Section 1 – Identify and assess risks
What is workplace safety?
Work health and safety (WHS) is about ensuring safe and healthy working conditions, and
preventing illness and injury in the workplace. WHS laws set out the obligations of both employers
(your boss) and employees (you). The Australian OHS/WHS legal framework consists of a tiered
hierarchy of Act, Regulation, Codes of Practice and Standards.

Watch the following You Tube video: ‘What does safe at work mean?’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5OrQjft8zM

How do you know what safety requirements apply to your workplace?


Recently the old OHS laws have been replaced with the new Work Health and Safety Act. There are
a range of new Codes of Practice, safety standards, regulations and insurance impacts that affect
the workplace. Each workplace will have different WHS requirements that must be met. At the most
basic level an employer is required to provide a safe workplace as reasonably practicable.

You can access your relevant state legislation at http://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au.

Guidance material
Each statutory authority provides a range of guidance material, such as Compliance Codes, codes of
practice, alerts, notes and so on. Often, the guidance material relates to a topic (e.g. PPE) or
industry (e.g. Horticulture, Mining). Search the relevant authority website for either the topic,
industry sector or other suitable term.’

National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work


The National Standard for Construction Work [NOHSC:1016 (2005)] (the National Standard), aims
to protect persons from the hazards associated with construction work. This Code of Practice
provides guidance to persons working in the general and residential construction sectors on the
types of induction training that may be needed to provide construction workers with an awareness
and understanding of common hazards on construction sites and how they should be managed.

About the Construction Induction Training and Card
All people performing construction work require proof of having completed a general OHS
construction induction for the industry.

An employer must not knowingly refuse to accept from a person


(a) a current construction induction card; or
(b) a construction statement of attainment issued to a person within the previous 60-day period; or
(c) a card evidencing completion before 1 July 2008 of the Construction Industry Basic Induction
training course; or
(d) recognised evidence of construction induction training.

Apply for the card


 To obtain a construction induction card, you must attend a construction induction training
course with a registered training organisation (RTO). You must provide the RTO with photo ID.
 While you wait for your construction induction card to be issued, you can use the 'statement of
attainment' issued by the RTO as proof of having completed the training.
 As long as you have a statement of attainment, you can do construction work while waiting to
receive your construction induction card.

'Red card holders'


Holders of evidence of completion of the Construction Induction Basic Training course before 1 July
2008 ('red card' holders) are exempt from the requirement to hold a current construction induction
card. An employer must accept a card evidencing completion of the Construction Induction Basic
Training course before 1 July 2008.

Holders of a red card who want to apply for a current construction induction card ('white card') can
use the 'red card' as written evidence of having completed the Construction Industry Basic
Induction training course before 1 July 2008 provided the card is legible and contains sufficient
information to satisfy the Authority/RTO that the applicant completed the required training prior to
1 July 2008. Where the applicant does not have a suitable 'red card' a statement of attainment
issued by the RTO who provided the training will be required.

If the applicant cannot produce either of these documents or has not undertaken construction work
for more than two years Construction induction training will need to be undertaken to obtain a
'white card'.

Policies and Procedures
An employer should, so far as is reasonably practicable, provide and maintain for employees a
working environment that is safe and without risks to health.

‘Reasonably practicable’ has regard to:


• The severity of the hazard or risk.
• The state of knowledge about that hazard or risk and any ways of removing or mitigating it.
• The availability and suitability of ways to remove or mitigate the hazard or risk.
• The cost of removing or minimising that hazard or risk. [OHS Act Vic 20(2)]

This includes:
• Providing and maintaining plant or systems of work that are, so far as is reasonably practicable,
safe and without risks to health.
• Providing information, instruction, training or supervision necessary to enable employees to
perform their work in a way that is safe and without risks to health.

In order to meet these requirements, policies and procedures should be developed for the
workplace.

Policies
There may be a need for many workplace policies including general WHS, environmental, workplace
bullying and intimidation, alcohol and drugs, etc.

A policy describes:
• The desired standard
• A timeframe
• Management’s commitment to fulfilling the policy
• What is expected of all employees in relation to the particular issue

What should a policy contain?


• The health and safety objectives of the business, and how the employer will implement the
policy to achieve those objectives.
• The WHS roles and responsibilities of managers, supervisors and all people with a role to play in
health and safety.
• That the policy was prepared in consultation with staff or their elected health and safety
representatives.
• The policy should be signed off by the business owner and a worker representative, and should
have a date for review. All people affected by the policy should be informed about it.
• Everyone should easily understand the policy. It may be necessary to translate it into other
languages.

