Design Issues Risk Management
-
Integration of design issues into the risk management process.
-
Where the head contractor is involved in the design or has input into the design, a documented process exits for ensuring risk assessments are undertaken at the design stage to identify, assess and manage OHS build ability issues that may arise during construction.<br><br>Where the head contractor has no input into the design, a documented process exists for ensuring design-related build ability hazards are identified, assessed and managed pre-construction stage.
-
NOTE <br><br>For all design criteria, the scope of the criteria covers OHS build-ability/construct-ability issues during construction only. The scope of the criteria does not include other life cycles including end user and on-going maintenance OHS considerations.
-
There is a documented process/procedure (or similar document) that defines the methodology for ensuring that when the head contractor has no input into the design (i.e. construct only contracts) that OHS build-ability/construct-ability (design) risk reviews are requested from the designer/client (and where they are found to be inadequate the risk assessment is performed by the head contractor) and managed through an appropriate process (i.e. project risk assessment.)
-
There is a documented process/procedure (or similar document) that defines the methodology (including criteria and tools) for ensuring that when design input is provided (i.e. design and construct contracts) That OHS build-ability/construct-ability (design) risk reviews are performed, recorded and where practicable appropriately managed at design stage and prior to construction commencing.
-
OHS design risk register.
-
Design specifications to designers including OHS considerations.
-
Contract specifications requiring design review.
-
Evidence of design review.
-
New revision to design plan.
-
Designs have been assessed and reflect changes where necessary.
-
Project risk assessment addresses residual risks from the design risk assessment (i.e. risks that cannot be designed out) and there is a procedural link for this to have occured.
-
There is a documented process that ensures design changes during the construction phase are reviewed, assessed, documented and controlled.
-
There is a documented process/procedure (or similar document) that defines a process for managing changes to design during construction, including a requirement to document, review, and assess risk and the implementation of commensurate controls associated with the change.
-
Modification to design is controlled to prevent unauthorised design change or use of redundant design.
-
Design approval controls/permission.
-
Design changes have been assessed and SWMS/JSAs reflect the change where necessary.
-
OHS plan amendment.
-
Records of design change review.
-
Design of drawing register.
-
New revisions to OHS plans, SWMS/JSAs
-
There is a documented process that ensures any new OHS hazards resulting from design changes during the construction phase are communicated to workers.
-
A documented process/procedure (or similar document) that defines a process for communicating OHS hazards to worker introduced as a result of a design change during construction.
-
Communication is updated SWMS/JSAs when change is identified.
-
Updating og construction plans.
-
Communications procedure.
-
Updated SWMS/JSAs, OHS plan amendment, updated induction content to reflect the relevant design change.
-
Record of toolbox communications.
