25 CORRECT Next Section

26 Approach to Health & Safety Health & Safety responsibilities come first and ALWAYS  Incidents are preventable and Zero Harm is attainable.  There's no room for compromise.  It's not about stats; it's about people NOT getting hurt. To ensure a safe working environment at all times, we need to:  Minimise worker exposure to hazards.  Reduce the likelihood of an incident occurring.  Minimise the consequences if an incident does occur.

27 Our Risk Management Approach COMPRISES:  Legal Compliance Matrix  Project/Construction Risk Assessment Workshops  Project HSE Plans, Risk Register, JHA’s and Take 5’s  Incident Reports  Audits and Workplace Inspections  Regular WHASET evaluation  Daily observations by the Project Manager/HSE Coordinator  Training = inductions, specific skills and on-the-job familiarisation  High standards of communication/consultation.

28 Hazard Identification We identify hazards through our:  Project Risk Assessments  Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)  Take 5’s  SDS’s  Workplace Inspections/Auditing  Hazard/Incident Reporting & Investigation  Injury/Illness Reporting and Statistical Analysis

29 Risk Assessment We consider what could happen if someone is exposed to a hazard and the likelihood of it happening:  How severe is the risk?  Are existing controls enough?  What action is needed/when? Some type of risk analysis is performed before every job, depending on the type of hazards and extent of the job.

30 Hazard Control  Elimination of risks is preferred.  Minimising is next (or combination).  The greater the risk, the greater the level of control.  Worker involvement helps choose the best control measures and increases the level of acceptance of change.  The Project Manager/HSE Coordinator ensures hazard control measures are properly implemented.

31 Hierarchy of Controls 1.Eliminate – remove hazard from workplace, task or process 2.Substitute – replace activity with a less hazardous one 3.Engineer – isolate using barriers, ventilation, space etc. 4.Administrate – establish procedures/training to reduce risk. 5.PPE – provide suitable PPE to protect people from hazards. Persist until the best method of control is available.

32 Project Risk Assessments (PRA) Internal risk management meetings for each project held to:  Determine the hazards and risks and controls needed.  Include these in the HSE Plan, Risk Register and JHA.  Set objectives and targets.  Complete the required paperwork.  Plan and decide the resources required.  Select sub-contractors.

33 Construction Risk Assessment Workshops  When we’re Head Contractor we consult on risk management with all stakeholders involved in the project in a CRAW.  This includes clients/engineers/designers/contractors/suppliers.  The aim is to develop relationships and co-ordinate activities.

34 Project HSE Plan Prepared for major/strategic projects, they include:  An introduction, including our OHS Policy.  Key project information and legal requirements.  Our risk management process.  Planned emergency and incident response.  Inductions and training.  Site safety procedures.

35 Legal Compliance Matrix  This document lists the Federal/State OHS/EMS legislation/Code of Practice applying to each activity we undertake.  It shows how we comply with each responsibility and monitor compliance.  It’s also cross referenced to our Risk Register for ease of access to the laws that affect us.

36 Risk Register  Identifying all risks workers may face is crucial.  We do this through a Register of all identified risks.  Each risk is analysed and rated by the likelihood of it occurring and the impact it would have if it did.  It also shows responses needed and who monitors the risk.  It’s a comprehensive document.

37 Project Risk Register  Each project has it’s own Risk Register.  It’s a ‘cut and paste’ of the main Risk Register.  The work team identify the major risks for the project In a Project Risk Assessment meeting.  Prior to project start, the Project Manager creates the Project Risk Register from the main Risk Register.  This register covers risk likelihood and consequences.  It’s included in the Job Pack for every major project.

38 JHA’s JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS (JHA) = JSA/SWMS A JHA means looking at any work job/project before starting it and finding the safest way to complete it. It’s how we become aware of the hazards involved in doing a job and taking action to prevent injury. It ‘s essential you understand the requirements of the JHA and participate in the process. JHA’s are required for all our Sites. The JHA must be fully completed/signed by the Team doing the job BEFORE STARTING.