Management should ensure that all people in the workplace are made aware of the policy. Its
contents need to be clearly explained. Everyone should be encouraged to ask questions of the
employer if they do not understand their roles and responsibilities.

Procedures
A procedure sets out step-by-step instructions for how to deal with an activity in the workplace.

Where there are workplace hazards and risks to the health and safety of people, the procedure sets
out what to do at every stage of the activity to avoid accidents and injuries to all people.

To develop a procedure all potential hazards should be considered. The steps should be in the
correct sequence. Developing a safe system of work can be achieved by completing a Job Safety
Analysis. Ensure that all aspects have been considered for the procedure.

Once procedures are in place, workers should be trained to follow the procedures. Ideally, Standard
Operating Procedures will be developed with the involvement of all people from the workplace who
work at the tasks.

Induction
Every employer should have procedures that ensure a new employee is carefully and thoroughly
inducted into the workplace. A variety of policies, procedures and forms may be used during this
process and will be dependent on legislated requirements and individual business needs. An
Enterprise WHS Consultation Procedure and Induction is a good starting point, as it ensures the
importance of WHS and safe work practices are very evident from day one.

Employees also have specific responsibilities:


• To be responsible for your own health and safety
• Act in a manner that will not affect the safety of yourself or others
• Make a constructive contribution to workplace meetings, workplace activities, inspections
• Raise OHS issues with designated personnel according to organisational procedures
• Complete daily tasks and operate equipment following designated safe work procedures
• To never work under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Correctly use and look after any Personal Protective Equipment provided
• Follow all reasonable instructions
• Participates in appropriate induction and training as required

For more information visit http://www.vwa.vic.gov.au/laws-and-regulations/worker-rights-and-


responsibilities

Many organisations cover the responsibilities of employees in their policies, procedures, induction
programs, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and employee handbooks. These documents will
give you some guidance into the expectations, culture and requirements of your workplace.

Hazards and risks


It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure they identify and report hazards and risks in the workplace.

A ‘hazard’ can be anything that has the potential to harm. Hazards can include things like –
equipment or machinery, exposure to electrical currents, heights, loud noise, dangerous chemicals
or substances and so on. A hazard is also known as the ‘source’ of potential harm/injury.

Types of hazards can include exposure to:
 Chemicals
 Extreme heat or cold
 Crushing
 Unprotected equipment
 Spillage
 Infectious material (e.g. asbestos)
 Lifting and moving equipment
 Cuts and bruising
 Uneven or slippery surfaces
 Moving parts
 Gas / Fuel
 Falls from heights
 Lack of oxygen
 Contacting with moving parts
 Electrical installations

A ‘risk’ is the likelihood or level of impact determined when a hazard has been identified. The
important thing to note is that the level of risk is dependent on the hazard and will either increase
or decrease in impact and severity.

Types of hazards
The three main hazard groups:

1. Physical  Noise
 Electrical
 Radiation
 Structural collapse/damage
 Slips/falls
 Temperature
 Holes/trenches
 Electrical safety work in confined spaces
 Excavations, including trenches
 Falling objects

2. Chemical  Gas
 Dusts
 Inhalation
 Intoxication
 Skin exposure to dangerous substances
 Chemical spills

3. Biological hazards  Bodily fluids


 Viruses
 Bacteria
 Blood borne/contracted diseases
 HIV and other infectious diseases

Acute and chronic hazards
‘Acute hazards’ are those that have an obvious and immediate impact e.g. slippery floor where
there is an immediate danger of someone slipping or being injured.

‘Chronic hazards’ have a more hidden, cumulative, long-term impact e.g. workplace bullying, where
the long-term impact may result in stress or other psychological injury.

If you identify a hazard in your workplace you are obliged under the law to report it. Usually your
employer will have a form to be completed. The information required includes; your name, the date
and time, area and your supervisor’s name. You need to describe what happened or the nature of
the hazard. The form also asks you to suggest some possible solutions to the problem.

Incident reporting
The following information on incident reporting has been taken from
https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/incident-reporting

Certain sorts of workplace mishaps must be reported to your regulator, according to the model
WHS Act.

