Nepean Engineering Pty Ltd Employees and Contractors not aware of the current site work activities, hazards and risks.

All Employees and Contractors reporting for work at the site must possess the necessary trade qualifications to meet the requirements of competent person definition under the regulation for the work they will perform, a valid Construction Industry General Induction Card and be inducted into the Principal Contractor Project On arrival at the worksite report to the Site Supervisor Via 2 - way radio. Follow instructions for access to the site and meet with the Site Supervisor. Flashing lights on vehicles must be turned on and all personnel are to wear high visibility vest, hard hats, safety boots, and eye protection and riggers gloves at all times. Drivers and pedestrians must observe the site traffic rules and the directions of spotters/traffic controllers. install signs and barriers to provide an exclusion zone for the job On their initial arrival on site all Nepean Engineering Employees and Contractors must attend a toolbox meeting to:

TOM BUCHANAN

Discuss the identified hazards * Assess the risk's Use the information contained in this SWMS, Industry Codes of Practice and Standards, To: Agree on the risk control Measures Document them on the JSA and Sign the Tool Box Talk before starting Any work at the job site.

Pre-start daily inspection

Death or serious injury.

Carry out daily inspection / checks as per manufacturers recommendations in the operators crane manual

Page 10 of 18

Crane log book to be filled out daily and all safety checks completed as per logbook. Lifting schedule to be completed. Read and familiarize yourself with any safety stickers and decals on the crane Record inspections in the machines log book and sign off accordingly. Any faults or mechanical problems to be reported immediately. Machine not to be used until faults are fixed and/or a service is carried out Operation of the Crane Traffic Movement on site. Failure of the Crane 2 Observe site traffic rules, the directions of traffic controllers and/or rigger/Dogman. Unsure that the crane is big enough to lift the load. Crane driver and Rigger/Dogman determine the crane capacity to lift the load within the correct SWL of the Crane. You will ensure that outrigger are set as per structural Engineers specs two forward working outriggers must have plates underneath wooden packers The crane has current approval by a statutory authority. A hired in plant inspection report has been carried out for the crane by a competent person. Records of crane inspections, services record, changes to ropes, are maintained. A.S. 2250 is the applicable standard. A competency assessment has been carried out for the crane driver that matches the requirements for operating the crane. A competency assessment has been carried out for the Rigger / Dogman that matches the requirements for the lift to be undertaken. Ensure that the lift has been assessed and the method agreed between the crane driver and Rigger / Dogman prior to the lift being made Asses load for potential movement before loosening restraints. Do not stand on or amongst load when restraints are being loosened. TOM BUCHANAN

Placement of Materials

Ensure Materials are stored well clear of vehicle and pedestrian traffic ways. Store materials in a manner that will prevent unexpected movement under the influence of gravity. If there is any risk of unexpected movement the materials must be adequately restrained.

Pinch and crush points in formed by the slewing action of the crane

Ensure direct eye contact is maintained with the Rigger Dogman at all times and do not allow access to the danger area formed by the slewing action of the crane. It is essential that all parties agree, understand and obey the work method and communication selected for the lift

Rigging, Slinging and Dogging Securing the Crane after use.

Load or parts of load slipping and/or falling Edges on load causing damage to load lifting equipment Inappropriate work practices using crane to work at height Inappropriate rope fastening

Secure every part of a load whilst raised or lowered to prevent danger from slipping or displacement. Take adequate precautions to prevent the edges of a load from damaging any sling, rope or chain Prohibit people being suspended from the hook of any crane to do any work.

TOM BUCHANAN

Use only rope clips of approved design and construction, and only for such purposes and in such way as is approved. Prohibit Riggers from A) Riding the hook or the load B) Sliding down lines and guys C) Descending by "skinning" Columns D) Jumping from elevated surfaces

Unaccredited Rigger / Dogman or not working to accreditation criteria

Rigger / Dogman using Tag Lines Unauthorised use.

Use clean, dry tag lines made from natural fibre or non-conductive materials. Position crane in safe location. Remove keys and secure.
