Planning.

Higher level scope of work

Sequencing of Tasks and Milestones

Contractor SWMES for

each step

SOP for each activity, operations

and machines

Review and Consultation

• Each step was reviewed from all perspectives,

• Planners, engineering, contract supervisors, contractors

supervisors, specialists (RPA, OHSS, Electrical etc.).

Review and Consultation

• You have to discuss each aspect of your safety

planning decisions with each of the

stakeholders, at all levels.

• Any one decision or change in planning can

and will affect the safety consequences,

(ventilation and equipment types used for

example)

• Daily consultation during the operation.

Observation and Implementation

• Importance of daily inspections, daily tool box

talks, documentation, (SWP, Excavation

Permits, Isolations) and check lists

• Handing over the site, How and when ie daily,

weekly, for each specific daily task

.

Communication An example

• John,

• Re: Summery of today’s safety walk of the Moata containment tent.

•

Incident reporting When something goes wrong.

• Incident reporting was an integral component

irrespective of the type of workers involved

• How to, chain of command.

• When to, scale of incident and response

• Who to. Contractor supervisor, contract supervisor,

OHSS

The Moata experience.

• No substitution for direct observation by the OHS specialists,

(Observational compliance leads to Operational compliance, “after Geller”).

• Strict routine of pre-start checks and handover procedure

• Work alongside and with contractors and demolition specialists to

understand how and why they work the way they do.

• Set safety standards high and from the start

• Site walkthrough surveys and housekeeping.

• Be flexible on the use of SWMES, allowing them to evolve as the

work progresses. But ensure the changes are documented and

reviewed by all parties.

• Eliminate or Engineer out the hazard first….do not rely on PPE or

administrative measures.

• Be brave enough to stand by your convictions, (not used).

SAFE WORK METHOD AND

ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENTS

What is a SWMES?

• A type of risk assessment that lists each step of an

activity in a logical sequence. Hazards of each step

are identified and control measures specified.

• SWMES are used by to ensure adequate safety and

environmental measures are incorporated into their

jobs.

Development of a SWMES

• Responsibility of responsible officer or

contractor. It must be completed,

reviewed and accepted before

commencement of work

• Needs to be signed off by all people

involved in job prior to commencement

of any work

Purpose of a SWMES

• Identify potential hazards and what could go wrong.

• Assess risks and record how to eliminate or minimise them

• Ensure that all work has been thought through in advance and can be done without risks to health and safety

• Ensure environmental impacts have been considered.

• Provide safe job instruction and standardise job methods

• Establish a safe system of work.

• Document the risk assessment process

Benefits

• simple process for planning for a safe system of

work;

• identifies hazards and ways to manage them;

• allows input from experienced workers;

• ensures that the work team has complete

understanding of the hazards involved in the

job;

• fewer accidents.
