Inspection Instructions

  • 1. Use this checklist to inspect for bank instability hazards associated with the Wide bay and Teddington Weir Water Supply Schemes, as per the Hazard Inspection Matri.

    2. The responsible person as indicated in the Hazard Inspection Matrix may delegate the responsibility to Managers, Supervisors, WHSRs, or other trained workers. Ideally the inspection will be carried out by two person to ensure an accurate assessment.

    3. For any 'Y' ticked, conduct a risk assessment using the 'Risk Assessment Calculator' and write down the risk level on the checklist. (any code identified as either an E or H based on a safety risk must be immediately reported to the Treatment manager or Catchment Manager, or in the case of a safety issue the WHSO so a formal, documented risk assessment may be conducted).

    4. When completed, rectify all identified hazards where possible. The Treatment or Catchment Manager will transfer any hazard that can't be rectified immediately to the relevant 'Rectification Action Plan' (RAP).

    5. The Treatment and Catchment Manager will coordinate the investigation and delegation of the RAP.

    6. The Investigation team will discuss the control/corrective actions and monitor if the RAP has been effectively actioned, verified and signed off.

  • Inspection Sites:

    Lenthalls Dam (headwater and tailwater), Burrum Weir 1 (headwater and tailwater), Burrum Weir 2 (headwater and tailwater), Teddington Weir (headwater and tailwater).

  • Definitions:

    Rectified: Hazard/Checklist item has been rectified at time of inspection

    Transfer to RAP: The Hazard/Checklist item cannot be rectified immediately & needs to be transferred to the Rectification Action Plan for the specific site (located in the Hazard Database and updated by the WHSO).
