ASPEC Damaging Energies New Staff Induction What is this course about? This course is designed to talk through the major damaging energies on site. It will describe the procedures that ASPEC will follow to protect against those energies. You will cover the following topics: Working at heights Confin Driving Travel to site Fatigue By the end of this module, you will understand the concept of damaging energies and have the knowledge of correct behaviours on site.

Introduction to injury New Staff Induction Injury types Employment injuries (damage) can be placed in one of three groups: 1.Workplace injuries – resulting from incidents in the course of a worker’s employment 2.Non-workplace injuries – resulting from injuries occurring away from the workplace but where the person is considered to be on duty e.g. commuting 3.Occupational diseases – contracted or aggravated where employment was a contributing factor. Risk of Injury The concept of risk is very complex. The perception of risk varies not only between individuals, but between industries and countries Objectives of Risk Assessment Risk assessment aims to assist in effective management of risks, by identifying: which risks are most in need of reduction, and the options for achieving that risk reduction, which risks which need careful on-going management, and the nature of that on-going Attention The goal of organisations is for all employees to work in a safe and healthy environment and remain free from injury and disease. To achieve this goal in the hazardous environment, the company must therefore put into effect measures to actively reduce the incidence of permanent personal damage. To do this effectively requires a strategic risk reduction program. Because risk is so difficult to quantify, we should make our focus less on “How likely is it?” and more on “what can go wrong?” and “What are the Consequences?” There are various ways in which the essential requirements for effective management of risks can be defined. One such structure is that defined by Hawksley2 initially for hazardous chemical plants but since adapted and used in many fields involving heavy industrial and other activity. Suitably adapted for the mining industry, they are: 1. The hazards (i.e. the potential for different types of accident) must be understood by everyone involved, including an understanding of how the accidents may arise, how serious they could be, and the nature of the preventive and protective “barriers”. 2. The appropriate facilities, machinery and equipment must be provided to match the hazards. 3. The appropriate systems and procedures must exist to match the hazards and the facilities, machinery and equipment. These systems fall into several classes: those for operating to high standards, including selecting, operating and maintaining equipment correctly; those for monitoring performance, including supervising and managing the performance of machinery and people; those for progressing improvements; those for auditing the systems for monitoring, supervising and managing the operations, and for progressing improvements. 4. The appropriate organisation should be provided, with appropriate staffing levels, communication systems and training. 5. There should be a high level of emergency preparedness, including means of detecting the onset of an emergency early and responding to it effectively and promptly. 6. Safety and risk management must be actively and visibly promoted by management.

Fundamentals of project management New Staff Induction Project Tasks and resources Each Definition of the strategic context entails consideration of the external pressures influencing the selection or design of equipment. Because of the economies of scale, much mining equipment is physically large. Some of this equipment, because of its size, poses special risks. For example, maintenance of large earthmoving equipment may necessitate manual handling of heavy and bulky components in congested and confined spaces, such that injury to the tradesman is just a matter of time. Some equipment, because of where and how it is designed to be used, necessarily exposes those operating it to substantial risks. In some industries, statutory pressures (e.g. on noise) have led the industries to set specifications in supply contracts which have forced suppliers to improve their designs. It is conceivable that the mining industry, by undertaking risk assessments of commonly used machinery and equipment, could provide the incentive for suppliers to improve the designs of their equipment such that safety is given priority along with productivity. The external statutory pressures to improve the safety of machinery and equipment, and the opportunities which collaborative working within the industry, both should be considered at this stage.
