10 Site Rules

10

1. Do not start work without an Induction and Pre Start (Risk Assessment)Each site has its own unique hazards and work operations. Your Site Supervisor will ensure a Site Induction is completed on your first day on site.

In addition, a Pre Start (Risk Assessment) is carried out for your job/task prior to commencement of work. Make sure you understand the hazards, risks and controls so that you can work safely.

2. Follow all safety signs and proceduresFollow all safety signs and procedures e.g. site signage, traffic signage, Pre Start (Risk Assessment) and SWMS – control measures are put in place for your safety.

3. Wear your PPE on site at all times PPE is your last line of defence should you come into contact with a hazard on site. Wear your hard hat, safety boots and hi-viz vest as a minimum, along with any additional PPE required for the job/task being carried out.

10 Site Rules

11

4. Keep a tidy siteConstruction work is messy. Remember to keep your work area tidy throughout your shift to reduce the number of slip and trip hazards.

Always keep walkways open, especially high risk areas such as access and escape routes.

5. Do not put yourself or others at riskYou are responsible for your own behaviour. Construction sites are dangerous places to work. Make sure you remain safety aware throughout your shift.

All visitors shall be accompanied and escorted on-site at all times by a Doval employee who has received relevant Induction Training.

6. Never work in unsafe areas or cause an unsafe situationMake sure your work area is safe. Don’t work at height without suitable guard rails or other appropriate fall prevention. Don’t enter unsupported trenches. Always make sure you have safe access and egress. Don’t work below crane loads or other dangerous operations.

Powered mobile plant may only be used after a Verification of Competency ( VOC) has been conducted. Plant shall only cross roads upon authorisation from the Site Supervisor, together with full traffic control using qualified traffic controllers.

10 Site Rules

12

7. Report defects and near missesIf you notice a problem, don’t ignore it; report it immediately to your Site Supervisor. Action cannot be taken quickly if management are not aware of the problem, and the sooner problems are resolved the less chance for an accident to occur.

8. Never tamper with plant and equipmentAlways check your equipment against the Plant or Equipment Operators Manual to ensure you understand the safe operating requirements. Ensure all safety guards are present as per manufacturers specifications.

Never remove guards, guard rails or scaffold ties. Do not attempt to fix defective equipment unless you are competent to do so. Do not ever tamper with equipment without authorisation.

Site Rules

13

9. Provide adequate fencing & barricading

All workers, including labour hire and sub-contractors shall ensure their work area is

adequately fenced and barricaded. This is to prevent the public, including children from

being able to reasonably access the site and/or fall into penetrations, excavations

and/or trenches during the day, night or over weekends.

No worker may leave any penetration, excavation and/or trench unattended without

ensuring adequate barricading and/or fencing.

10. If in doubt – Ask

Better safe than sorry. Mistakes on construction sites can cost lives - don’t let it be yours. If you need help or further information speak to your Site Supervisor.

14

Site Security & BarricadingAll workers, including sub-contractors have a duty to ensure their work area is adequately fenced and barricaded to prevent the public, including children from being able to reasonably access the site and/or fall into penetrations, excavations and/or trenches during the day, night or over weekends. All penetrations, excavations and trenches shall be suitably barricaded. Pictures marked with red cross (X) demonstrates unacceptablebarricading!

Electrical shocks, which can lead to injuries such as heart failure and burns, are among the

major hazards associated with electric powered tools. Under certain conditions, even a small

amount of electric current can result in fibrillation of the heart and death.

The following general practices should be followed when using electric tools:

• Operate electric & power tools within their design limitations and ALWAYS in accordance

with manufacturers’ instructions.

• Ensure that cords from electric tools do not present a tripping hazard.

• Ensure extension leads are kept off the ground

• Do not use electric tools in damp or wet locations unless they are approved for that

purpose.

• Keep work areas well lighted when operating electric & power tools.

• Use appropriate PPE when using electric & power tools in accordance with

manufacturers instructions

Electric & Power Tools

15

• Angle grinders are one of the most dangerous tools in any

workplace. Most angle grinder injuries are from metal particles

lodging in the operator's eye.

• However the most serious injuries are from kickback, where

the disc is thrust back violently towards the operator.

• Discs can shatter or explode, sending pieces flying in all

directions.

• Because angle grinders are designed for grinding and not for

cutting, the use of cutting discs with angle grinders exposes

operators to even greater risks.

