1. Safety and Security aboard HMAS SIRIUS
Version 0.6 dated 24 May 10

2. Introduction
ASP Ship Management regards the objectives of ensuring the continuing health and safety of all employees, shore contractors and visitors and protection of the environment as paramount. ASP Ship Management is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment. It is the policy of the company to make every reasonable effort to prevent accidents, protect persons from injury and promote the health, safety and welfare of employees and contractors. This booklet forms part of our overall strategy for achieving those objectives.
Contractors are a necessary part of our day-to-day business. It is important that you understand not only our commercial and technical needs as your customers, but that you are also aware of our safety requirements. I ask you to take what we say in this presentation very seriously for unless you do and act accordingly then we cannot continue to do business with you. I have a personal commitment to my staff to provide a safe working environment and contractors who do not assist me in that must bear the consequences.

3. Introduction
I commend this presentation to you and look forward to your adherence to its principles.
Yours sincerely
Robert Bird
Chief Operating Officer - Technical
ASP Ship Management

Introduction
The safety of all personnel working on HMAS SIRIUS is of paramount importance along with the security of the ship
The intent of this presentation is to provide you with the necessary information to be able to work safely onboard HMAS SIRIUS while adhering to security requirements.
A questionnaire based on this presentation must be successfully completed before commencing any work on board the ship.
If you ever require assistance, ask your inductor or your supervisor
Note: Further inductions or information may be provided to you regarding your specific task requirements and other work or transit areas such as Dockyards, Naval Bases etc

5. Duty of Care
Everyone has a legal “Duty of Care” in providing a safe place of work while aboard iaw the Work Health and Safety Act and Regulations. That means that:
All supervisors must ensure a safe system of work exists for their employees prior to commencing a task
All supervisors must ensure that all tasks are properly supervised during the conduct of tasks
All employees must ensure that conduct of their work neither harms nor endangers other individuals or themselves. All employees are obliged to adhere to the safe system of work provided

6. Duty of Care
No statement in this induction shall waive the responsibility of individuals or contractors to comply with relevant legislation
If you cannot work safely, then you don’t work at all!

7. General Ship Safety
HMAS SIRIUS is a fuel carrier and so utmost care must be taken to prevent fires and explosions. For purposes of this explanation, the ship can be considered in two zones, the superstructure (circled below) and the area forward of the superstructure, also known as the “gas envelope”. The gas envelope around where all the fuel is stored is particularly dangerous.

8. General Ship Safety – Gas Envelope
The gas envelope is the area forward of the superstructure, i.e. the area above the cargo tanks. Only intrinsically safe (IS) equipment may be taken into and used in this area.
Intrinsic safety is a design technique applied to electrical equipment and wiring for hazardous locations. The technique is based on limiting energy, electrical and thermal, to a level below that required to ignite a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture.
To be clear, anything that has the potential to cause a spark is not to be taken into the gas envelope.

9. General Ship Safety – Gas Envelope
Although not an exhaustive list, the following examples are not to be taken into the gas envelope unless known to be IS;
Mobile phones
Electrical test equipment
Portable switchboards
Vacuum cleaners
Portable electrical tools and appliances

10. General Ship Safety – Gas Envelope
Although not an exhaustive list, the following examples are never to be taken into the gas envelope;
Cigarette lighters
Any spark or heat source such as grinders, welders, oxy acetylene, needle guns (jason pistols), heat guns etc
Any open flame
Portable engines, including portable generators

11. General Ship Safety
Contractors are not permitted to smoke onboard, not in the superstructure, not forward of the superstructure, not on the quarter deck
No eating, drinking (bottled water excepted), or using the toilets is permitted on board
Irresponsible behaviour will not be tolerated onboard. “Showing off”, acts of bravado or anything else involving risk taking, contrary to safety standards should be stopped immediately and the potential danger of the actions explained
No running

12. General Ship Safety Beware of slip, trip and fall hazards
Beware of low piping and protruding objects when moving about the ship
If there is a lack of lighting below decks - keep to the left to avoid collision
Do not touch ship’s Shore Power Cables unless authorised
Mobile phones may not be carried forward of the superstructure (leave with gangway staff), even when turned off
Electric and electronic equipment may not be operated forward of the superstructure (unless certified as intrinsically safe)
Use two hands when opening/closing hatches and doors

13. General Ship Safety Only follow accepted safe work practices
Prevent your colleagues, both senior and junior to yourself, from acting unsafely or dangerously
Do not take on more than you can handle or take unnecessary risks
Never let the pressure of time tempt you to take chances
Observe all safety warning signs in the areas you are working