Only the most serious safety accidents must be reported to your regulator, and they trigger
requirements to maintain the incident site pending further instructions from your regulator.

Notifiable incidents
Notifiable incidents are:
 The death of a person—whether an employee, contractor or member of the public.
 A serious injury or illness.
 A dangerous incident that exposes any person to a serious risk, even if no one is injured.

If a notifiable incident occurs the model WHS Act states that:


 The regulator must be immediately notified.
 Written notification must be submitted within 48 hours if requested by the regulator.
 The incident site is preserved until an inspector arrives or directs otherwise. However, this
doesn’t prevent any action to help an injured person or make the site safe.

Call 000 if there is an immediate risk to life.

Refer to your state/territory regulator for further information.

Section 2 – Identify hazardous materials and other hazards on work sites


Hazardous materials
Hazardous materials include the following:
 ACM (Asbestos Containing Materials)
 Cleaning chemicals, including those in pressurised containers
 Glues
 Insulation materials
 Solvents
 Treated timber products

It is important to follow the correct waste management procedures to safely remove hazardous
material. Any nontoxic materials are to be removed safely according to correct safe handling
procedures.

Asbestos Containing Material (ACM)


Asbestos is a type of natural mineral that is generated within the surface of the earth. The fibres in
asbestos are very fine to the point where they cannot be seen by the human eye alone. Because of
the fibre’s thin properties, asbestos is hazardous to humans as it can easily be breathed into the
lungs. Asbestos is now banned (officially in December 2003) from being used as a material on any
building site. Some older construction sites may contain the presence of asbestos in the materials
so it is essential that you are made aware of the asbestos reporting or removal process on the
worksite.

It is important to remember that not everybody is equipped with the knowledge, skills and tools
required to remove asbestos. There are specific certified licensed asbestos removers who can
perform the removal work. Having a licensed person remove asbestos will depend on its size and
quantity.

The best thing to do is to report to your direct supervisor (or equivalent person in charge) that you
have identified asbestos so they can take further action in managing the removal.

Watch the following You Tube video: ‘Clear and present danger: Asbestos exposed’

Controlling the risks of ACM


Some management strategies to control the risks associated with ACM include:
 Warning signage
 Correct labelling of materials
 Accurate reporting of materials which contain ACM
 Ongoing asbestos training and support

Designated Personnel
Designated personnel to be contacted in case of an emergency, accident, fire or to report a risk
such as identification of ACM are:
 Designated safety officers, determined by the enterprise, who have undertaken specific safety
response training
 Managers or other senior personnel
 Personnel competent and/or licensed in the safe handling of asbestos
 Supervisors

For further information on asbestos, read Safe Work Australia’s Code of Practice on ‘How to manage
and control asbestos in the Workplace’ at
https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/system/files/documents/1705/mcop-how-to-manage-and-
control-asbestos-in-the-workplace-v2.pdf (Supplementary document)

Types of risks

Inherent risk The combination of likelihood and consequence assigned to a particular


hazard under the assumption that there are no control measures in
place.

Residual risk The risk assessed with the control measures in place. To manage the
residual risk, every effort must be made to ensure the implemented
control measures have taken into account both the reduction of
‘likelihood’ and ‘consequence’. Residual risk is assessed to ensure the
implemented control measures provide appropriate protection, thereby
resulting in an acceptable level of risk.

Typically, if the residual risk is:


 Low, then the approval of the relevant supervisor is required prior to the job commencing
 Moderate/Medium, then the approval of the relevant department supervisor is required prior to
the job commencing
 High/Extreme, then the approval of the department manager or superintendent is required prior
to the job commencing

If the inherent and residual risks that have been identified, you will then need to assess the
consequences of those risks. Once you have determined the consequences, you can implement
appropriate safety measures/controls

Risk assessment rating matrix
The risk assessment rating matrix is used to determine the current risk and residual risk for each
identified task and hazard. Consider the following:
1. What is the worst possible consequence of this hazard?
2. What is the likelihood of this occurring?

