THOHOYANDOU BOTANICAL GARDEN AND NZG CONSTRUCTION/RENOVATION BASELINE RISK ASSESSMENT

1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

The Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1993, and its relevant regulations, require employers to do baseline risk assessment for planned construction work and
provide the risk assessment and specific health and safety specification to the principal contractor. The objective of this this baseline risk assessment is to inform the
Principal contractor of the occupational health and safety risk factors to which persons will be exposed when renovating / demolition of structures/building.
Measurements must be taken and the identified problems addressed by the employer. Improved conditions ensure better worker morale, loyalty and greater
productivity.

All construction and maintenance activities can subject workers to levels of environmental stressors and safety factors, e.g. noise, fumes and hazardous substances,
revolving machinery, tools, moving vehicles, electricity, etc., which permanently harm the health and physical wellbeing of persons at work and greatly reduce
productivity

2. SITE DESCRIPTION

Main administration block, staff ablutions and education centre in the Thohoyandou Botanical Garden. The site has offices which will be in operation during
construction work. The following are possible hazards which are related to construction and renovation work;

1. Physical hazards
2. Biological hazards
3. Chemical hazards

Other possible risks includes:

 Collision with plant, equipment and other vehicles.

 Collision with pedestrians and visitors
 Injury to public from falling objects
 Because of high density of people, noise and dust.
 Special attention and consideration should be prearranged regarding the continued use of surrounding area for parking purposes and normal work during
Construction period.
 4. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

Section 8 of the OCCCUPATIONAL HEALTH and SAFETY ACT 1993 (Act no. 85 of 1993), requires inter alia that the employer shall establish as far as is
reasonably practicable, what the hazards to the health and safety of persons are attached to any work which is performed, further establish what precautionary
measures should be taken with respect to such work and he shall provide the necessary means to apply such precautionary measures. The construction regulations
2014 further requires that a baseline risk assessment for an intended construction work project be compiled and a suitable, sufficiently documented and coherent
site specific health and safety specification for the intended construction work based on the baseline risk assessment to be prepared.

5. Hazards identification.

Based on the nature of work to be undertaken and the risks attached to it, the following must be complied with in order to ensure health and
safety of both SANBI employees and visitors.

 Agreed programme of work with clear completion time per phase to allow employees to organise alternative accommodation.
 Clearly defined designated access route to and from work area/offices
 Ensure all debris is removed from walkways and disposed of safely.
 Daily inspection to be carried out by contractors.
 Clear signage for visitors to main entrance / other services
 Advise employees of restricted access to construction areas during team information sharing.
 Contractors instructed not to engage in conversation with staff but to report to Centre manager if staff breach area.
 Adequate supervision in the vicinity of the work area.
 Contractors’ vehicles not permitted into grounds.
 Pedestrian walkways maintained
 Obtain Permission from SANBI Centre manager for Construction work undertaken out of normal working hours.
 Hot work permit to be obtained first for any welding activities inside the building.
 Adhere to emergency and evacuation procedures.
 All construction employees must wear hard hat, coveralls, safety boots, high visibility vests and any other PPE as determined
by risks attached to their activities.

NB/ Below is baseline risk assessment (not exhaustive) which must be supplemented by your activities risk assessment.