14. General Ship Safety
Possession of disposable lighters (BIC) onboard is prohibited
Possession of any cigarette lighters forward of the superstructure is prohibited
Observe all safety signs and directions from Ship Staff and Supervisors
All contractors must be in possession of the Construction Industry White Card (or equivalent)
Females pregnant beyond their first trimester (3 months) are not permitted on Naval vessels without the express permission of the Commanding Officer.
Mobile phones may not be carried forward of the superstructure even when turned off

15. General Ship Safety No alcohol may be consumed on board
No mind altering or otherwise illegal substances may be consumed or taken onto the ship (note that possession of illegal substances may lead to prosecution)
No work is to be conducted while under the influence of any substance (including prescription medication and certain cold and flu medications)
Persons found to be under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs, prescription medication or any mind altering substance, or to be in possession of any of the same, will be removed from the ship immediately and may be handed over to the police

16. Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE)
Helmet (may be removed where head space is restricted)
Long Sleeve Shirt and Trousers (of natural fibre ie “Cotton Drill”)
Steel Capped Footwear; and
Safety Glasses (Clear – below decks and Tinted – above deck)
(Additional PPE may be required for specific tasks – Hearing Protection, Welding Gloves etc)
Slip, Slop, and Slap

17. Hearing Protection
Hearing Protection is to be worn in noise hazard areas, as sign posted or when:
a grinder, needle gun, or similarly noisy equipment is in operation
Hearing Protection is identified as risk mitigation within a Job Safety and Environmental Hazard Analysis
If you are the operator of equipment which constitutes a noise hazard, you must:
Ensure that you inform others in your immediate work area of the potential for noise and the possible need for Hearing Protection
Ensure Hearing Protection PPE is available at all times

18. Security The Main Gangway is the only point of access to the ship
Access Pass (issued after successful completion of this induction a photo identification) is to be placed on the Ship or Contractor Access Board when boarding and removed when disembarking
All visitors or non-inducted persons must be fully escorted at the direction of ships staff or Prime Contractors in extended maintenance periods – if in doubt speak with your supervisor (No Induction = No Work)

19. Security
Restricted areas are not to be entered into without an escort. Authority to enter from Ship’s Staff may be given
The right to search bags can be exercised by Ship’s Staff
Park in designated parking areas as directed
Ship power outlets are not to be used
Cameras/photography is not permitted without express permission of Ship’s Staff
Contractor passes are to be displayed at all times
Do not go into areas you are not authorised to enter
Comply with all ships staff requests

20. Ladder Safety
Ladders can be deceptively dangerous and a slip potentially fatal. Take care when using ship ladders with the following basic rules:
Maintain 3 points of contact with the steps and handrails (ie 1 hand, 2 feet or 2 hands, 1 foot)
Do not carry equipment while using ladders
Do not rush
Take care to maintain your balance

21. The Ship’s Main Evacuation Warning is tested every day
Emergency Procedures
The Ship’s Main Evacuation Warning is tested every day
The following terms are designated as Emergency Pipes and will always be used in multiples of three (example – Fire! Fire! Fire!):
Fire
Flood
Toxic Hazard
Alarm
Emergency Clear Lower Deck
Unless preceded by the term “Exercise”, you must treat each and every Emergency Pipe as an emergency and evacuate the vessel

22. Emergency Procedures on Hearing an Alarm
Stop work
Consider whether your escape route is still safe (your standard escape route is to be determined prior to starting work, during the risk assessment)
Evacuate in a safe, orderly manner, collecting your induction card from the Gangway staff either on leaving the ship or immediately after and proceed to the evacuation assembly point
Leave all doors and hatches as you find them
Do not leave the evacuation area vicinity until your supervisor has accounted for you and informed ASP and ship staff

23. Emergency Procedures on Hearing an Alarm
Only return when directed to do so
If the emergency brow is used at the direction of Ship’s Staff, ensure you collect your pass from the Gangway staff before proceeding to the evacuation assembly point

24. Types of Visual Alarms – General Alarm
A green flashing light in machinery spaces indicates the general alarm. The general alarm is both audible and visual. When flashing, evacuate the ship and go to the Emergency evacuation area immediately

25. Types of Visual Alarms – Hydrogen Sulphide
(H2S, Sewer Gas)
A Yellow flashing light:
Indicates the presence of hydrogen
sulphide (sewer gas)
Note that while this gas initially smells
of rotten eggs, it destroys your sense
of smell and not detecting the odour
of rotten eggs does not mean the gas
is not present.
When flashing, evacuate the ship and go to
the Emergency Evacuation Area immediately