Consequence
Insignificant Minor Moderate Major Catastrophic

Almost
High High Extreme Extreme Extreme

Likely Moderate High High Extreme Extreme


Likelihood

Possible Low Moderate High Extreme Extreme

Unlikely Low Low Moderate High Extreme

Rare Low Low Moderate High High

Likelihood
The likelihood or probability of injury, illness or damage occurring is categorised as follows:

Level Description

Almost certain Most likely outcome, could occur any time (daily)

Likely Likely to occur, even 50/50 chance (weekly)

Possible Might occur at some time (monthly)

Unlikely Unlikely to occur, but history of the event exists within the industry (yearly)

Risk management priority
Risks will be prioritised and managed as follows:

Priority Description
 Action to reduce risk is mandatory
 If work is in progress and an activity is identified as extreme risk – cease
Extreme work immediately
 Work will not commence until action has been taken to lower the risk to
another category
 Action to reduce risk is mandatory
 If work is in progress and an activity is identified as high risk – consider
High ceasing work
 Immediate action must be taken or controls implemented to reduce the risk
 Approval must be obtained from management to continue work
 Action to reduce risk should be taken
 Action must be based on the Hierarchy of Controls
Moderate  Short-term action can be administrative controls or protective equipment
 Employees must be made aware of the risk and controls to be taken
 Plans for further mitigation must be implemented

 Action to reduce risk should be taken


Low  Action must be based on the Hierarchy of Controls
 Administrative procedures or protective equipment may control the risk

Deciding on the most suitable Control Measures using the ‘Hierarchy of Control’

Example: Use of Air Compressor

Hazard: Operators exposed to drive belt and pulleys – entanglement.


*Note there may be more than one hazard.

Risk rating: Using the Risk Assessment Matrix, the likelihood can be judged as ‘possible’ and the
consequence as ‘minor’. Therefore, the risk is rated as ‘moderate’.

Use the ‘hierarchy of control’ to minimise the risk and establish the most effective controls.

Elimination The hazard cannot be eliminated. Compressed air is required.

Substitution No, nothing else available to supply compressed air.

Isolation No, unable to isolate the operators.

Yes, a guard can be constructed and fitted so that people cannot touch
Engineering controls
the moving belt and pulleys – risk is minimised.
Yes, operators need to be trained to use, and maintain the compressor

Section 3 – Plan and prepare for safe work practices
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Personal protective equipment is also known as (PPE). Personal protective equipment helps to
protect workers against potential injuries. PPE must be worn according to worksite rules and
regulations.

While the use of PPE is the least effective control because it does not remove the danger, and relies
on the individual to use the PPE effectively, it is necessary to protect workers for many of the tasks
in the construction industry.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) comprises a range of clothing and equipment which is worn by
employees, students, contractors or visitors as appropriate to protect or shield their bodies from
workplace hazards. There are many types of PPE that can be considered in categories, based on the
type of protection afforded by the equipment.

Respiratory protection e.g. disposable, cartridge, air-line, half or full face


Eye protection e.g. spectacles/goggles, shields, visors
Hearing protection e.g. ear muffs and plugs
Hand protection e.g. gloves and barrier creams
Foot protection e.g. shoes/boots
Head protection e.g. helmets, caps, hoods, hats
Protection from falls e.g. harness and fall arrest devices
Skin protection e.g. hats, sunburn cream, long sleeved clothes
Other protection e.g. protective clothing for extremely hot or cold environments

Legal requirements related to PPE:

Employer’s obligations Employee’s obligations

In every work place you will find different hazard signs and symbols displayed to let people know of
any potential hazards which may be in the area. It is extremely important that you are aware of
what the hazard signs and symbols mean at your workplace and what you should and shouldn’t do
in that area to reduce risk of an accident.

Apart from hazard signs and symbols the workplace is likely to have safety signs. The safety signs
should be placed where everyone can see them – their directions are mandatory, which means
people in the workplace MUST do what they indicate.

Safety signage on the construction site


All construction sites should be equipped with correct signage. This includes correct signage for
barriers/barricades and onsite machinery and equipment.

Safety signage on the construction site helps anyone be aware of any potential dangers or hazards
onsite. Work areas should be isolated to protect not only other workers and people in the vicinity,
but also to protect the work being done.

Work areas can be isolated by:


 Using barrier tape
 Using witches hats
 Barricading the area
 Erecting fencing
 Erecting signage
 Verbally informing other trades not to enter the work area whilst work is being conducted

There are a variety of signage used on any construction worksite, although the common categories
of signs fall into the following:
 Mandatory signs
 Danger signs
 Warning signs
 Emergency signs

Section 4 – Apply safe work practices
Tools

Hand tools
Non-powered hand tools are available. Axes to wrenches are among the tools available. Misuse and
poor maintenance are the most dangerous aspects of hand tools.

