o Commercial premises - establish that the following on-site systems and procedures are in place:
" Site-specific induction including emergency procedures
· Consultation in relation to hazards and risks. Ensure:
o Consult with the person you are carrying out the work for on the potential hazards and risks associated with the task
o If represented by an elected Health and Safety Representative (HSR), they must be included in any consultation
o Any other persons on site who are affected by the same matter are consulted and co-operative arrangements are made

CONTROL MEASURES TO REDUCE RISK
· Ensure ladders/planks/scaffolding components are well secured to the transport vehicle:
o The overhang of horizontally stored ladders/planks beyond the support points of the rack should be minimised
o The support points should be constructed of material such as wood or rubber-covered pipe to minimise the effects of vibration, chafing and road shock
o Securing the ladder/planks to each support point will greatly reduce the damaging effects of road shock
o Ensure the vehicle is suitable for the type and size of the ladder/planks
o The ladder/planks must be restrained to prevent unacceptable movement during all expected conditions while in transit:
" The load restraint system must meet the Regulation Performance Standards (see relevant authority)
" Check with the relevant authority on the rules and regulations on attaching warning devices on long loads
* A ladder rack attached to your work vehicles is the best tool for the job
* Secure the ladders/planks/scaffolding components to the rack so that is has no chance of falling from the vehicle and can protect the ladder / planks from damage, and other commuters on the road while in transit.
· Walk to the side of the vehicle to see how well centered the ladder/plank is from front to back
· Adjust the ladder/plank so that the majority of its length is centered directly above the truck from front to back
· Tie a red flag (at least 300mm x 300mm) on the end of any ladder/plank that extends beyond the rear of the vehicle
· If transporting at night, ensure ladder / plank that extend beyond the vehicle > 1m have a red warning light or two reflectors attached to the end of the ladder
* For ladders/planks that extend beyond 1m of the front or rear of the vehicle, check your state regulations for specific allowable overhangs
· Slide the ladder/plank to the side of the ladder rack if additional ladders will be loaded
· Load each additional ladder in the same manner as the first
· Tie each side of each ladder / plank to the frame of the ladder rack using appropriate tie down method (e.g. straps)
· Ensure strap are placed over the sides of the ladders / planks and in between the rungs of the ladders to keep extension ladders from moving forward or backward. -

• When changes to the workplace or work activity occur that create new / different risks where controls may no longer be effective
• New hazards identified
• After an incident involving work activities relevant to this SWMS
• During consultation with relevant persons indicate review is needed
• A Health and Safety Representative (HSR) requests a review in line with the requirements of the legislation. -