• 9” Grinders are not permitted under any circumstance

• Safety Glasses and full face shield shall be worn when

operating any grinders e.g. grinders, road saws etc.

Angle Grinders

16

• Safety glasses and full face shield shall be worn when

operating any cutting equipment e.g. grinders, road saw

etc.

• Gloves shall be worn as per operators manual

Double Eye Protection: Grinders and Saws

17

• Falls from ladders in the construction industry have

resulted in a significant number of serious and fatal

injuries, even when working at relatively low heights.

• While ladders are often considered to be the first option

when working at heights, they should only be used if safer

alternatives such as scaffolding, elevated work platforms

(EWP) or order pickers (commonly known as chariots) have

been assessed first and are not reasonably practicable for

the task.

• DO NOT USE any ladder on the construction site without

advising the Doval Site Supervisor

Ladders

18

The following signs shall be used on the project. Other signs may be introduced as deemed

necessary.

Dust

Dust suppression during construction is important not only to the environment but also to the

surrounding people, including workers on the construction site. The generation of dust can cause

detrimental effects to the health and amenity of neighbours and employees, reduced visibility on site,

increased wear on machinery and equipment and complaints from neighbours.

Dust Mitigation techniques shall be used on this site, including watering down of areas generating

excessive dust. If you are aware of an area generating excessive dust, let the site supervisor know.

55

DUST MANAGEMENTObjective(s) 1. To ensure the impacts of dust on adjacent areas , environment and the community are minimised.

Management Strategy

Dust issues managed principally by emission controls at source, and administrative controls during works.

Responsibility TimingControl(s) Area to be disturbed minimised. Clearance lots to be approved by Project Manager.

Where dust is identified as an issue, dust control measures will be implemented. These will primarily be the use of water carts, but may include surface treatments.

Vehicle movements controlled (Traffic Management Plan) and kept to established tracks and haul roads.

Dust awareness issues in environmental induction process

Site Supervisor is to ensure that adequate dust suppression control is implemented through methods such as water carts, and designated/managing side tracks.

Daily monitoring is required

Performance Indicator(s)

No complaints from adjacent commercial premises and/or community.

Monitoring Daily inspection of works sites to occur, including:

• visual check for dust crossing the site boundaries

• visual check of high potential dust areas, such as haul roads, stockpiles and operational areas.

• Stockpiles sites to be situated in areas where likely less prone to severely affect the surrounding community

Site Supervisor is to complete daily site checklist for monitoring dust generated on site.

Dailymonitoring is required.

Reporting Any complaints or incidents to be reported to project manager.

Corrective Action(s)

Investigate cause of excessive dust

Implement controls immediately (e.g. water carts)

Implement corrective measures prior to the recommencement of site works

Implement administrative controls if required, such as rescheduling of dust generating activities to more favourable weather conditions.

Project Manager and Site Supervisor is to ensure the propose control has been implemented.

Dust Management Strategy

56

Erosion and Sediment Control

Land disturbance associated with the construction, installation or maintenance of buildings, roads, sewerage or

other infrastructure creates the potential for increased levels of soil erosion and consequent sediment pollution

of waterways.

The ecological effects of sediment pollution in waterways include:

• smothering or burying the habitats of aquatic plants and animals

• clogging the gills of fish and other aquatic animals

SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL

Objective(s) 1. To ensure that the effects of erosion and sedimentation on the environment and biological communities are minimised.

2. Minimise soil disturbance, degradation and erosion.Management

StrategyEnsure that direct impacts (land disturbance) are limited to the works area, and that secondary impacts do not impact adjacent areas.

Responsibility (Role) TimingControl(s) Disturbance area will be minimised and clearly demarcated.

Works will only be conducted within the works zone.

Vehicle movements will be restricted to the defined roads/tracks.

Where possible, works area will be designed to ensure stormwater runoff drains into the site.

Where runoff from the site is required, it will be via the longest flow path possible to ensure maximise sediment retention. Flows to undisturbed areas will be prioritised.

Where required, sediment controls will be put in place. These will include, but not be limited to, rock check dams, sediment basins, sediment fences and silt socks

Project Manager is to ensure that the all erosion and sediment controls devices has been implemented in accordance with the ESCP.

Performance Indicator(s)

No evidence of significant sediment deposition outside the works area. No evidence of significant rilling, gullies or other instances of run-off erosion.

Monitoring Daily inspection of work site to occur.

Sediment controls will be reviewed during site inspections and/or after significant rainfall. Review will include removal of accumulated sediments as required.