Power tools
When handled incorrectly, power tools can be dangerous. Electric, pneumatic, liquid fuel, hydraulic,
and powder-actuated power tools are among the several types of power tools available.

All tools — not just power tools – should be taught to employees. They should be aware of the
potential dangers as well as the safety steps that may be taken to avoid them.

The following general precautions should be observed by power tool users:


 Never carry a tool by the cord or hose
 Never yank the cord or the hose to disconnect it from the receptacle
 Keep cords and hoses away from heat, oil, and sharp edges
 Disconnect tools when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters
 All observers should be kept at a safe distance away from the work area
 Secure work with clamps or a vice, freeing both hands to operate the tool
 Avoid accidental starting. The worker should not hold a finger on the switch button while
carrying a plugged-in tool.
 Tools should be maintained with care. They should be kept sharp and clean for the best
performance. Follow instructions in the user's manual for lubricating and changing accessories.
 Be sure to keep good footing and maintain good balance
 The proper apparel should be worn. Loose clothing, ties, or jewellery can become caught in
moving parts
 All portable electric tools that are damaged shall be removed from use and tagged "Do Not
Use."

Operator manuals
Operator manuals are supplied by the manufacturer – they contain information relating to the
technical functions and operations of products. Operating tools and equipment not in accordance
with site procedures and the manufacturer’s specifications, can lead to accidents or injury and
equipment failure.

Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Safety Data Sheets are documents that provide information about product features, storage,
handling, first aid and any other requirements. For each hazardous substance, the following details
are outlined:
 Details of the hazardous substance
 The impact of this substance on health
 How to manage and control the hazard (including safe disposal)
 Emergency procedures
 Safety requirements
 Shelf life of the product
 Clean up instructions

All materials considered hazardous or dangerous are required by law to have an SDS. This must be
provided by suppliers or transporters. SDS’s must always be accessible because they are used by
emergency organisations to assist in managing incidents.

A sample SDS is shown on the following page.

Job safety analysis (JSA)
A JSA is an on-site or task-specific risk assessment completed prior to the start of each activity, or
where high-risk is involved, to identify hazards and manage risks. A JSA includes details of the
activity and associated risks and safety measures that are required.

It is important that the sequence of listed steps reflects the sequence in which the task is actually
completed. If not, sequential dangers or hazards may present themselves without the required
control either being effective or not in place. This could not only result in exposure to the hazard
but could also adversely affect the productivity of the task.

Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)


Site and equipment safety requirements are vital on construction sites.

Safe Work Method Statements are required for all tasks. A SWMS is an explanation of all steps that
need to be completed on a job – from arriving on-site, unloading the vehicle, checking the
workplace, carrying out the job, clearing the workplace, loading the vehicle and leaving the site

Steps to preparing SWMS or JSA:

Section 5 – Follow emergency procedures
You should know and understand emergency plans including evacuation and communication
procedures, location of emergency personnel and equipment including how to contact First Aiders,
fire officers, emergency services and other people relevant to the emergency.

All people in the workplace should know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher. They should
also be aware of which extinguisher and is used for each type of fire.

The location of First Aid kits, eye washes, showers and other emergency equipment should be
known to all people in the workplace.

Employee responsibilities during an emergency


• Workers are required to assist the employer to maintain the safety of the workplace
• Must report any situation that may result in an emergency.
• Everyone is required to comply with all reasonable instructions in the event of an emergency.
• Employers and workers must keep work areas clean and tidy and make sure there is a clear
evacuation route and access to emergency equipment.

Emergencies and evacuation procedures


Most accidents and emergencies in the workplace are preventable but still occur despite everyone’s
best efforts to avoid them. Prevention is the best course of action and that is why safety is a major
emphasis in the workplace. When an emergency incident or an accident occurs, it is very important
to have effective and efficient communication. You must be familiar with the specific emergency
communication procedure in the workplace.

In any emergency situation, different people take on different roles on how to respond. One group
of people are called the Emergency Control Organisation also known as ECO groups. These people
initiate and manage the response of any emergency situation.

Emergency response and evacuation procedures include the following:


 Emergencies, such as fire, toxic and/or flammable vapours emission, vehicle/mobile plant
accident, structural collapse, chemical spill and injury to personnel
 Extinguishing fires, organisational first aid requirements and evacuation

You must know the procedures to follow in an emergency and know how to implement them. In an
emergency, correct communication procedures are critical; lives depend on it.

