 My name is Neil Coulson. I'm the CEO of J.K.O Corporation, Australia's leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles. We pride ourselves on the J.K.O family and that's about our people and our business is all about our people, so safety is critical. We've committed to safety. We've made significant improvements. We're proud of that. I think all of our employees are proud of that. But we're equally clear that we're on a journey and that journey never ends, particularly with something like safety. Nathan, nice to meet you Nathan. So Stephen, how long have you worked at J.K.O? I've worked at J.K.O for five years. So I started out as just an aircon fitter on the line there and then I've worked my way up through to be a furniture fitter and then worked my way to a team leader position. So what we've been able to provide here is we've got the rolls of vinyl that go onto the caravan there. Each roll is 150 kilos. So two men, you just couldn't realistically do something like that. So you'd have to use the vinyl lifter now. And save a lot of grease and that way I can just crank it up. Cable's taken all attention. Back feels fine. You know, saving the backs of your legs, the back of your spine in your shoulders as well. And because you've got 17 units per day, you can't do it manually by yourself all day every day. You'll just burn yourself out otherwise. And what difference has this made for you and your team? Incredible difference, incredible difference. When I first started here, I told these guys last week I had to go in for an operation just due to having a hoodie. I'm from doing too much of the manual lifting. A job like this has just taken that pressure off, you know. All the people in the team now. There's no added injury that's happened since any of these equipments come in. So it's been a great, great saving course for us down here. The support network here is fantastic. That is, if you've got an idea, everyone will help get behind it and they'll all work towards that one roll. And then that way they can feed it back to me and they can let me know. It was a great idea. We couldn't fit what you were thinking in, but we've then come back with this idea. How do you think of that? Because you're the one that's going to use it. So a lot of communication between these different sectors all coming for that one roll of safety. At the moment we're winning, but we can keep winning, you know. We can keep moving that path. Do you think you'll ever stop improving safety? Oh, no way. No way. The day we stop is the day somebody will get seriously injured. On your own journey. That's right, yep. So, Peter, tell us what happens here as part of your job. Yep, there's got a crane here. It's a suction crane. So it just sucks onto the side frame, lifts it up mechanically. So again, no lifting involved. Just sliding along the roller. Okay, because there'd be a bit of weight in those. Yeah. When I first started, they used to be done manually. You just have to have like three or four guys to carry it. Okay. But now they've got the lifter. So compared to having three or four guys having to stop their work, just to hold it there. Yep. It's made it a lot easier. So now the new equipment, the new lifting aids and those sorts of things have been introduced at JOKO. Has it changed the job for you and your team, and how has it changed it? It's just taken away like the risk of injury, basically. Right. There's no lifting, so there's no wrong way to do it, so you can't really hurt yourself. Yeah. It makes your whole day's work easier. Yeah. If your work's easier, then you seem to work a bit happier. Yep. Better produce a better product. Yeah. What have been the changes in how your teams complete their tasks and the sort of manual handling equipment we can see here? Well, for the last few years, we've got this new clean spirit. Beforehand, there was a lot of manual handling. There was a high risk of injury, you know, time loss as well. That affects us a lot. So this must be a lot different to the way it was before. We've got four people lifting this roof to put them on the line. And what does the team think about using this sort of manual handling device? They actually do refuse to lift them by hand. OK. And I advice them to keep refusing because we have people who have it into the back before. It must give you confidence that now you've got this machine, you're improving safety and you're improving confidence. The race is confident, the race is tomorrow and people, they all want to come in and do the job. Yeah. Yeah. No one wants to come into the workplace and think, oh no, I'm going to injure myself today, literally. Yes. So I understand maybe you had an injury and the lifters have subsequently come in. Can you tell us a little bit about that? What happened was before we had the lifters, everything was being manual handled. Yep. So myself and that operator were moving one of the roofs onto another bench. Yeah. I felt a bit of a crack on my back. Yeah. What's the difference now with the sort of roof lifters and things you've got? I don't have to lift it. Yeah. The machine doesn't for me, all I've got to do is press a button. Yeah. So it makes it very easy for us. Stephen, what's the best part of your job here at JK? I've just seen the dreams of people getting built. Just a huge sense of pride in me, you know, that I was able to build that van. I've set them up on their dream, they're off on their dream holiday travelling around and now they're just having the time of their lives due to what we've done in here in the factory. So it sounds like you're pretty passionate about what you're building. Oh, very passionate. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, this is my career. I'm not going anywhere. I'm in the young guy now. You know, I've got another 40, 50 years of working life in front of me. So stick with something that I know, that I like and that I love and keep kicking goals. Meeting with Harvey Ayer, Peter and Stephen today was just fantastic. The fact that some of their ideas and some of their thoughts have been realised and introduced and are improving safety at JK is a great credit to their commitment. And if the demonstration of effort and the conversations I had today are any indication, communications are number one priority to achieving improved safety and we have a very solid platform with great citizens like those guys who are doing a fantastic job communicating the safety message around JK. I just wanted to thank you guys for participating. JK was invited by WorkSafe to participate in this project and I sort of jumped at the opportunity because I thought just getting out there and in this fantastic disguise where nobody would pick me. I thought it was pretty good. It got me going for a while. I was like, that's a bit of a cheap moustache. I'm quite sad if it about it. But getting out there and finding out what was actually happening out there, how you guys felt about it because I think as you appreciate, you know, we're pretty committed to safety here. But sometimes, you know, you miss out on what the guys are thinking out there. So you're three guys that are going to be a big part of JK's future and we've not only got the strong foundations of today but we've got a fantastic opportunity going forward. So, well, thanks very much for your time, guys. I much appreciate it. Thanks, Adia. Thank you very much. Thanks, mate.