39 Take 5’s  Each time you start a different task you do a Take 5.  Assess and discuss the possible hazards with your supervisor prior to commencing the task.  Before starting work, ask – “What if this goes wrong? Could someone be injured or equipment damaged?  Your good work with Take 5’s can mean preventive /corrective action is done, making for a safer workplace.

40 Your Duty of Care EVERY WORKER MUST:  Take good care to ensure your safety as well as others.  Manage risks and prevent injuries, illnesses and incidents.  Report any hazards, incidents and injuries.  Use PPE provided.  Comply with all instructions and work safely.  If you don’t feel safe discuss it with your supervisor. Safety is the most important issue at Spannas Engineering

41 Housekeeping Many injuries are caused by slips, trips and falls as a result of poor housekeeping. All employees are required to:  Maintain their work area in a clean and safe state.  Ensure vehicle cleanliness is high standard at all times.  Dispose of scrap materials and rubbish in the bins provided.  Report any problems/hazards to your supervisor. DON’T LEAVE RUBBISH, MATERIALS OR TOOLS LYING AROUND! THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES, THINK TIDY, THINK SAFE

51 Our Environmental Policy A healthy work environment is an integral part of our operations, contributing significantly to business success. This goes beyond complying with relevant legislation: we’re committed to protecting the environment with zero incidents.

52 Our Environmental Aims Our EMS has a structured approach to implementing protection measures into our daily operations. This helps us to:  Display environmental leadership.  Preserve ecosystems.  Develop organisational accountability.  Educate for change.

53 Environmental Benefits The EMS assists us to:  Minimise environmental liabilities.  Ensure performance is within regulations.  Maximise the efficient use of resources.  Reduce waste.  Gain a better understanding of environmental incidents.  Build worker awareness of environmental concerns.  Demonstrate a good corporate image.

54 Environmental Hazards  Eliminating environmental damage is critical.  Spilt/leaking oil, fuel or chemicals may pose a threat to flora and fauna and to waterways.  Incorrect waste disposal has a similar effect.  There are so many other ways to damage the environment through dust/noise emissions, soil erosion, spreading dieback, fire etc.  Not to mention damage to heritage sites.  Once started you need to read our procedures to be aware of what you need to do to help.

55 Saving the Environment Treat spills/leaks on site as you would in the workshop – use spill kits or safely remove and dispose of contaminated soil. Better still, take action to avoid spills/leaks by:  Storing contaminants properly in secure areas.  Ensuring oil drums have protective trays.  Not refueling within 50 metres of waterways.  Use Safety Data Sheets for all chemical use.

56 Waste Management If you litter you may pollute the land or waterways You might destroy vegetation or wildlife You’ll contribute to an unsatisfactory work environment Don’t be uncaring, always:  Separate non-toxic from toxic  Dispose of toxic according to the SDS  Place non-toxic litter/waste in designated bins  Recycle, recycle, recycle wherever possible.

57 Of the many ways you can help avoid spills/leaks, what is the least likely on-the-job requirement ? Always refuel at a service station Concentrate on what you’re doing Use protective trays Don’t refuel near waterways

60 Site Security When we’re the Head Contractor we always ensure:  Proper risk management through our Project HSE Plan, Risk Register, JHA’s and Take 5’s.  Inductions for workers/visitors, including in emergency response.  Safe access for visitors (with escort) and workers.  Provision of adequate reporting areas and entry authorisation.  Restriction of visitors from all high hazard areas.  A site security plan is established before the project begins.

61 Traffic Management It’s a high-risk activity.  Traffic management plans/controls are established in the project risk assessment process.  Safe, smooth interaction of traffic and pedestrians is vital.  Considered width of the road, traffic density, % of heavy vehicles, terrain and environmental factors (wet conditions, poor visibility and darkness), site access/emergency procedures. The Project Manager ensures workers responsible for implementing traffic management are suitably licensed and trained.

