8. FIRE SAFETY

DEFINITION OF A FIRE:

Fire is a chemical reaction which involves rapid oxidation of combustible materials. Three elements must
be present to produce a fire; they are fuel or combustible material, oxygen and heat or an ignition source.
These elements are representing by the fire triangle as shown in Figure (1). Each face represents one of
the elements (fuel, oxygen and heat) while the fourth face represents the fire which is a chemical chain
reaction.

Page 28 of 56
 Site Specific Health Safety
Environment Plan

CLASSES OF FIRE:

Fires are classified by the fuel they burn. There are six fire classes according to the European system as
follows:
1. Ordinary combustible material fires (Class A)
These are fires involving solid materials such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics. The most
effective extinguishing agent is water and dry chemical extinguishers rated for (ABC)
2. Flammable and combustible liquid fires (Class B)
These are fires involving flammable and combustible liquids such as: motor gasoline, kerosene, solvents
and alcohols. The most effective extinguishing agents are Foams, Carbon Dioxide and dry chemical.
Water is not recommended to extinguish this class of fire as it spreads the fire.
3. Flammable compressed gas fires (Class C)
These are fires involving liquefied compressed gases such as liquefied petroleum gas (LP-Gas) and
acetylene. The best extinguishing agent is dry chemical and carbon dioxide.
4. Combustible metal fires (Class D)
These are fires involving metals such as sodium, potassium and magnesium. A special dry powder agent is
used for this class.
5. Electrical equipment fires (Class E)
These are fires involving electrical wiring and equipment. The most effective extinguishing agent is dry
chemical and carbon dioxide.
6. Cooking oils and Fats fires (Class F)
This is a new class of fires added to other fire classes. It involves combustible vegetable oil in cooking
appliances. A new wet chemical agent is used for this class.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER TYPES WILL BE USED AT THIS SITE:

The most common and usable fire extinguishers are (Figure 2):

Structure & Function of the Spine

• Twenty-four vertebrae (7+12+5)

• It encloses and protects the spinal cord.
• It provides a flexible connection between the upper and lower half of the body.
• It is involved in most movements of the trunk and limbs by providing key
attachment points for muscles.

Operation of the Spine

1.The vertebrae form themselves into gentle ‘S’ shape curves which allows for increased strength and
gives it the ability to absorb the compressive forces.
2.Muscles produce the movements in the back, which occur at joints. These are protected by ligaments,
joint capsules and cartilage known as Connective Tissue.

Spine

Our spine acts as a lever:

1.During handling activities the back (especially intervertebral discs) is most easily damaged by the
combination of compression and bending.

Page 34 of 56
 Site Specific Health Safety
Environment Plan

2.Increasing the distance of the load from the body, for example by stooping, causes increased leverage
and higher loading on the spine - particularly in the lumbar region.

Leverage

• The longer the external lever, the greater the force the muscles and ligaments must produce to
keep the body in position -
i.e. STATIC work.
• This is because the back muscles work very close to the pivot of movement, so high muscular
force is necessary even for low loads or weights.

Tension in the back

Load Close Load Away

When handling, try to keep leverage as low as
possible to reduce static work and spinal loading:
• Keep loads as close as possible to the body.
• Organize the work to reduce leverage.
• Try not to stoop.

Main causes of back pain

1.Degeneration (wear and tear).

2.Traumatic Injury (acute).
3.Cumulative Stress.
4.Psychological.

Page 35 of 56
Site Specific Health
Safety Environment
Plan

Page 36 of 56
Degeneration (wear and tear)
• Loading of the spine results in wear and tear,
i.e. degeneration of the intervertebral discs, and narrowing of the intervertebral spaces.
This puts increased pressure on the facet joints with associated loss of movement
• Soft tissues adapt becoming shortened, making them more vulnerable to injury and pain
Traumatic Injury
Acute Injury: Sudden, accidental
• Does not mean the injury is not avoidable;
• Cause of accident? slip, trips, falls.
Acute Injury: Overexertion
• Handling beyond an individual’s capability in a given situation.
• Acute injuries are often still the result of over-loading of discs and other structures, made
vulnerable by the adaptive changes.
• When muscles work statically the blood supply is restricted causing a build up of waste products,
increasing fatigue and risk of injury
• Muscles are prone to injury when fatigued as well as at extremes of movement.
Cumulative Stress
Occurs gradually.
• Poor sitting and standing postures.
• Poorly designed working environment.
• Obesity and poor muscle condition.
• No rest or recovery period.
The accumulation of these minor stresses can lead to significant back pain.
Psychological
1.Pain with no physical symptoms. Can occur in cases of hysteria, depression or acute anxiety.
2.Chronic back pain suffers may become depressed by exaggerated pain perception.
Control Measures
• Avoid over reaching.
• Avoid heavy loads and forces.
• Keep any static work to a minimum.
• Position feet to provide balance and control.
• Avoid stooping, twisting, bending and reaching.
• Recognise individual limitations.