Emergency communication procedures may include:


 Written emergency procedures and policies
 The reporting of incidents or emergencies to relevant personnel
 Warning procedures including sirens and announcements
 Maintaining communication and keeping people up-to-date
 Communicating with emergency services (e.g. Fire service)
 Communicating with other relevant agencies (e.g. Electrical power service)
 Writing of reports and records

In an emergency evacuation, you must evacuate immediately in accordance with the site’s
emergency procedures – you must directly follow the routes outlined to get to the appropriate exit
point.

Notifying emergency services
If it is your responsibility to contact the emergency services, dial ‘000,' remain cool, and offer the
following information:
• Your name
• Location and location of the emergency
• Number of people injured
• Types of injuries sustained
• Assistance required
• Any hazards that might exist
• Contact phone number

Priority one – People and their safety


Everyone needs to know what their duty is in an emergency and where they should go. In the
event of an emergency, the workplace should have a very clear step-by-step list of measures that
clearly indicates everyone's responsibility.

This emergency instruction should:


• Exist for each type of emergency
• Be easily seen and understood both by reading and by signs or pictorial diagrams
• Be regularly practiced so that emergency responses are controlled and safe some of the ways
this information can be communicated throughout the workforce is via:
• Training (including mock emergency responses conducted on a regular basis)
• Inductions
• Maps, signs and pictures
• Procedures and work instructions

Firefighting equipment
Learning how to prevent and fight fires is part of every workers responsibility. It is important for the
safety of every worker on a job to understand the procedures to follow in the event of a fire. Large
construction sites and buildings should have firefighting teams responsible for each floor or the
whole building. The firefighting team must be especially trained staff members who can direct the
evacuation, and firefighting operations, until the fire brigade arrives.

Fire hazards
The three elements necessary before there can be fires are:

Fuel Can be any combustible material, i.e. any solid, liquid or gas that can burn.
Flammable materials are any substances that can be easily ignited and will burn
rapidly
Heat That may start a fire can come from many sources e.g. flames, welding, operations,
grinding, sparks, heat causing friction, electrical equipment, hot exhausts

Oxygen Comes mainly from the air. It may also be generated by chemical reactions. If one
of these three elements is taken away the will be extinguished

Common causes of fires onsite

Burning off rubbish Site rubbish should be cleared away regularly and no burning off should
take place in accordance with EPA requirements

Electrical fires Due to overload equipment, faulty equipment, faulty wiring etc. All
equipment should be carefully checked, maintained and used correctly

Contractors using Such as plumbers, structural steel workers etc. these contractors must
naked flames ensure that they do not carry out naked flame operations within the vicinity
of stored rubbish, paints, sawdust or any other highly flammable material

Smokers Carelessly disposing of cigarettes, matches etc. butane lighters may also be
a source of ignition and should not be exposed to naked flames or other
situations where ignition could occur

How to prevent fires
Don’t give them the chance to start
 Remove unwanted fuel from the workplace e.g. rubbish and waste materials
 Store fuels and combustible materials carefully: use safety carrying and pouring hands
 Use only approved electrical fittings, keeping them in good order
 Don’t overload electrical circuits
 Don’t smoke at the workplace
 Take special care if working with flammable liquids or gases
 Be careful of oily rags, which can ignite from spontaneous combustion e.g. turps or licensed oil
soaked rags
 Avoid dust hazard. Dust is highly flammable that they can explode when mixed with air or when
they are exposed to flame or sparks and can also cause chemical hazards and respiratory
problems. (Note: the best method of suppressing dust on-site is ‘wetting down’.)

In the event of a fire


 Don’t panic – keep calm and think
 Warn other people in the building
 Those not needed should leave the building at once and assemble at the designated fire
assembly area
 Arrange for someone to call the fire brigade
 Have the power and gas supplies turned off if it is appropriate (some lighting may still be
required)
 Close doors where possible to contain the fire
 Stay between a doorway and the fire
 Be aware of containers of explosive or flammable substances. Remove them from the area only
if it is safe to do so
 If it is safe to fight the fire, select the correct type of extinguisher, having others back you up
with additional equipment
 Know how to use the extinguisher; be confident and attack the fire energetically
 If the fire is too large for you to extinguish, get out of the building and close all doors. Assemble
at the designated area

Extinguishing fires
Main methods of extinguishing a fire include the following:

Starving Removing the fuel element burning

Smothering Refers to cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire

Cooling Usually refer to water as this lowers the temperature

The most typical equipment kept on-site to fight fires is fire extinguishers and hose reels. Color-
coded and labelled fire extinguishers are color-coded and labelled based on their contents.