62 First Aid  First Aid kits are signposted at each work location.  First Aid officer names are posted on notice boards.  All injuries and incidents must be reported immediately to your supervisor.  Please notify the Office when items are low.  Please familiarise yourself with the location of first aid kits.

63 Personal Protective Equipment PPE is supplied by us. Mandatory PPE on site includes:  Approved safety glasses  Safety helmet  Safety boots in good condition (no steel caps exposed)  Hi-viz long sleeved shirt and long pants Minimum PPE requirements in the workshop/yard areas are:  Safety footwear, eye protection, hearing protection and full cover Hi-viz clothing  Additional PPE such as gloves/hard hats are available.

64 PPE - it’s provided for a reason Eye Protection Safety glasses are to be worn everywhere on site and in workshops. Clear safety glasses are to be worn in poor light.  Safety Glasses/mono-goggles and face shields must be worn when grinding.  Mono-goggles should be worn whenever conditions are dusty. Hearing Protection Must be worn in designated areas or when noise requires a person to raise their voice to be heard from 2 metres away. Hand Protection Must be worn when handling chemicals or when the task presents a risk of hand or skin injury.

65 Major Hazards Our major hazards are detailed in our Risk Register (SEF005). They’re also detected through the Project HSE Plan, Project Risk Register & JHA. Hazard identification, risk assessment and controls for each hazard are raised and discussed at CRAWs before project start.

66 Hazards Some major hazards you may encounter when working in our industry are: Mobile plant Guarding Fatigue Manual Handling (lifting) Young and New Workers Electricity Working at Heights Hazardous Substances/Chemicals Slips and Trips Snakes and Spiders

67 Electrical Equipment Electrical hazards exist in every workplace. The smallest mistake can be fatal.  All electrical equipment MUST be visually checked before each use.  If electrical equipment is defective you must remove it from service, record and tag it “Out of Service” until it’s repaired.  All electrical equipment is re-inspected/tagged at regular intervals to fit the environment in which it will be used.  Portable RCDs/those on generators MUST be checked by operating the built in test button daily or before use; whichever is first. Out of Service tag

68 Electrical Equipment (Cont’d) We always use RCD’s to minimise the risk of electric shock. Equipment used in non-hostile operating environments is not tagged but visually inspected for damage prior to use. Hostile operating conditions could result in damage to the equipment or a reduction in expected life span. This includes physical abuse, exposure to moisture, heat, vibration, chemical damage and other harsh conditions. Visual inspection tags are applied to new electrical equipment in hostile areas prior to initial use. Regular electrical testing/tagging using coloured tags for the year of testing are performed by an authorised person in accordance with AS/NZS 3760.

69 Mobile Plant & Equipment  You must hold a current licence/ticket to operate any plant /vehicle. Don’t operate any equipment until you have attended an awareness session and read the relevant Work Instructions.  Please immediately report any damage to your supervisor.  Speed limit at Dillon Rd site is strictly 10kms per hour  Abide by the speed limit within any Site – it’s set for a reason!  Each item of mobile plant/equipment has daily pre-starts performed as defined within original manufacturer manuals.

70 Mobile Plant & Equipment (Cont’d)  Risk assessments are done on all plant/equipment to identify OHS risks.  All items are regular inspected/maintained.  The risk of contact with mobile plant is minimised through physical barriers and the installation of audible reversing alarms and flashing lights where required.  The effectiveness of warning devices is checked as part of each pre-start.  Risk assessments also determine the need for ROPS/FOPS and seat belts.  Plant is inspected before use to ensure ROPS/FOPS and seatbelts are effective.  All plant and equipment is closely checked on return from each job, and any concerns are fixed before re-use.