Safe System of Work

A safe system of work is a formal procedure which results from a systematic examination of the
task in order to identify all the hazards. It defines safe methods to ensure that hazards are
eliminated or risks minimized.”

Six Point Lift

1.Look at the load.

2.Foot position.
3.Bend knees/back straight (natural position).
4.Test the load/firm grip/head up.
5.Lift with the legs/load close.
6.Put down with care.

11. Working At Height:

The legal requirements are as follows:

The Building and other Construction Workers Act 1996(central rules 1998), Occupational Health, Safety
and Welfare Act 1986 (OHSW Act), Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations 1995 (OHSW
Regulations) place a duty of care on employers and employees to ensure safety in the workplace. The
Regulations use the principle of hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control to minimize the risk
of injury in the workplace. Emphasis is placed on consultation between all parties to achieve a safe and
healthy work environment.

Responsibilities:

Employers are responsible for providing:

• A safe work environment
• Safe systems of work

Fall arrest Sysytem

A fall-arrest system is designed to arrest the fall of a person.

The following points describe the different components of a fall-arrest system:

Page 40 of 56
Page 41 of 56
 Site Specific Health Safety
Environment Plan

• A fall-arrest harness is an assembly of interconnected shoulder and leg straps, with or without a body
belt designed to spread the load over the body and to prevent the wearer from falling out of the
assembly.
• A lanyard is a line used, usually as part of a lanyard assembly, to connect a fall-arrest harness to an
anchorage point or static line.
• A lanyard assembly consists of a lanyard and a personal energy absorber.
• The lanyard assembly should be as short as practicable and the working slack length not more than 2 m
under a free fall condition.
Types of fall-arrest systems:

• Where there is a risk of a free fall at any height, a fall-arrest harness connected to a lanyard assembly
should make use and attached to a fall-arrest static line or an anchorage point
• Where there is a risk of a free fall of not more than 600 mm, a ladder belt connected to a lanyard of not
more than 300 mm in length attached to a ladder fall-arrest device.
An important factor in the safe use of a fall-arrest system is to reduce the free fall distance as far as
possible. Correctly installed fall-arrest equipment will only safely arrest a fall if there are no obstructions in
the fall path. The longer the free fall distance, the greater the risk of the person hitting obstructions.
Before a fall-arrest system is used, the work area should be inspected to ensure there are no obstructions
in the potential fall path. Any obstruction should be removed from the fall path area. In the event of a
person falling, immediate action should be taken to retrieve the person.

Fall-arrest harnesses, lanyards and static lines provide a satisfactory degree of fall protection provided the
following points are taken into account:
• Persons should be properly trained and supervised in the use of the equipment.
• Persons using fall protection such as a fall-arrest harness should not work in isolation.
• A lanyard assembly should be as short as possible and the working slack length not more than 2 m
When used in conjunction with a fall-arrest system to minimize the pendulum effect (belaying).
• The fall-arrest anchorage point (fixed or travelling on static lines) should be located so that the lanyard
can be attached before the user moves into a position where he or she would be at risk from a fall.
Anchorage points should have a capacity of 15 kN.
The components of a fall-arrest system should be compatible. The use of non-compatible components
could lead to ineffective equipment that presents a risk of injury from falling to the person using the
equipment.
A work positioning harness may be used with a short lanyard to restrict free fall to less than 600 mm.

