What is Take 5? Take 5 is a hazard identification principle that should be used prior to commencing any new, non-routine or hazardous task It can be done formally or informally and is usually performed independently It is designed to ensure that you understand the potential risks associated with a task prior to commencement It is an important aspect of our risk management framework to understand: “What am I doing? What can go wrong? How could it happen? What will do to make it safe?

Risk Management Framework Within the company there are 3 levels of risk management A Take 5 is the basic Level 1 requirement Where risks require further control(s) they can trigger a Level 2 risk management process – Job Safety Analysis or Permit to Work

When should a Take 5 be conducted? Take 5 is a quick and easy checklist & risk assessment process to identify potential hazards associated with a task. It should always been done at the start of the job and should be completed or reviewed when the following applies: The job is new or non-routine Something has changed A job is complex A job has been identified as being hazardous You don’t feel comfortable with the routine task You feel complacent about the task You have not been performed the task for more than a week or you have returned from leave or a period away from work If one of the Company’s Principal Risks is involved in the task When you are working in a new location or an unfamiliar workplace

The Take 5 Booklet The Take 5 booklet contains several important inserts. Please ensure that you complete the following inserts in your own Take 5 booklet.

General Information Inserts The Take 5 booklet contains some general safety information Please familiarise yourself with these key messages

Principal Risk Inserts The Principal Risk inserts contain basic reminders of important requirements around the risks associated with these types of activities which have been identified as being our Principal Risks The Take 5 Checklist question 17 prompts whether these are relevant to the task. Where they are, they should be reviewed prior to commencing the task Please familiarise yourself with these key messages

Principal Risk Contd. Please familiarise yourself with these key messages

Take 5 Process Workflow N Y Carry out Take 5 Pause and Think checklist All in Green boxes? One or more ticks in RED boxes NOTE: If red box for Q17 selected, refer relevant principal hazard cards Is a Permit to Work required? Carry out JSA. Note down the hazards & controls and assess the risk on reverse. Risk LOW? Risk MODERATE or greater? Contact Manager for review and authorisation to proceed or have reviewed by another person Proceed with task Y N Complete appropriate Permit to Work Monitor & Review

Pre-Task Checklist Review Steps 1 – 5 or work through the checklist with another team member, if appropriate Complete the Pause & Think Checklist answering Yes, No or N/A If you answer any of the questions 1 – 16 with a NO (red column) then complete a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) If Yes is selected for question 17, review the appropriate Principal Risk insert. NOTE: You may be required to conduct a Job Safety Analysis as well. If Yes is selected for all questions 1 – 16 and a NO for question 17, proceed safely with task

Pre-Task Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Work through the JSA form listing the logical task/steps, identifying hazards and assessing the risk rating for each step. Nb: You may need to use a page for each step if complex Identify additional controls (Consider the Hierarchy of Controls in slide 18) that can be implemented and assess the residual risk based on the additional controls being in place and effective. If the residual risk is rated Moderate or higher - see your Manager for a review of the JSA and authorisation to proceed with task. WARNING: No task shall proceed that is considered to be HIGH risk

Assessing the Risk Risk = Consequence x Likelihood Consequence = What could happen, how could it happen, what would it mean Likelihood = How likely is it that you or someone else may get hurt

Calculating the Risk Score So if the Consequence (the outcome of something happening) is moderate i.e. a potential Lost Time Injury and the Likelihood (the extent of a set of circumstances being likely to occur) is once every 10 Years the risk score would be M. Nil

During the Task Key considerations during the task: Be aware that when performing a routine task, it is possible to get into an automatic mode of operation. If it is a long routine task, take short regular breaks to re-focus on the job, work environment and related hazards When a job is coming to a conclusion or a natural break i.e. (a meal break) re-focus your effort on what is required to complete the task safely. Do not compromise safety for speed

After the Task After completing the task, observe the work area to determine if you should: Take action to control any hazards that may have been created by the work you have completed. Reflect on how well the job went and the mental planning process you used. Ask yourself; Did you feel safe doing the job? Were others around you working safely? Can any improvements be made for next time? Raise a Yellow Card Hazard Report if you feel any of the above factors were relevant or any other hazards were present.

Completed JSA’S Hand any completed JSA’s to your Manager at the end of your working day Repetitive JSA’s may mean a Standard Operating Procedure should be developed for the task Managers may review JSA’s with workers during workplace Safe Work Observations

Practical Assessment Think of a task you know really well and complete a Take 5 for the task using the Take 5 Pause & Think Checklist Did you answer No (in the red column) for any of the questions 1 – 16? Did you carry out a JSA if you did? (Question 9 of the Take 5 Checklist) If you responded Yes to question 17 – check the applicable Principal Risk insert Did you identify any hazards where you should have had additional controls in place or discussed with your Manager beforehand to seek authorisation to proceed?

Yellow Card Hazard Reports Where a hazard is identified, whether it is corrected or not, all workers shall inform their manager and complete a Yellow Card Hazard Report Document all relevant details Hand a copy to your manager or place in the yellow box provided Your Manager should action as necessary and advise the submitter of the outcome, if any further action is required All reported hazards are to be recorded in Mango by the Administrator If you are a Manager, ensure that feedback is given on hazard report outcomes to the Submitter and others on site