71 Trenching & Excavations Safety in/around excavations is a key consideration in our project risk assessments. Control measures are implemented and all workers made aware of them in Pre-Start meetings. Risks assessed include: Unplanned contact with utility services. The instability of the excavation or adjoining structure. Fall or dislodgement of earth and rock. The inrush or seepage of water. Falls into excavations. Positioning and movement of mobile plant and equipment. Unsafe means of access and insufficient means of escape in an emergency. A hazardous atmosphere (confined spaces).

72 Trenching & Excavation Access/Egress Access to surfaces > metre deep is by ladders/stairways/ramps. Secure footing is provided with loose stones/large rocks removed. Normal access routes used allow workers to pass without the risk of collision or being hit by falling objects. Where the excavation or trench is heavily shored and head room is limited, access only is along well defined routes. Self-supporting barriers are installed around the perimeter. In the case of really deep trenches, hoardings may be used. Project risk assessments control the risk of falling into an excavation.

73 Trenching & Excavations – Underground Services Our project risk assessments locate underground services before work starts. Services include telecommunication cables, drainage pipes, soakwells, fuel lines and underground storage tanks as well as electricity, gas, water and sewerage. The location of underground services is identified by contacting “Dial before you Dig” or by using ‘as built‘ drawings on private land. All digging to locate an underground service is carefully done by hand, approaching the service from the side. In case of an emergency arising from damage, workers refer to the JHA for emergency telephone numbers etc.

74 Trenching & Excavations - Shoring We ensure an excavation is shored, bench or battered to prevent it from collapsing. Shoring is not done where the excavation has been professionally assessed to be self- supporting because of the angle/stability of the sides. In assessing risks, we consider:  The type of work being performed.  Nature of the ground.  Water controls.  Proximity of underground services.  Point sources of instability.  Static and dynamic loads near an excavation including ground vibration from heavy traffic, trains, machinery, nearby construction works and explosives.  The stability of adjoining structures endangered by operations is inspected daily.

75 Trenching & Excavations – Mobile Plant  Our project risk assessment identify risks with mobile plant All risks are professionally assessed before any work starts.  Traffic and pedestrian movement is controlled as part of the site traffic movement plan. Signs/physical barriers are erected to prevent mobile plant entry into open excavations.  An effective two way communication system is established before work starts.  All operators and workers wear Hi-Viz PPE.  All mobile plant operating nearby is equipped with reversing alarms and revolving lights.  The Project Manager checks each day that drivers are operating safely and they do not encroach too close to excavations.

76 Trenching & Excavations – Flood Risk Risk assessments consider the likelihood/consequence of water seeping into the excavation from high water tables, storm water drains, heavy rains or from a swamp, dam, lake or river. Water control may involve the simple use of sludge pumps or dewatering systems to pump water out and lower the water table. Assistance is sought from accredited contractors where excavations near bodies of water are lower than the water level.

77 Trenching & Excavations – Inspections Inspections are made daily by the Project Manager who looks for:  Tension cracks, sloughing or undercutting.  Water seepage.  Bulging or anything else unusual like the size, location or placement of the spoil heap.  Indication of movement in an adjacent structure. Where inspections reveal hazards, workers are immediately evacuated until precautions are taken.

78 Trenching & Excavations - Emergencies  Emergencies that could happen include flooding, contact with services, excavation collapse, fall from height, confined space retrieval or mobile plant rollover.  When an emergency occurs, only rescue traffic is permitted in the area and all access ways are cleared immediately.  Open excavations have a red spare ladder reserved for emergency use.  Emergency rescue equipment is provided. Workers are trained in their use and to be aware of emergency procedures.  The Project Manager maintains a daily diary to record notable events (e.g. incidents), observations, mistakes and ideas for improvement.

83 CORRECT Next Section

84 Overhead Power Lines Contact with live overhead power lines kills and causes serious injuries every year. Project risk assessments identify the controls needed to avoid contact:  Electrical and service exclusion zones are maintained.  Service detection reports/diagrams showing locations and depths are identified and marked on site maps.  Signs are erected to warn workers of overhead services. Physical barriers are also installed.  Danger zones are identified to all workers.