Site Supervisor is to ensure that allerosion and sediment control devices are fully operational.

After rainfallevent more than 10mm or excessive built up of silt in ESC devices.

Reporting Incident report for non-conformance of sediment control

Logging of sediment control structures - location and condition during weekly site inspection

Corrective Action(s) Investigate cause of sediment control failure

Review flow path and determine most appropriate controls are in place, additional controls which can be place in-stream and/or changes that can be made to flow path

Review similar controls on-site (even though these may not have failed) for similarities

Project Manager is to ensure the propose corrective measures has been implemented and established.

The movement of fire ant carriers shall be in accordance with the Biosecurity Act 2014 and all

activities will be undertaken in a way which minimises the associated biosecurity risks. Fire ants on the

Mount Cotton Road WCL will be managed in accordance with the legislative obligations under the

Biosecurity Regulations 2016. If required, a Biosecurity Instrument Permit from the Department of

Agriculture and Fisheries will be implemented.

Noise & Vibration Compliance Management PlanAnyone doing something that pollutes or might pollute the

environment should take all reasonable measures to prevent or

minimise environmental harm or nuisance.

It is important to be considerate of any road users as well as the

nearby residents and businesses residing along the Mount Cotton

Road within the project extent.

Site construction noises that is generated through machinery and

equipment must be kept to a minimum.

Noise & Vibration Compliance Management PlanA Noise and Vibration Compliance Management Plan (NVCMP) has been developed for the Mount Cotton

Road WCL. The plan details prevention and management measures for noise and vibration associated with

noise impacts of construction activities on potentially affected receivers, and contingency measures that may

be implemented if complaints are received.

This Noise & Vibration Management Plan details a range of mitigation measures designed to prevent the

following risks from occurring:

• Noise and Vibration affecting nearby properties

• Vibration affecting site structures including heritage listed items and adjacent facilities

• Complaints from adjacent community and neighbouring sites

The NVCMP has been prepared with reference to the Environmental Scoping Report and the Transport Noise

Management Code of Practice Volume 2 – Construction Noise and Vibration prepared by DTMR.

Noise monitoring shall be undertaken in accordance with the Noise Management Manual, DEHP, 2013

61

Noise and VibrationWhat are your environmental responsibilities?

•Do not start equipment prior to working hours.

Construction activities audible at any residential receptor are limited to the following hours:

• 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Mondays to Saturdays• At no time on Sundays or public holidays

• Avoid unnecessary noise e.g. switch off machines when not in use.

• Be aware and respectful of residents and businesses in the vicinity of the site.

Tree Protection ZonesTree protection zones are essential to protecting the trees that are

to remain untouched within the construction boundaries. It is

imperative to ensure that damage does not occur to any of the

remaining trees. No clearing is to undertaken past the clearing

limits (survey pegs) without authorisation from DTMR.

63

Waterways

The works that are being undertaken

have the risk of affecting the Hilliards

Creek, Sandy Creek and surrounds. As

such it is imperative that all erosion and

sediment control measures are in place

and are in working order.

No personnel should be entering the

waterway.

64

• Construction Safety Plan (CSMP)

• Emergency Response Plan (ERP)

• Environmental Management Plan

• Quality Management Plan

• Traffic Management Plan (TMP & associated TGS)

All staff and sub-contractors are encouraged to actively peruse, read and

familiarise themselves with the CSMP and other management plans prior to

work.

Management plans are available in the site office, or upon request to the

Site Supervisor or Project Manager.

Construction Safety Management Plan (CSMP)

The Construction Safety Management Plan (CSMP) provides the framework to enable

Doval Constructions to meet its legal requirements as specified in the WHS Act &

Regulation 2011, Codes of Practice and relevant Australian Standards, Environmental

Protection Act etc.

The CSMP provides the framework and tools whereby all workers (or workers

representatives) are encouraged to actively participate in the identification of hazards, assessment of risks and development of controls during the Pre Start (Risk Assessment).

Management plans are available in the site office, or upon request to the Site Supervisor or Project Manager.

70

Project Risk Assessment

The term Risk Assessment is the industry standard term for Hazard Identification, Risk

Assessment & Control.

The Project Manager and Site Supervisor shall conduct a Project Risk Assessment prior to the

commencement of the project, which shall incorporate the:

• Hazards to Client, Public and/or other affected entities

• Design Risk Assessment (typically from client)

• Build Risk Assessment

• Procurement Risk Assessment

• Any other Risk Assessment that is relevant to the project

All controls shall be based on the:

• Hierarchy of Control (HOC), together with

• Specific legal requirements.