26. Types of Visual Alarms – CO2 and Fire
A Red Flashing Light:
Indicates detection of smoke or fire or the imminent release of CO2
When flashing, evacuate the ship and go to the Emergency Evacuation Area immediately

27. Types of Visual Alarms (Non Emergency)
A Yellow Flashing light:
Indicates one or more of the following, a machinery alarm, telephone is ringing, MCR call/alert or dead man alarm.
No evacuation necessary unless other alarms are in operation or you are directed to evacuate.
Machinery alarm
Telephone alert
ECR call/alert
Dead man alert

28. Working in the Main Engine Room
The fire fighting equipment in the Main Engine Room includes a CO2 dump, which works by starving a fire of oxygen. It will kill any unprotected person left in the compartment when it is released.For this reason, the entrance to the Main Engine Room has a board to record the names of everyone in the compartment at all times:
When entering the Main Engine Room, you must use the whiteboard to indicate that you are entering the compartment. Use full name on whiteboard. No Nick names to be used.
When leaving the Main Engine Room, you must update the whiteboard to indicate that you have left the compartment
If you fail to update the whiteboard on entering and leaving the Main Engine Room, you may hamper effective fighting of a fire and put your life and the lives of others at risk

29. Working in Machinery Compartments
Contractors are only to enter the Main Engine Room and other machinery compartments in order to conduct work in that particular compartment.
Hearing protection (ear muffs) must be worn in the Main Engine Room at all times
Unless absolutely unavoidable, machinery compartments are NOT to be used to transit through to other areas of the ship

30. Emergency Life Support Respiratory Device (ELSRD)
Provides 8 minutes of air
Check your work area for the
location of the nearest device
Turn on air prior to placing hood
over head
Used to exit the ship in cases of
emergency such as smoke or gas
filled compartments
DO NOT use to re-enter a compartment in an attempt to retrieve equipment or personnel

31. Incident Reporting IMMEDIATELY You MUST report ALL incidents such as:
injuries
dangerous occurrences, and
near misses
to your Supervisor / Safety Officer
and the Gangway staff
IMMEDIATELY
“If we report, we can stop another similar incident and prevent an injury”

32. Commencing Work
The contractor shall report to the ASP Chief Engineer or his nominated representative and the nominated ship’s point of contact prior to commencement of and on completion of any work
The contractor shall not commence any work on HMAS SIRIUS until completion of the ASP Induction
All contractors working on HMAS SIRIUS must read and comprehend the safety requirements as noted in this presentation

33. Commencing Work
The contractor will advise the ASP Chief Engineer or his nominated representative the planned number and names of personnel to be onboard during the contracted work period
The contractor is to ensure that his/her personnel are aware of the emergency exits and their location from the spaces in which work is to be undertaken
All contractors must be in possession of the Construction Industry White Card (or equivalent) to gain access to HMAS SIRIUS

34. Job Safety and Environmental Hazards Analysis (JSEHA)
Prior to commencing any work a hazard assessment is to be conducted and a JSEHA completed, approved by the subcontractor’s supervisor, signed by all team members and submitted to ASP for approval
The JSEHA must contain all possible Safety and Environmental hazards and the intended mitigation and / or control for such hazards
The JSEHA and Work Pack (which includes instruction for the task) must be available at the work location
Any significant change in working conditions must be considered in a supplementary risk assessment and the JSEHA amended accordingly

35. Working Permits Work permits are required for the following tasks:
Hot Work, (including welding, burning, and grinding),
Working in a Confined Space, and
Working at Height
The relevant Safety and Health issues pertinent to the work to be carried out shall be discussed with the onsite ASP personnel prior to commencing work
The above topics are now covered in the following slides – if in doubt talk with your supervisor

36. Hot Work
Any Hot Work, including welding, burning, naked lights, and grinding, (any work/equipment which may generate flame, sparks or temperature) must be approved by ship staff and the contractor Fire Protection Officer (FPO), where applicable, with a Permit
24 Hours notice is required prior to work
Only personnel who are authorised, trained and qualified are permitted to perform such work
Correct PPE must be used at all times
The safety of personnel not directly involved must be actively considered in the JSEHA along with the effects of the work on adjacent structure and surrounds with regards to heat transfer, falling slag and sparks etc

