  9. Purpose of this Induction • Communicate Company Objectives and aspirations for Work Health, Safety and the Environment • Ensure a safe work environment • Promote a productive and fair workplace

  10. To achieve a safe working environment, the following principles apply to our everyday work environment: SafetyPrinciples • That all accidents and injuries are preventable; • No job is so important that it cannot be done safely; • Work processes and safe working procedures must be followed at all times in the work place.

  11. Work Health and Safety Policy

  12. To provide and maintain safe workplaces, plant and systems of work. Report all Major Incidents & Accidents. Provide employees with adequate information, instruction, training and supervision. Consult and co-operate with elected safety and health representatives. Provide employees with adequate Personal Protective Equipment. Ensure the safe use of plant and Equipment. Duty of Care – The Employer Employer’s specific duty of care:

  13. Employees-Contractors-Self Employed Persons Duty of Care - Q. Who is responsible for Safety? • It is the duty of the employee to: • Take reasonable care to ensure your own safety. • Take reasonable care to ensure the safety of others. • Follow your Supervisors instructions. • Wear all personal protective clothing where directed. • Report all hazards and injuries to your supervisor. • Not misuse or deliberately damage any safety equipment General Safety Rules Q. If you notice a hazard, what do you do?

  14. Safety Issue- Resolution Employees are required to work safely and in safe conditions at all times. • If and whenever you have a concern on any safety issue, or you believe the conditions are unsafe; first raise it with your supervisor • If you are not satisfied with the action taken, talk with your safety representative or safety advisor who will seek a solution to the issue • If then the issue is not resolved it will be taken to the Managing Director for resolution Q. If you disregard Safety, what could happen to you?

  15. General Safety Rules • Follow your managers/supervisors instructions • If your not sure or don’t know / ASK SOMEBODY • Keep your work area clean and tidy • Use the correct tools / equipment for the job and use them safely. • Only adjust, alter and repair equipment when authorized to do so. • Wear approved and appropriate PPE correctly. • Lift correctly Q. If you don’t understand, what do you do?

  16. Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) – Hierarchy of Controls • ELIMINATION of the hazard • SUBSTITUTION e.g. of the equipment or substance • ISOLATION e.g. distance or enclosure • ENGINEERING controls e.g. guarding • ADMINISTRATIVE controls e.g. supervision, training • PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT HINT: Types of Controls are ESIE As Pie

  17. Definitions • Risk managementis the systematic identification of hazards, the assessment (analysis and evaluation) of risks posed by the hazards and the control of those risks, either by eliminating the hazard entirely or by minimising the risk AS/NZS4360:2004 Risk Management

  18. Hazard Identification A hazard is a source of danger which has the potential to cause harm, injury or damage There are three types of hazards - visible, hidden and developing. • Visible hazards - are those that can be readily seen and identified for example a grinding wheel. • Hidden hazards - are not readily seen for example an electrical equipment fault. • Developing hazards - are the type of hazards which, if not fixed, could become worse. For example wear and tear of equipment such as a piece of lifting equipment

  19. Hazard Identification Types of Hazards: • Impact • Penetration • Harmful airborne contaminants • Repetitive motions • Heat • Compression • Chemical exposures • Sharp edges • Potential for being caught between • “Struck by” hazards • Environmental hazards

  20. Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) • What is a Job Hazard Analysis? • A Means of breaking the process down. • A Method of identifying hazards. • A Means for employees to understand the job. • A Means for employees to understand hazards. • A Method of assessing and deciding upon CONTROLS. • A way to minimise the risk when performing a job. Q. Is a JHA a system to help employees understand the risks?

  21. JHA – Developing Hazard/Risk Controls Some questions to consider when developing “Controls” • What PPE is available? • Has the worker been trained? • Is the worker positioned properly? • Is lockout/tag out or other permits required? • Are there any procedures available? • What are the sources of the hazard i.e. chemicals, noise etc? • Are slips, trips and falls a possibility? • How can the Hierarchy of Controls be implemented?

  22. Job Safety Analysis – Reducing The Risk • The Final Step to performing a JSA is to evaluate the intended controls to ensure that the risks have been reduced to as low as reasonably practicable.

  23. Risk Matrix 5 = Almost Certain - Common/Frequent Occurrence 4 = Likely - Is known to occur or “It has happened regularly" 3 = Possible - Could occur or “I’ve heard of it happening” 2 = Unlikely - Not likely to occur very often 1 = Rare - Conceivable but only in exceptional circumstances

  24. Evacuation Procedures • If the site evacuation alarm sounds you must: • 1. Leave the area quickly • 2. DO NOT RUN • 3.