85 Working at Heights - Controls Falling from a height is a serious risk and eliminated wherever practical.  We use fixed platforms/edge protection/EWP before fall arrest/restraint systems.  Each employee working at heights is trained and possesses a current certificate.  All areas where there is a risk of a person falling > 2metres are identified and controlled with the hierarchy of control. Control measures include:  Guardrails, handrails, edge protection.  Specialist sub-contractors to perform majority of work.  Mobile platforms.  Scaffolding and ladders.  Elevated work platforms.

86 Working at Heights – Access/Egress Through our risk assessment process we ensure there is acceptable access and egress from work areas at height in accordance with the hierarchy of controls through:  Temporary walkways and stairs.  Access ladders extend 1m past platforms, tied off, positioned on a 1:4 pitch.  Stairs are installed where materials are required to be carried.  Access and egress on the site is regularly inspected.  Housekeeping standards are strict.  Minimal exposure to the weather.  The provision of adequate natural or artificial lighting to all access ways. Other than platform ladders with edge protection, we prefer to use work platforms.

87 Working at Heights - Scaffolds  Depending on legal requirements, either a competent designer prepares a Scaffold Plan or a risk assessment is done to see if we need one.  The design registration is approved by the relevant State regulatory authorities and obtained prior to erection.  A designer safety report specifies design hazards.  All scaffolds are erected by suitably qualified contractors in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Inspection records checking the scaffold are completed and retained.  The contractor provides a handover certificate prior to use which is verified prior to workers being authorised to enter the scaffold.  The certificate is signed off by the erector as appropriate to the type and nature of the scaffold and displayed prominently at entry to the scaffold.

88 Working at Heights - Various  Falling object risks are controlled through the hierarchy of controls.  We use ‘No Go’ zones with clear signs and barriers to minimise risks.  Wearing of a safety harness as a primary means of fall protection is a last resort.  Anchor points are designed/certified/installed by qualified persons. The relevant JHA’s address emergency procedures including the: Likely working at height areas. Action to be taken after an arrested fall has occurred. Rescue equipment available and who to contact. Specific actions to be taken if a person is suspended under fall arrest.

89 Working at Heights - Inspections Temporary structures are professionally inspected prior to access and regularly. Any concerns are immediately resolved with the Contractor. Inspections are very comprehensive, with the major items inspected being: Potential to slip where surfaces are sloped, wet, polished or glazed. The strength or capability to support loads. The stability of temporary or permanent structures. Entry and exit from the working area. Holes, openings or excavations which require guarding. Protection for open edges of floors, working platforms, walkways.

90 Confined Spaces Confined space work is performed by specialist contractors. We look to eliminate the need to enter a confined space and the risk of inadvertent entry. Warning signs and barriers are erected. No one enters without an entry permit. Contractors regularly conduct atmospheric testing and monitoring. If the levels aren’t safe, no one enters unless they’re equipped with suitable PPE. Emergency procedures are developed to address all concerns. Appropriate PPE is selected and maintained throughout the project.

91 Manual Handling & Lifting  Inspect the load for weight/size, look for rough/sharp edges.  Think the job through, plan each step you need to take.  Clear your path of objects and other people.  When it comes to lifting, your EGO may be the biggest hazard.  Get help if you can’t safely do the job. Use mechanical equipment or devices to avoid a busted pooper valve!  When lifting an object - stand close to the load, get a firm grip, lift by using your legs and keep your back straight.

92 Lifting Equipment  All lifting chains/slings/wire ropes/shackles/hooks used have a current test certificate.  All lifting equipment is marked with the manufacturer’s identification, safe workload and the grade of steel or alloy.  All lifting gear is inspected prior to each use for any defects by a person who holds a current Dogging certificate.  Only employees currently qualified in Dogging are permitted to determine the type of slings to be used and the method of slinging any load.

