  19. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

  20. RISK MANAGEMENT / ASSESSMENT / SWMS Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) must be in place for every task Reviewed by Laing O’Rourke High risk activities, plant and materials must be identified Must be site specific Workers must be consulted and sign on to the SWMS SWMS must Break down the job into step-by-step tasks Identify the hazard Indicate severity of risk List the control measure to eliminate or reduce risk Nominate responsible person to implement controls No SWMS in place = NO WORK TO START

  21. PROJECT MANAGEMENT (explain the following) The meaning of an incident in relation to safety/environment The need to report all safety/environmental Incidents Hazards Near misses The importance of reducing waste & recycling (cost/housekeeping etc) Safety committee/members/responsibilities First aid provisions Site access, roads and speed limits

  22. Hazard & near miss reporting What is a hazard? A hazardhas the potential to cause harm What is a near miss? A near miss is any incident that occurs that could have resulted in someone being hurt had the circumstances been slightly different

  23. Hazard & near miss reporting Where ever possible hazards should be eliminated as they are spotted and report cards completed and submitted For each valid/named Hazard/Near Miss record card submitted $1 will be deposited by the project into project reward fund Laing O’Rourke group will match and deposit $1 for every valid recording into a LORA Corporate Charity fund

Assist in developing standards, rules and procedures related to health and safety. Conduct safety inspections enter frequency / times Meetings held every week / month

  44. Health & safety representatives (HSR) Functions of HSRs represent workers in a Work Group monitor the measures taken by LOR in compliance with regulations investigate complaints from members a Work Group relating to safety inquire into anything that appears to be a risk to health or safety in the work group, arising from the conduct of the business or undertaking inspect the workplace of the Work Group after reasonable notice is given accompany an inspector during an inspection attend interviews concerning the Work Group and an inspector

  45. QUALITY ASSURANCE WORKMANSHIP AND CONTROL LORAC are committed to providing our client with a quality product. Notify LORAC of poor standards items, processes Damage to others works must be reported to LORAC Subcontractors to notify LORAC of any non conforming products Subcontractors to report poor quality work Products / processes that do not comply will be removed. Replaced or brought to the required standard by the defaulter

  46. Laws and Legislation Endangered Plants and animals Costs Future Generations Existing Landuses WHY MANAGE THE ENVIRONMENT? LORAC requires you to manage your activities in an environmentally responsible manner. You made this commitment in your acceptance of employment on the Project. On this project, we respect the environment and the communities in which we work. Everybody has a duty of care to the environment Health

  47. ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE THIS SECTION NEEDS REVIEW/MODIFICATION FOR EACH STATE ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION - NSW Protection of the Environment Operations Act (1997) Section 120 of the Protection Environmental Operations Act (POEO Act) – 1997, prohibits pollution of waters Water must not be pumped offsite without LORAC approval Erosion and sediment controls must be established, implemented and maintained Under the POEO Act there is a duty to notify the EPA and other nominated authorities immediately of pollution incidents causing environmental harm. Failure to do so is an offence. LORAC will promote environmental awareness among all employees, contractors and partners to achieve the environmental objectives for the project. The project must comply with the development approval conditions These are outlined in the EMP.

  48. ENVIRONMENTAL Penalties in NSW - Tier 1 - Corporation - up to $ 5.0 million Individuals - up to $1.0 million or 7 years imprisonment or both Tier 2 - Strict Liability up to $1.0 million Tier 3 - On the spot fines $1500 - $5000 Offences can involve: Pollution of water, land or air Noise Illegal dumping of waste and littering Modifying air pollution devices on vehicles Not having the appropriate approvals, licences or permits in place prior to works

  49. ENVIRONMENTAL Environmental Management Plans The Project implements a site specific Environmental Management Plan, based on our EMS The EMP addresses specific legislated requirements for the site including planning/development conditions, licensing and other permit requirements The EMP includes the specific control measures to be implemented to prevent pollution and protect the environment There are mandatory requirements for the inspection Incidents and investigation – procedures are documented for identifying and reporting incidents and undertaking investigations. The EMP is available in the Office

  50. ENVIRONMENTAL Environmental Incidents - Three classes within our system Class 3 – minor incidents – easily addressed Class 2 – Short to medium impact – infringement notice or potential prosecution Class 1 – Serious long term environmental harm – exposure to large prosecution All environmental incidents must be reported It is critical that with Class 1 and 2 incidents, that internal notification protocols are implemented and regulatory authorities are notified