  40. Owner TestDate Equipmenttype LLicenceNumber PlantNumber Signature Portable Electrical Equipment All portable electrical equipment must be fitted with a current inspection tag. An example of the inspection tag and colour coding is provided below. December to February March to May June to August September to November RED: GREEN: BLUE: YELLOW: YOU are responsible for ensuring that: • All electrical equipment is tagged and in good condition prior to your use by a licenced electrical technician- If not return to management and let them know Q. What do the colours represent? Q. Who can repair and tag equipment?

  41. Flammable or explosive with the potential for serious burns or injury from explosion • Corrosive these substances, such as acids and caustic soda, can cause severe burns on contact with your body • Toxic – they can enter into the body through breathing fumes and dusts, by ingestion, or by absorption through the skin Chemical Safety Many chemicals can be hazardous to your health and safety by having the following properties: • Always • Read the SDS before using a chemical that is unfamiliar to you. • Follow the instructions on the SDS. • Do not use any chemical that has no label on the container or you are not sure what it is. • Observe good hygiene practices by washing any areas of yourself that may have been exposed to chemicals. • Make sure you are aware of the location of all safety showers and eye wash stations. • Direct flammables away from sources of ignition or fire • Asphyxiants - such as cyanide, can prevent the body absorbing oxygen. Q. What categories of chemicals are there? Hint; F.A.C.T.

  42. Handling of Chemicals - SDS No chemicals are to be brought onto site without a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). The SDS identifies: • The properties of the substance, • Any potential health effects • First aid treatment in case of contact • PPE requirements • Safe handling requirements and emergency requirements. If you don’t know the safe use of any chemical - don’t use it before you have found out. Refer to the SDS and get advice from your supervisor!

  43. Isolation and Lockout- Tags • Procedures for using PERSONAL DANGER TAGS • Attach A PERSONAL DANGER TAG to the main isolating switch or valve. • You are the only person, who can remove your PERSONAL DANGER TAG, except in certain circumstances when a responsible Supervisor may remove it after gaining permission from the Manager. • You must remove your PERSONAL DANGER TAG if you leave the job for a reasonable length of time. • Everyone working on a particular piece of equipment or machine, which has been tagged out, must place their own PERSONAL DANGER TAG on the designated isolation point. Personal Danger Tag The purpose of the PERSONAL DANGER TAG system is to inform other people that you are currently working on a piece of equipment and that it is not to be operated or used.

  44. OUT OFSERVICE Do Not Operate Isolation and Lockout- Tags • Procedure for using “OUT OF SERVICE” tags • Anyone can place an OUT OF SERVICE tag on any item of plant that they believe to be faulty. • You must write your name, date, time and a brief description of the fault on the tag in the spaces provided. • OUT OF SERVICE tags can only be removed by the person who effects the repairs, or a Supervisor when they are satisfied that the equipment is safe to use. • If work on an OUT OF SERVICE tagged piece of equipment is incomplete, the tag is to be left on the equipment until repairs are complete. Out of Service Tag Out of Service tagsare used to warn people that a piece of equipment is defective or under isolation , and not to be operated. These tags must never be used instead of personal danger tags for work on isolated equipment

  45. Permits to Work The Permit to Work system is a method for ensuring all the safety controls are identified and authorised for the site prior to commencement of work . Examples of Permits to Work include: • Confined space entry • Isolation permits • Hot work permits, and, • Excavation permits Whenever a permit is required you must ensure that you fully understand and adhere to all the requirements “AT ALL TIMES” If in doubt ask your Supervisor.

  46. Isolation and Lockout Purpose and use of Isolation and Lock Out Isolation is required when work is to be carried out on, within, or near equipment and where energy sources may endanger the safety of personnel • Isolation is designed to stop the operation or the flow of all electricity, liquids or gases to equipment while it is being inspected, cleaned or repaired. • Steam • Thermal • Chemical • Gravity • Energy sources • Electricity • Hydraulic • Pneumatic • Lock out ensures the equipment remains isolated. The Purpose is to Prevent Injuries and Fatalities

  47. Hose couplings are securely clamped and the coupling does not turn around inside the hose. • Rubber Grommet is in place • Hose does not have any holes, cuts, burns or signs of bubbling. Never direct compressed air at the body Compressed Air Safety Compressed air can cause injury including death by entry into the body via a puncture wound. A compressed air line that is not secured with a safety clip can whip around causing injuries such as loss of an eye, fractures and lacerations. Never use compressed for cleaning purposes To Prevent Injury , air hoses should be checked regularly “Ensuring That” • When disconnecting a coupling from a high-pressure hose, ensure the valve is in the “OFF” position and the line has been bled. • All couplings are to be checked prior to using compressed air to ensure the couplings are “safety pinned” to prevent accidental uncoupling.