37. Hot Work (continued)
A qualified Fire Sentry is required for all surrounding spaces, bilges etc with:
2 suitable fire extinguishers
water bucket
cleaning cloths
squirt bottle
gloves, and
a copy of the permit
A thorough inspection of adjacent compartments at the conclusion of Hot Works is required to ensure no smouldering material is present
A JSEHA and risk assessment must be completed prior to starting any Hot Work

38. Hot Work (continued)
Oxy-acetylene bottles must be fitted with Flashback Arresters, both at the bottle and at the handpiece. When not in use, the bottles are to be isolated and hoses drained. The bottles are to be either stored in the locker provided on the quarterdeck, if space permits, or removed from the ship
(Further assessment may be required by Ship’s Staff to de- conflict any tasks in the immediate areas of Hot Work)

39. Hot Work & Confined Spaces
Welding and hot work should be avoided in confined spaces, but when it is absolutely necessary these additional precautions are to be observed:
Double Tag-Out/Lock-Out procedures must be strictly followed to ensure that gases or flammable liquids cannot transfer to a working space via open pipelines, vent systems, unauthorised valve operation, leaking bulkheads, etc

40. Hot Work & Confined Spaces (continued)
Particular care must be taken to ensure that conditions are safe before a coffee or meal break and are re-checked after the break prior to re-commencing work to ensure that they are still safe
On completion of all hot work in a confined space, all non-intrinsically safe items are to be removed, and only intrinsically safe lighting and communication devices may be used in the confined space

41. Confined Space Activities
All Confined spaces are potentially dangerous.
A confined space is any enclosed or partially enclosed space that has limited means of access and / or egress and / or has the potential for atmospheric change
Ship’s Staff are to conduct initial opening of ALL Confined Spaces including all tanks
Ship’s staff will conduct the first atmosphere test of the tank and provide the initial safe to enter certificate. All subsequent testing and certification must be arranged by the contractor working in the confined space
Advise your supervisor 24 hrs before first entry is required to complete a task in a Confined Space

42. Confined Space Activities – Key Points
Complete the Confined Space Permit, conduct a risk assessment and complete a JSEHA
Obtain confirmation from Ship’s Staff as to the condition of the Confined Space
Only trained and certified personnel to enter confined space. Correct PPE MUST be worn
Confined Space Permit and JSEHA located at the task, including gas free testing results
Confined Space Sentry must be in place prior to entry
Ensure appropriate signage is erected and the area is roped off
Inform Ship’s Staff of the condition of the Confined Space at the end of the task

43. Confined Space Activities
Contractors working in a confined space must have a ‘Confined Space Rescue Plan’ approved by the ASP Chief Engineer or his nominated delegate, and a dedicated Confined Space Rescue Team prior to entry into any confined space
If attempting a rescue in a confined space, that space shall not be entered without breathing apparatus. There is a possibility that the rescuer will be similarly overcome and also require rescuing, particularly if the cause of injury is not immediately apparent or the accident was not observed.

44. Confined Space Activities
Remember: Do not put yourself in danger by entering a space to rescue another person – get help, wear a breathing apparatus and where possible, work in pairs
Entry into a space by the Sentry is only permissible after a relief is stationed and approval given by the Engineering Officer or his Representative

45. A typical RADHAZ Warning Sign
RADHAZ Warning Signs
RADHAZ areas are marked with broad Red lines with red arrows pointing to the radiation hazard
A typical RADHAZ Warning Sign

46. Radiation Hazard (RADHAZ)
Each person working in a RADHAZ zone, including crane lifts/jibbing or travelling on or above 01 deck, boat decks (including boat davits) & masts MUST contact the OOD (via the gangway staff), before commencing work/activity and gain permission to work in the RADHAZ area
Each person proceeding aloft must sign in and out of the Working Aloft Register at the gangway each and every time, including meal breaks, toilet breaks, etc, when proceeding anywhere above 01 deck. The OOD must sign approval each and every time and the OOD is to be informed when all work aloft is complete

47. RADHAZ (Cont)
When working aloft, barricade areas below, provide a sentry, and sign post.
The RADHAZ keyboard is located at the gangway. All contractors should satisfy themselves, with the help of the gangway staff/OOD, the RADHAZ keyboard is correct before proceeding aloft.
A RADHAZ Burn is deep and very painful

