be reported, investigated and documented. Upon completion of the work. We need to document all, services that we've been found, in our survey data. So that we can update our records for future reference. Please support us by adhering to the process. If you have any doubts before digging, please stop. Works and contact your supervisor. When service strike incidents occur, it becomes evident that many of these incidents can be prevented through careful planning and adherence to procedures and processes. Awesome. Oh, I should wait. Yeah, one can wait. How is delivered? Because that's what we're finishing on. How is the delivery down the camera for that last line? Maybe. Let's just do that last line. Together. We can ensure the safety of our jobsite and prevent micro service trucks. We will be on your side. Oh, no. Make sure. No double check. That we like the right. All right. Together. I'll go watch and ensure the safety of all sides and everyone on the ground. So let's go. Yes. Okay. Together, we can ensure the safety of our job I. Sounds. Yeah. It's cool. Yeah, yeah, I'll get some, you know, like, maybe some that. Yeah. Amelia. Amelia. Yeah. Okay. would you like to run into the hole as well and just do some stuff there? Yeah. yeah. That's cool. Yeah. Right. maybe stay there for me. Yeah. I just get, like, an over over the shoulder shot, and then I'll be. Okay. I mean, that's cool. Yeah. I think see? How many things? Just the one. Eliminating underground server strikes is one of my biggest priorities. When we strike, services workers are exposed to unnecessary risk of harm. And we create costly delays to project timelines. And of course, there's considerable costs in reinstallation or repair of services. Strikes are also massively disruptive to local businesses, stakeholders in the community who provide us with our social license to operate when they are continually being disrupted. We begin to lose their trust. Above all else, there are significant and avoidable safety risk and put the lives of plant operators and ground crew in harm's way. MRP may have mandated a set of minimum conditions that we believe will assist in embodying service strikes when fully implemented. These have been developed for the industry and detail our minimum expectations for a ground penetration permit process. And GPP coordinator. Eliminating, server strikes is one of my highest priorities. any server strike that that we encounter on on our jobs impacts project timelines. It impacts the public, the impacts, our ability to release a road back from a disruption. And most importantly, it it, above all else, are a significant and avoidable safety risk. They put, plant operators and crews in harm's way. Preventing and eliminating service strikes is a collective responsibility that involves everyone from supervisors, project managers, and JPA coordinators to operators and laborers. Your role is crucial in maintaining safety and efficiency. Please support our efforts by adhering to the process. If you have any doubts before digging, please stop work and consult your supervisor.