Page 43 of 56
 Site Specific Health Safety
Environment Plan

• DO NOT use scaffold unless you have been trained in its safe use and operation.
• Inspect scaffold before its first use and at the start of each day.
• Do not work in isolation when using scaffolding.
• The WHS Regulations 2011 requires that any scaffold from which a person or object could fall
more than 4 meters must be erected, altered and dismantled by, or under the direct supervision of
a licensed scaffolder. Scaffolding less than 4 m is to be supervised by a competent person. Work
on mobile scaffold above 6 m must be undertaken by licensed scaffolder.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS:
Collapse of scaffold due to overload, sinking into ground, struck by site traffic, insufficient bracing,
unlocked castors.
 Incorrect assembly of scaffolding (insufficient planks, mismatched parts, no guard rails, fittings
unsecured, work platform split or has gaps)
 Material handling hazards (force, posture, lifting, lowering, pushing/pulling and vibration)

 Struck by falling objects

 Slip/Trip/Fall
 Noise
 Exposure to weather
 Sprains/Strains
 Electrocution

PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS:

1. Ensure all components are well maintained. Do not use components that are in poor condition.
2. Do not mix components from differently branded scaffolding systems.
3. Read and follow the manufacturer’s specifications, assembly instructions and warning labels.
4. Inspect scaffold before its first use and at the start of each day. Ensure scaffold remains level and
plumb at all times. Incomplete or defective scaffolds must never be accessed. Use barricades, danger
tags or warning signs to prevent unauthorized access.
5. Ensure edge protection (hand rails, mid-rails and toe boards) is provided at every open edge of a
work platform
6. Familiarize yourself with safe work procedures for the task.
7. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety footwear (with slip-resistant soles),
safety glasses and head protection.
8. Review weather conditions before starting. Do not work during a storm, wet conditions or high
winds.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS:

 Castor brakes are to be applied at all times while the mobile scaffold is stationary.
 Access is to be only by way of an internal ladder. No climbing is allowed on the scaffold itself.

Page 44 of 56
Page 45 of 56
 Site Specific Health Safety
Environment Plan

 Only work on fully planked work platforms. Ensure that working platforms are kept clear of
debris and obstructions along their length. DO NOT leave tools and equipment on
scaffolds.
 Scaffold is not to be moved while workers are on the scaffold work platform.
 Limit the number of workers on a scaffold at any one time. More than one worker should
be present as a safety precaution.
 DO NOT exceed the safe working load of the scaffold.
 DO NOT to make any unauthorized alterations to the scaffold (such as removing guard rails,
planks, ties, toe boards and braces).
 DO NOT permit workers or other persons to stand directly below a scaffold.
 DO NOT drop materials from the platforms.
 DO NOT fix high voltage leads and cables to the scaffolding.
 NEVER use ladders or makeshift devices on top of scaffolds to increase height
 Adhere to the work practices itemized on the safe work method statement.
 If identified controls are insufficient, cease work, revise processes, implement new controls and
resume work. Document any changes on the SWMS/risk assessment.

HOUSEKEEPING:
 Check and maintain all scaffold parts. Repair or discard and replace any damaged pieces
immediately.
 Lubricate moving parts of all fittings.

LADDERS

Ladders should be designed in accordance with:

• AS 1892.1 Portable ladders Part 1 - Metal

with penetrations or the edge of the floor
2) Only be used in the fully opened position
3) Be of a length that ensures a person’s feet are not positioned any higher than the second top rung.

PORTABLE SINGLE AND EXTENSION LADDERS should be:

• pitched at a slope of 1 horizontal to 4 verticals

• extend 900 mm above the last surface where a person can gain access and should not be used:
- in access areas or within the arc of swinging doors
- on working platforms to gain height above the protected edge
Page 46 of 56
- to support a work platform.

Page 47 of 56
 Site Specific Health Safety
Environment Plan

If a series of ladders are used to gain access to an elevated work position, landing platforms should be
provided at every 6 m interval. The ladder should be secured against movement and supported from a
firm, level, non-slip surface.
Fall-arrest systems should be used by persons using a ladder as a working surface.

Portable trestle ladders should only be used when carrying out light work e.g. painting and should only be
used in the fully opened position. Trestle ladders should not be used where a person can fall 4 m or
more.
Fixed ladders are vertical or near vertical ladders fixed to a structure. Rung ladders should have ladder
cages or persons using the ladder should use fall-arrest systems. A ladder cage or fall-arrest system must be
provided if a person can fall more than 6 m

WARNING SIGNS

Warning signs should be erected to warn persons of the risk of falling from a height. The signs should be
positioned where they will be clearly visible to persons working in the area.

12. WORK ENVIRONMENT

LIGHTING

Lighting at the workplace should be not less than:

• 200 lux for a working area
• 50 lux for stairs or other areas providing access to a working area
