• CONTROL MEASURES TO REDUCE RISK
  * Ensure ladders/planks/scaffolding components are well secured to the transport vehicle:
  - The overhang of horizontally stored ladders/planks 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 ladder/planks 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 ladder/planks
  - The ladder/planks must be restrained to prevent unacceptable movement during all expected conditions while in transit: l
  * 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 the work vehicles is the best tool for the job
  * Secure the ladders/planks to the rack so that it 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 centred the ladder/plank is from front to back
  - Adjust the ladder/plank so that the majority of its length is centred 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 i.e. each side of each ladder / plank to the frame of the ladder rack using appropriate tie down method (e.g. straps)
  - 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.
  MEASURES TO REDUCE RISK
  * Ensure to isolate main vehicle cabin from carrier area with a fixed barrier or transport paint and equipment on a trailer / tray back
  * Secure so paints / equipment cannot move during transit. * Corden off work areas using cones or barricades for all high-risk work involving hazardous substances
  * Inform site foreman of location of work team * Ensure control of mobile equipment on site * Where necessary a Traffic Management Plan will be implemented * When necessary a qualified traffic controller will be engaged

  * Park working vehicle in driveway or allocated parking to avoid travelling across roads when delivery working equipment
  * If setting up roadside - comply with local laws and permits
  * Segregation of mobile plant and workers by the use of hard barricades and signage * Workers are to use designated safe area at all times whilst forklift is working in the vicinity
  * Check constantly for changing hazards while working and monitor work position at all times. Ensure:
  - High visibility clothing worn at all times
  - Do not stand behind reversing vehicles
  - Allow sufficient distance from plant during operation (allow sufficient room for equipment failure - such as arm/boom failure
  or plant rollover)
  - No work is conducted in established "no go zones" for pedestrians
  - Alertness at all times.
  Listen for:
  - Reversing alarms/beepers - Calls from Plant Operators
  * Safety/warning signs, Spotters, traffic barriers etc. must be obeyed as required
  * Work positions should be in clear sight of plant operators
  * Follow traffic management plan requirements
  * NOTE: Some traffic management plans may say that pedestrians have right-of-way. Never assume this. Make visual and verbal
  contact with plant operator as required. * All operators of mobile equipment must have current licence and have had adequate training

  - 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.
