Emergency procedure
-
In an emergency, follow the sites evacuation plan as discussed in induction.<br>- If safe to do so, lower mechanical attachments on mobile plant, turn off your machine and remove the keys prior to moving to the emergency evacuation point.<br>Contact with electrical services<br>- If you have made contact with electrical services, do not move or attempt to get out of your machine. <br>- warn others surrounding the machine verbally to stay away<br>- Have co-workers isolate the area in a 10 metre radius of the machine so others cannot enter.<br>- Contact the service company and have them isolate the electrical equipment that you are in contact with. <br>- Once the isolation is confirmed, you can then attempt to remove the machine from the electrical components.<br>Never attempt to get out of the machine if it is in contact with electrical lines.<br>
Work in an area with movement of powered mobile plant
-
Operation of Mobile plant - workers struck by mobile plant
-
Exclusion zones (red flagging) are to be used where other trades may enter earthworks
-
All operators of machinery that requires a HRWL are to hold a current High-Risk Work Licence of the correct class. Operators of machinery that do not require a high-risk licence such as skid steers and excavators are to be competent and hold a VOC for the equipment they are using.
-
Operators are to look before they reverse and use a spotter when their visibility is obstructed.
-
Operation of Mobile plant- Unsafe Mobile plant
-
Plant is to be inspected and maintained in accordance with manufacture’s requirements
-
Conduct a Pre-Start inspection of plant prior to use each day. Record checks in the Pre-start book
-
Working around other plant on site - Workers being struck by mobile plant
-
Workers are to get visual permission from machinery operators before approaching machinery.
-
Respect other trades exclusion zones and follow directions from machinery spotters.
-
Working around other plant on site- crushing injuries
-
Workers are to avoid being under suspended loads
-
Do not work under a Hydraulically suspended components of machinery such as excavator booms, skid steer buckets unless safety chocks are in place.
-
Environmental Management
-
NO waste runoff is permitted from the site.
-
Works are to be performed during allocated time on the site
-
Dust from the excavation is to be controlled with water sprays. No dust allowed to leave site.
Likely to involve disturbing asbestos
-
Working in environments that may contain Asbestos- Inhalation of Asbestos fibres
-
Workers must complete an approved Asbestos Awareness course to work on construction sites
-
If you find asbestos in the workplace. Stop work and notify the WHS Manager. An Asbestos assessor will be required to check the material to determine whether it is or is not Asbestos.
Work in an area that may have a contaminated or flammable atmosphere
-
Earthworks - Creation of Silica Dust
-
Water is to be used to suppress dust created by earthworks onsite
Risk of a person falling more than 2 metres
-
Working near excavations Falling into void
-
Voids must be protected with a hard barrier (barrier that will withstand a large person barging against it) such as restrained handrails or restrained site fencing around the perimeter of the void. Alternatively, a soft barrier may be used (one that will not withstand a barge from a large person) provided that is 2 metres back from the edge and clearly warns the person of the danger of the void. For voids over 2 metres hard barriers should be used.
-
Drilling piers Falling into void
-
While drilling, the auger provides fall protection. Once the hole has been completed, covers made from reinforcing mesh are to be placed over the hole and adequately restrained.
Work in or near a shaft or trench deeper than 1.5 m or a tunnel
-
Work in trenches and shafts greater than 1.5 metres high Trench collapse
-
Work is not permitted in trenches or shafts greater than 1.5 metres without a Geotechnical report saying it is safe to do so. Without this it is only permissible if the walls are shotcreted, a batter is used, or the walls are otherwise effectively restrained from collapse.
-
Work in trenches and shafts greater than 1.5 metres high - Falling objects
-
Heavy and Awkward Items are not to be lowered into a trench or excavation while workers are in the excavation. Remove workers lower the item into the excavation, one lowered in, workers can return and guide the item into place from above/side of the load.
Work on or near pressurised gas mains or piping
-
Digging trenches and pits Breaking a pressurised gas main or pipe open with the excavator or other machine
-
Piping is to be located on the site plans and via “dial before you dig”. Once the general location of piping is known, location holes are to be made with a hydrovac, so that the exact location of the pipe work is known. Machinery must not dig closer to than the exclusion zone distance specified by the service provider. Emergency isolation valves for the gas main should be known prior to operating near high-risk piping
Work on or near energised electrical installations or services
-
Using power tools - Electrocution
-
Tools are to be in good condition and tagged Quarterly on Projex sites
-
Tools are to be kept dry and Leads are to be suspended
-
Temporary power boards - Electrocution/ fire
-
Workers are not to move or alter temporary power boards.
-
Excavating near buried services - Electrocution
-
Services are to be located as accurately as possible using Dial Before You Dig (DBYD), site plans or information provided by service companies.
-
Services locations are to be confirmed by physically locating them using hydrovac before excavation can begin
-
During excavation machinery buckets and other attachments must not breach the following exclusion distances: <br>- Low & Medium Voltage lines 50cm<br>- High Voltage Lines (66-132kV) 3 Metres<br>Excavation inside the exclusion distances is to be completed with hydrovac. <br>Please Note: Distances taken from Evo Energy’s website
-
Operation of plant near above ground powerlines - Electrocution
-
Ensure that the following exclusion zones are maintained while operating machinery<br>- Within 10m of a high Voltage power line without a spotter <br>- Within 8m of a high voltage power line with an approved electrical spotter<br>- Within 6.4m of a low voltage powerline without a spotter<br>- Within 3m of a low voltage powerline with an approved electrical spotter<br>Distances taken from the National Standard. Check distance with non-physical measuring devise
required adjustments

Are there additional changes the work group would like?