It's critical to use the appropriate extinguisher for the type or class of fire. When used on the wrong
type of fire, the contents of some extinguishers may be ineffective or even deadly. The tables below
show the different classes of fire and the range of fire extinguishers used to combat these fires.

Parts of a fire extinguisher

Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:


 You know the extinguisher is suitable for use on the flammable materials involved in the fire,
 You have considered whether electricity is possibly involved and, if so, that the available
extinguishing agent is non-conducting,
 You can extinguish the fire quickly,
 You are not putting your safety at risk by staying in the vicinity of the fire, and
 All other persons have been evacuated from the area.

Source:
https://www.qfes.qld.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-05/FireExtinguishersInformationSheet.pdf
(Supplementary document)

To use a fire extinguisher:


 Pull out the pin at the top of the extinguisher
 Aim the nozzle towards the base of the fire
 Squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguisher
 Use a sweeping action to spray the substance back and forth across the fire, from front to back
and from side to side.

Hose reels
Hose reels use water, and are only designed for Class A fires, that is, fires involving materials such
as paper, wood and cardboard. They must never be used on fires involving fats or electrical
equipment. To use a hose reel:
 Turn the water on at the reel before unrolling the hose
 Unroll the hose, with the assistance of another person if required
 Turn the water on at the nozzle.

Fire blankets
Fire blankets are useful for smothering small fires associated with cooking stoves or other high-risk
electrical appliances. To use a fire blanket:
 Pull the tabs downwards to remove the blanket
 Shake the blanket open, holding onto the tags
 Hold the blanket in front of the body to form a heat shield
 If an appliance is on fire – place the blanket over the fire and turn off the source of the flame
 If a person’s clothes are on fire – wrap the blanket around the person and roll them on the
ground until the flames are extinguished.

First aid
Acting quickly when an injury occurs at the workplace could sometimes mean the difference
between life and death. First aid is critical to reducing the severity of injuries, especially in the
building and construction industry which is a high-risk work environment.

Information on first aid is a critical element that should be covered in employee inductions – this
includes location of first aid kits. It is also handy to familiarise yourself with basic first aid
procedures such as CPR, that you can apply on the worksite.

Basic first aid procedures can be applied to:


 Minor burns/abrasions
 Broken arm/limb
 Poisoning
 Skin irritations
 Eye irritations
 Epileptic fits
 Infected wounds

Establishing what First Aid is appropriate in the workplace:


 Identify possible causes of work injury and work-related injury
 Assess the risk of work injuries and work-related illnesses occurring
 Determine the appropriate First Aid facilities and training
 Evaluate the First Aid facilities and training.

The following factors should be considered when assessing the risk:


 Size and layout of the workplace
 Number and distribution of employees including arrangements such as shift work, overtime and
flexible hours
 Nature of the hazards and the severity of the risk
 Location of the workplace
 Known occurrences of accidents or illnesses

If you are injured at work you must report to the First Aid officer for treatment, have it
recorded in the First Aid Injury Register book and you may then be required to fill in an
incident report.

Safe practices for First Aid


 Provide First Aid cover to each separate working area.
 Locate First Aid kits according to your First Aid assessment – in the workshop and all work
vehicles. Level C kits are generally kept in work vehicles; a Level B kit is installed in the
workshop.
 Have a list of the First Aid kit contents attached to the inside lid or door of the First Aid kit.
 In addition to the standard contents for the First Aid kit you need to include modules for
injuries/illnesses that you identified during your needs assessment e.g. burns module, snake
bite module, eye module, etc.
 Kits should be kept in a clean and tidy state and well maintained with current products.
 If appropriate in your workplace, display the name/s of trained First Aiders with a photograph,
beside the First Aid kit.
 Make sure signs are displayed prominently indicating the location of the First Aid station.
 There should be a First Aid book to record all First Aid administered.
 Have the emergency contact list near the phone.
 Instruct employees in the actions required in case of injury/illness.
 Other safety factors are listed under emergency procedures in this manual