71

Hierarchy of Control

All controls shall be based on the Hierarchy of Control (HOC), which shall be applied to all

hazards identified:

Elimination: Remove the hazard completely from the workplace or activity

Substitution: Replace a hazard with a less dangerous one (e.g. use of a less hazardous chemical)

Isolation: Separate people from the hazard (e.g. safety barrier)

Engineering: Redesign making a machine or work process safer (e.g. raise a bench to reduce bending)

Administrative: Developing SWMS, providing training, enforcing rules, signage to make a workplace safer (e.g.

induction training, highlighting specific hazards)

PPE: Personal Protective Equipment - Protective clothing and equipment (e.g. leather gloves, hard hats)

72

Legal Requirements

The projects specific legal requirements are summarised and/or referenced in the Project Risk

Assessment (Project WHS Legal Risk Register).

Access to specific legislation can be obtained by asking your Site Supervisor or Project

Manager e.g. WHS Act 2011, WHS Regulation 2011, Codes of Practice and relevant Australian

Standards.

73

SWMS All construction work as specified in Section 299, pg. 241 and Section 289, pg. 233 WHS Reg.

2011 requires a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS).

The Project Risk Assessment (Project WHS Legal Risk Register DC_RE_001) provides essential

information to both the Site Supervisor and workers (or workers representatives) to properly

complete the Pre Start (Risk Assessment).

All sub-contractor SWMS for High Risk Work shall be approved and authorized by Doval prior to

commencement of any work using the SWMS Review Checklist DC_SF_068.

All SWMS including subcontractors shall be reviewed and validated as “fit for purpose” prior to

the specific job/task. This is to ensure all hazards have been identified, risks properly assessed

and controls appropriate – based on the Hierarchy of Control (HOC) and legal requirements.

Validation is required as a SWMS developed and signed-on for a job/task at the start of the

project cannot, in advance, reasonably predict the hazards and/or site specific conditions for

todays specific job/task and scope of work(s).

74

Pre Start (Risk Assessment)

The Project Risk Assessment (Project WHS Legal Risk Register DC_RE_001) provides essential

information to both the Site Supervisor and workers (or workers representatives) to properly

complete the Pre Start (Risk Assessment).

The Daily Pre Start (Risk Assessment) includes:

• Days planned job/tasks, together with activities

• Responsibility, accountability and authority (RAA)

• Validation of SWMS

• Identification of Hazards, Risks & Controls – not adequately covered by a SWMS

• Verification of Licences & Competencies

• Verification that Plant, Equipment & Hazardous Materials is “fit for purpose”

• Nomination of Permits & Compliance Checklists

SWMS that has not been validated for the job/task at the Pre Start (Risk Assessment) prior to

the specific job/task, is not legally compliant.

75

Responsibility, accountability and authority (RAA)

Responsibility, accountability and authority (RAA) is assigned in the Pre Start (Risk

Assessment).

The Projects Master Document Register DC_RE_005 designates the primary

responsibility, accountability and authority (RAA) for each element of the safety,

environment and quality management system - Integrated Management System

(IMS).

Assignment of RAA in the Master Document Register always takes precedence (or

priority) over RAA in Doval’s Management Plans e.g. Construction Safety

Management Plan (CSMP) and/or other documents. This provides site management

a tool for flexibility and efficiency in resourcing.

Ask your Project manager if you do not understand this explanation!

The Master Document Register DE_RE_005 can be accessed via the Site Supervisor or

Project Manager.

76

Legal Compliance Checklists

The Site Supervisor shall nominate competent persons, including sub-contractors

to assist in completing Legal Compliance Checklists, either prior to or during

works.

Do not commence work until all requirements stipulated in the relevant compliance

checklist(s) are satisfied.

77

78

Complete the Online Competency Test

Once you have completed and passed the on-line competency test (exam), ask your Site Supervisor to explain the Project Risk Assessment (WHS Legal Risk Register).

Do not commence work without having familiarised yourself with the Management plans (CSMP, EMP, QMP, ERP and SWMP) and Project Risk Assessments (Legal Risk Registers) – All workers shall sign-on to the Project Risk Assessments and management plans during the induction process.

Do not commence work without understanding and sign-on to the Daily Pre Start (Risk Assessment).

Do not commence work without understanding and sign-on to the relevant SWMS, as specified in the Daily Pre Start (Risk Assessment).
