  2. Benchmarking • During this induction we will take 3 breaks and ask you to complete a survey containing 5 questions each • Your responses will provide us with benchmark data that will indicate how successful we have been in inducting you. • Periodically, we will conduct a random survey on 10% of employees to identify if there is drift from the overall benchmark • This will allow us to refine our methods of induction • At the end of the induction you will be provided a feedback form for any suggestions/comments you may have

  3. Section 02 About the Electrical Safety Management Plan

  4. The QNP Safety Management System Includes the Safety Manual, Procedures and Forms that ensure compliance with current legislation – The owners of these documents are the QNP Management  Electrical Safety Management Plan The Electrical Safety Management Plan is tailored to meet site needs that includes extracts from the Electrical Safety Act, relevant Australian Standards and from the QNP Safety Management System. The Electrical Safety Plan is owned by the Site Electrical Engineer  Work Method Statements Are based on the both of the above and are owned by Employees Three Levels of Safety Management

  5. Electrical Safety Vision “To be a recognised by our: employees, contractors, peers and customers as a Leader in Electrical Safety”

  6. Zero Incidents Objective of WH&S Management Plans The objective of the Electrical Safety Management Plan is to ensure that an ‘electrically safe’ working environment is maintained on the site for the mutual benefit of a QNP Stakeholders including: employees, contractors, the public and customers

  7. Zero Incident Philosophy • In adopting the concept that all injuries are intolerable and preventable we must constantly strive for Zero Incidents. • If an injury does occur we are obligated to identify how and why the injury happened and then make positive changes to work methods in an endeavour to avoid any repeat episodes. • However, the goal of Zero Incidents remains our constant target.

  8. Serious or Major Injury 1 Not here Minor Injuries 10 Property Damage Accidents 30 Incidents with No Visible Injury or Damage 600 Why Zero Incidents? Focusing our attention here Gives us more opportunity to prevent injuries

  9. Clause 4 The Scope of WH&S Management Plans The scope of this plan includes all areas of the site that electrical work is undertaken by QNP and/or QNP contractors and their employees

  10. Clause 5 Definitions used • Work Method Statement also means JSEA, (Job Safety and Environment Analysis). • Shall also means mandatory • Should suggests there is an opportunity for options • Safety has the same meaning as safety and health • Assessed/authorised means assessed/authorisedON THIS SITE Initial the Induction Check Sheet