93 Noise Control Given the nature of our work, excessive noise is not normally an issue for us. Employees working in areas of risk are tested prior to start and at 5 yearly intervals. Noise mapping is conducted quarterly or instantaneously for ad hoc tasks using an I-Phone App. Our workplace inspections and daily site supervisor/worker observations helps locate noise source/cause. Using a ‘rule of thumb’, if we raise our voice to communicate with someone a metre away the noise is likely to be hazardous.

94 Working Over Water  Project risk assessments identify areas with drowning or water pollution risks.  Monthly workplace inspections assist to ensure the ongoing monitoring of water hazards during the project.  Emergency rescue procedures are developed to control the risks involved, with an emergency plan established.  Appropriate PPE is in place to reduce the level of risk and exposure to an acceptable level. This includes flotation devices, lifelines and fall restraint.

95 Our control measures for working at heights doesn’t include one of these options. Gravity gloves Elevated Work Platforms Guardrails/edge protection Scaffolding and Ladders

98 Extreme Weather Risk assessments help determine how serious weather problems could be. Some possible effects from exposure include fatigue, sweating, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shivering, hypo/hyperthermia, slurred speech, and collapse. We need to identify the: Source of heat or cold, air temperature, air movement and humidity. Past experience issues. Nature of work undertaken and level of work activity. Physical condition and capability of the worker. Duration of exposure to heat or cold. PPE. Levels of fluid loss and replacement.

99 Working in Hot Weather COMMON SENSE, NOT EGO Working in hot, humid conditions or in confined spaces, especially during the summer months may expose people to 'heat stress' as well as the sun’s rays. The effects of heat stress range from simple discomfort, heat cramps, heat exhaustion to life threatening illnesses such as heat stroke. Stay in natural shade as much as possible Where possible move the job to a shaded area Properly apply minimum 30/50+ sunscreen Use wide brims on helmets Maintain intake of fluids and always hydrate Avoid caffeine containing drinks like coffee, tea and soft drink s

100 Demolition Sometimes we’re involved in demolition. A demolition plan is established in accordance with the hierarchy of controls, legislation and standards. The plan determines the appropriate risk controls and the level of protective structures to be installed. Hoarding and overhead protective structures are vital to protect people, especially where the demolition adjoins a public area. A registered engineer designs and certifies that the overhead protective structure conforms to relevant loading requirements.

101 Diving  Diving JHA’s are established to identify, assess and control risks.  The nature of work, contingencies and divers’ competency are considered.  Diving hazards include hyperbaric and physiological factors, marine animals, shipping movements, water inlets, use of hazardous materials or explosives, entrapment, entanglement with moving parts and falling objects.  An emergency response plan is established. Emergency gear includes first aid, oxygen, rescue boards, flotation devices and ropes.  Specific PPE/protection is available and worn.  The continual monitoring of risks associated with diving works is conducted through inspections, Take 5’s and Pre-Start discussions.  Weather, water and tide conditions are reviewed prior to dive work and monitored throughout the dive.

102 Dangerous Goods/Hazardous Substances A “Hazardous Substance” is defined as any substance (liquids, gases, powders, fibres, chemicals) which can be inhaled, ingested, or come in contact with the skin or eyes and can cause harm by way of its properties or has the potential to damage the environment. Copies of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all hazardous materials are available on all sites. SDS provide the information needed to make sure hazardous substances can be safely used at work. Information within the SDS Register is used to identify any potential hazards that may arise from use, controls, storage of these chemicals.

103 Hazardous Substances There are only a small number of chemicals at our sites. Risks are well controlled. These include: Use of Safety Data Sheets - material with lowest risk that meets the needs of the job is used. It’s mandatory to use the SDS and do a JHA when about to handle any hazardous substance. Wearing appropriate PPE. Clear labelling, signage and placards. Storage, compatibility and segregation of substances. Training in safe use of hazardous substances/dangerous goods. Conducting regular reviews of the quantity of substances on site. Disposal in accordance with the law. Suitable waste disposal containers are provided and are removed by an approved waste disposal contractor. Health records are maintained/made available to any one monitored for potential exposure.  Although risk assessments are not mandatory for hazardous substances, we do them anyway.  In the event of an incident we would use emergency showers, eyewash stations and spill control/clean up.

