  * Ensure ladders and components are well secured to the transport vehicle:
  - The overhang of horizontally stored equipment beyond the support points of the rack should be minimised
  - 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
  - Securing the equipment to each support point will greatly reduce the damaging effects of road shock
  - Ensure the vehicle is suitable for the type and size of the equipment
  - The equipment 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)
  - Tie a red flag (identifying marker) on the end of any ladder/plank that extends beyond the rear of the vehicle
  - Ensure straps 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.

  * Accessed by internal ladder only, do not climb on scaffold
  * Clear of penetrations or floor edges (by at least 1metre where possible)
  * Do not use steps or ladders on top of the work platform to gain extra height
  * Do not move the scaffold with persons or materials on it.
  * Before moving the scaffold ensure that it is clear of obstructions, both overhead and, at ground level
  TRESTLE SCAFFOLD:
  * Guardrails, toe board sides & ends are in place
  * Erected as per manufacturer's specifications
  * Purpose-designed pins
  * Min 2 planks or 450mm wide
  * Suitable span of plank (based on thickness). Example: Thickness of 38mm = 1.5m span, Thickness of 50mm = 2m span, Thickness of 63mm = 2.5m span)
  PLATFORM LADDERS:
  * Ensure industrial rating
  * Non-slip treads
  * Trestle back undamaged
  * Suitable height hand rail (900mm)
  * Triangular flat plate bracing
  * Correct size for job (platform level)

  - Any water condensate is drained from the compressed air system
  - Satisfactory pressure for the operation of the spray gun
  - Spray gun is held perpendicular to the surface area being sprayed at all times, with the airline held back away from the item
  - Work arranged to minimise exposure. Be aware of wind direction, avoid spraying into wind (rotate work - not operator)
  - Staggered work positions to avoid overspray of the operators
  - Spray gun pointed only at the work - never at yourself or another person
  - Spraying is not done in upward direction, as this directs spray into breathing zone and face.

Review & Monitor

• To ensure controls are implemented and monitored effectively:
  * Toolbox /pre-work meetings will be undertaken
  * Relevant persons will be consulted on hazards and contents of SWMS, work plans and other applicable information
  * Control measures will be monitored throughout works:
  - Spot checks
  - Consultation
  - Scheduled audits
  - Corrective actions will be recorded and rectified in a timely manner SWMS will be reviewed and updated accordingly (in consultation with relevant persons)
  
  Ensure all controls are reviewed as per the following:
  * Controls fail to reduce risk adequately
  * 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.