48. Working at Height (WAH)
Qualified persons and certified equipment (fall arrest harness) are to be used at all times.
A sentry is essential when working within the ship mast areas
A JSEHA for the task is to be completed before going aloft
In addition to the JSEHA, a specific Working at Height Risk Assessment (Defence form AE301) is to be completed and passed to ASP and ship staff for review
The Working Aloft Register is to be signed by each person going aloft – before and after any work
All tools and equipment used at height must be secured to lanyards
DO NOT lean on hand or guard rails

49. Working at Height (Continued)
Barricade or cover all open penetrations with approved material to reduce the risk of a fall from one level to another
Ladders must be in a serviceable condition and securely fastened in place

50. Isolations (Electrical / Mechanical / Hydraulic / Air)
All isolations must be carried out by ship staff.
Isolations MUST be completed in accordance with your Work Instruction / Risk Assessment
Dual Tagging procedures apply – both the Contractor and ship staff are to place their own tag and the Danger Tag Log is to be completed by both
All contractors must always confirm isolations with Ship’s Staff prior to commencing work (noting that all equipment may be locked out)
ASP

51. Isolations (Electrical / Mechanical / Hydraulic / Air) - continued
Ensure a physical measurement of ‘NO VOLTS’ is present for all electrical isolations
Details required on the isolation include Job Number, Contractor Reference Number, Ship’s Reference Number, Equipment Type and Person in Control of Tag
All isolation requests must go through your supervisor and be performed together with Ship’s Staff
ASP

52. Electrical Safety
The dangers arising from the misuse of electrical equipment are well known. Electrical shock and fire can cause loss of life, damage to equipment and ultimately, loss of the vessel.
Before undertaking any electrical maintenance work, the following precautions must be taken
Remove rings, wrist watches, necklaces etc
Where practical, always work on a dry insulating surface
Safety boots without metal studs or rivets must be worn. Where practical, overalls should be dry and insulating gloves worn.
Ensure your working position is safe and secure to avoid FATAL contact with live conductors

53. Electrical Safety - Continued
Beware of alternate or auxiliary supplies
IF IN ANY DOUBT, check with the ships nominated point of contact or the Engineering Officer
All Power Equipment must have a current Test and Tag certification
Check all electrical equipment before use
Elevate all cables where possible, use plastic hooks etc
Avoid running cables and services through Doors and Hatches
Remove leads from Work Areas and Watertight Hatches daily

54. Electrical Safety - Continued
OOD permission is required to run leads through Watertight hatches
DO NOT use electrical equipment near wet surfaces
IF IN ANY DOUBT, check with the ships nominated point of contact or the Engineering Officer
Follow Double Tag-Out procedures

55. Electrical Safety – Live Equipment
Where possible, contractors are to avoid working on LIVE electrical equipment. However, if this is deemed necessary, the ASP Chief Engineer and ship’s Engineering Officer must be informed and a risk analysis of the intended work shall be completed. The ASP Chief Engineer’s permission must be given before any such work is undertaken.
If working on live equipment is necessary, including testing and fault finding and low voltage circuitry, a permit called AE154 is to be filled out in conjunction with ships staff.

56. Electrical Safety – Live Equipment Continued
The following additional precautions must be implemented:
NEVER WORK ON LIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT UNLESS A SECOND PERSON IS PRESENT. The second person (sentry) must know where to isolate the circuit and how to treat for electrical shock.
Minimise risk of hand-to-hand shock by keeping one hand in your pocket whenever practicable
Use only the correct test equipment and insulated tools
Remove and replace equipment covers whilst the apparatus is switched off. Serious accidents have occurred when a cover has dropped on the “live” conductors

57. Electrical Safety RCD protection
All ship fitted 220V AC outlets onboard are RCD protected, however, the preferred method of powering electrical tools, equipment etc is by use of the 240V AC Power Boxes provided by ASP.
The power boxes contain three 32 AMP 3 Pin RCD protected outlets and one 32 AMP 3 Pin non-protected outlet
Ship 220V power outlets should only be used as a last resort with prior permission from ship staff
If in doubt, ask

58. Portable Tools
All tools and equipment, (electric, pneumatic, hydraulic etc) used by contractors, including extension leads, hoses, adapters etc. are to be maintained in a safe working condition in accordance with the manufacturers recommended procedures.
Compressed Air is available throughout the ship and pneumatic tools are the preferred power tool for use onboard.

