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.

Duty of Care
All personnel have a legal responsibility under duty of care to do everything
reasonably practicable to protect others from harm by complying with safe work
practices, including activities that require licences, tickets or certificates of
competency or any other relevant state and territory WHS requirements.
This includes:
 Employers and self-employed persons
 Persons in control of the work site
 Supervisors
 Designers, Manufacturers and Suppliers of plant and equipment
 Workers/employees/personnel including people from a range of cultural, social
and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.
 Sub-contractors

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.
permission. 80
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.
permission. 80
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.
Hazard management process:
Identify
the
hazards
Implement
risk control Assess the risks
measures
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.

Learning Activities Section 1
Which of the following statements is correct?
□ Regulations set out general safety requirements and enforcement policies

□ Regulations set out safety requirements for specific industries and tasks – what
must be done (i.e. provide safe plant) but give limited details on how to make it
safe.
□ Regulations are guidelines that give examples on how to carry out the task safely.
□ None of the above
True or false. All personnel have a legal responsibility under duty of care to do
everything reasonably practicable to protect others from harm by complying with safe
work practices, including activities that require licences, tickets or certificates of
competency or any other relevant state and territory WHS requirements.
□ True
□ False
Draw the WHS legal pyramid.

Employers must provide a safe and healthy workplace for workers and
contractors. This includes:
□ Implementing arrangements for the safe use, handling, storage and transport of
chemicals
□ Maintaining the workplace in a safe condition
□ Making sure workers have adequate information, training and supervision to work
in a safe and healthy manner
□ Providing and maintaining safe plant and systems of work
□ Providing workers and contractors with adequate facilities
□ All of the above
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 availability and suitability of ways to remove or mitigate the hazard or risk
□ The cost of removing or minimising that hazard or risk
□ Whether workers have time to manage hazards
□ The severity of the hazard or risk
□ The state of knowledge about that hazard or risk and any ways of removing or mitigating
it
What is a hazard? Provide an example.
Something that poses a risk of injury is referred to as a hazard. Examples include electricity, chemicals, working on
a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a workplace bully, stress, etc. Hazards at work may include noisy machinery, a moving

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’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWal4kxZBFg
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?

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:

Read and follow safety warning signs
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

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

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 Site rubbish should be cleared away regularly and no burning
rubbish 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 Such as plumbers, structural steel workers etc. these contractors

using naked must ensure that they do not carry out naked flame operations
flames 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.
Classes of fire
Fire classes are categorised according to the type of material that is burning and range
from Class A to Class F.
Clas Symbol Fuels Examples

s
Wood, paper, cloth, plastics,

A Ordinary combustible
rubber, coal
solids
Flammable and Petrol, oil, paint, thinners,

B
combustible liquids kerosene, alcohol
LPG, butane, acetylene,

C Flammable gases
hydrogen, natural gas
Magnesium, aluminium,
D Combustible metals
sodium or potassium
Computers, switchboards,
E Electrical fires
power- boards
Cooking oils and fats usually

F Cooking oils and fats
found in industrial kitchens
Types of extinguishers
Fire extinguishers have a coloured band to denote their contents.

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