104 Fire & Chemicals Fire Extinguishers, Fire Blankets and Chemical Spill Kits are located at strategic points throughout our sites, with generators and with vehicles. Please immediately report any missing or damaged safety equipment or fire extinguishers with broken seals. Please familiarise yourself with the location and TYPES of fire extinguishers that are used for the different TYPES of fire. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are located at the Site entrance and in the Site office. Please read the SDS and familiarise yourself with what needs to be done. Please take the time to read the Site Plan and familiarise yourself with the location of fire extinguishers and SDS – your life may depend on it!

105 Asbestos  We ensure any sub-contractor workers removing asbestos are properly licensed and trained.  A hazardous materials survey and Asbestos Register is completed by our specialist sub-contractor.  Our project risk assessment process includes asbestos related hazards from the survey.  In the event of asbestos discovery, the affected area is immediately quarantined through barricades and clear signage.  All workers on the site are informed if any asbestos removal is to be performed, when, where and for how long.  Affected materials are extracted and contained within a restricted area prior to secure disposal at a licensed transfer station or local council.  Air monitoring is performed by the NATA accredited contractor as part of the clearance inspection using NATA certified and calibrated air monitors.  Health Surveillance is undertaken by the licensed contractor using a suitably experienced, registered medical practitioner.

136 Emergency Management The aim of our emergency management system is to reduce the level of risk to lives, property and the environment. To meet this aim, we: Control any incidents and reduce their impact on the workplace. Train all workers who could be involved in a workplace emergency, including conducting drills to test procedures. Provide the facilities, resources and equipment to properly manage any emergency. Make decisions about what’s needed to handle emergencies like fire, explosion, medical, electrocution, rescues, hazardous goods incidents, bomb threats and natural disasters.

138 Emergency Wardens  Emergency wardens are identified on notice boards and through different coloured helmets and armbands.  Workers are made aware of the nearest evacuation point and where to muster in the event of an emergency.  The emergency procedure is printed and on prominent display at key movement points throughout the site.  The appropriate level of skills in the workforce is maintained to ensure each site has trained operatives who know exactly what to do in an emergency evacuation.

139 Emergency Equipment The Project Manager must ensure an adequate number and type of fire extinguishers are available extinguishers are located in near any work that may create a fire risk. All vehicles and mobile plant are fitted with the right fire extinguisher. This equipment is provided to extinguish minor fires only. If there is any risk from the fire the building or site is evacuated. If safe to do so and if trained, attempt to extinguish the fire. Before using the equipment, read the instructions to ensure it’s appropriate to the fire type. As part of each monthly workplace inspection, the HSE Coordinator checks that emergency equipment is suitable, located correctly and accessible at all times. The location of emergency equipment is clearly illustrated on Emergency Management Maps and includes the location of eye wash stations, first aid kits, emergency phones, safety showers, fire extinguishers, chemical spill kits, respiratory equipment and PPE.

140 Your role in an Emergency  Only attempt to deal with the actual emergency if you have received appropriate training and if it’s safe to do so.  If you’re operating equipment turn it off. Leave lights on.  Take small, personal belongings ONLY such as wallets and keys – but only if they’re readily accessible – don’t “dither”.  Stay calm and proceed to the nearest exit in accordance with the Emergency Evacuation Plan. Close but don’t lock doors and windows as you exit.  Walk quickly but calmly to the Muster Point. The Roll will be called.

141 Injury in an Emergency Situation Remove danger. Turn off power sources etc. If you’re evacuating, advise the nearest warden and the first aid officer of any injury. If no one is available to help, assist any person with minor injuries to evacuate before applying first aid.