59. Double Tag-Out Procedure
Tag-out procedures apply to all work undertaken on machinery, electrical circuits or gas, air, water, hydraulic, fuel oil, lube oil and refrigerant systems where the inadvertent activation of any apparatus or system could endanger those people working on them
It is the contractor’s responsibility to fasten a uniquely identified “danger tag” to the main isolating switch, control device or valve of any system contract personnel are to work on, if there is any possibility that contract personnel may be injured if someone were to activate the system. Any system isolated by a contractor must also have a “danger tag” placed by ship’s staff. Details of both tags are to be entered in the ship’s tag-out log and signed appropriately before any work commences

60. Double Tag-Out Procedure - Continued
The contractor’s “danger tag” must be clearly marked with the name and contact number of the responsible person (either the worker or supervisor or both) along with the date, time and reason that the isolation was carried out. The ship’s “danger tag” will similarly be marked with the name and contact details of a representative who can remove it.
NO-ONE is to remove a tag marked with another person’s name. In the event that the responsible person named on the tag is completely unavailable, then a supervisor representing the contractor together with the ship’s EO and the ASP Chief Engineer may remove the tag only after personally investigating the situation and ensuring that it is safe to do so.

61. Double Tag-Out Procedure - Continued
If two or more tasks require isolation of the same system then a separate danger tag must be placed on the isolating switch, valve, etc for each task and marked accordingly
It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure the isolating switch, control device, valve, etc is the correct one to be tagged-out. If there is any doubt whatsoever, ask the ship’s nominated point of contact
ALWAYS TEST BEFORE YOU TOUCH.

62. Scaffolding
Erected / dismantled / modified only by those who hold the appropriate Certificate of Competency
Must be erected in accordance with the SCAFFTAG system and the relevant Australian Standard (AS)
Must not be used until a green SCAFTAG is in place
Must be inspected by a scaffolder, signed, and dated, within a 4 week period or if the working conditions are altered
If the scaffold is tagged ‘not to be used’ – don’t!

63. Barricading work areas
A barricade is put in place to restrict access to a potentially hazardous area
Any person undertaking hazardous activities which may impact upon other workers must barricade the work area:
Use warning signs, sentries, screens, close off compartments etc for welding, burning, needle gunning, grinding, painting etc
Notify your supervisor & OOD when barricading areas
Ensure Contact details / Point of Contact is placed on the barricade i.e. mobile phone number, Ship extension number etc
NEVER BREACH A BARRICADE

64. Hazardous Substances
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be available for all hazardous substances being used (copies with the JHA)
All Hazardous Substances must be logged in Hazard Log Book located at the Gangway
Only minimal quantities of Hazardous Substances are to be taken on board and must be clearly labelled
Lids must be secured whilst being carried on board and when not in use
Remove all Hazardous Substances from the ship when you disembark
All Hazardous Substances must be stored & disposed of according to statutory and environmental requirements

65. High Risk Work
NO High Risk Work, as defined in the Work Health and Safety Act and Regulations 2011, is to be conducted by Contractor personnel who do not hold the appropriate license for conducting such work
High Risk Work includes, but is not limited to: scaffolding, crane operations, (including rigging and dogging), crane and hoist operating, fork lift operating and work with pressure equipment
Diving operations are only to be carried by personnel with the appropriate diving qualifications

66. Cranes/Mobile Plant/Lifting Equipment
Must only be operated by authorised, trained and competent persons
Restrict access to the lift area by barricading and erecting signage
The Dogman controls the lift area - obey their instructions!!
Clear area of personnel before lifting
Never give anyone a lift on plant or equipment
Crane bookings require 24 hours notice
Plant/Lifting equipment and lifting tackle must be certified
A risk assessment is to be conducted and a JSEHA completed prior to any lift
Safety helmets must be worn at all times during crane ops
Radiation Hazards may impact on a lift – Check first!

67. ZINC CHROMATE
ALL Zinc Chromate Paint removal must be performed by authorised contractor / personnel
Paint removal includes grinding, cutting, scraping, needle gunning, paint stripper application etc
Tested negative
Tested Positive

68. Manual Handling
Many serious, painful and long lasting injuries occur when moving material, equipment etc.
However, the risk of injury can be significantly reduced if we observe some basic rules:
Check the lift first
If the load is too heavy, get help
Where possible use mechanical equipment
When lifting, face load, keep back straight and lift with legs - not your back
Never twist when lifting
When lifting overhead, do not overreach. Lift to a platform, reposition then lift further; and
When group lifting, nominate someone to “direct” the lift and ensure the area is clear of obstructions.

69. First Aid Seek immediate first aid
First Aid Box – Located within the ship and ASP Site Hut
First Aid requirements should be detailed within the task’s Job Hazard Analysis
