HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSULTATION

Employers are obliged under The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, to consult with and take account of any representations made by employees regarding health, safety and welfare. The School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering ensures that health and safety is an agenda item at all meetings and ensures that working groups are appointed to deal with certain health and safety items if required. A nominee from the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Terry O’Reilly, sits on the Health and Safety Team for the College of Engineering & Built Environment. This team meets periodically throughout the year every two months. Consultation takes place when there is a change, update or modification to a particular work process, when new machines or processes are introduced or when new substances or materials are introduced. The College of Engineering & Built Environment Health and Safety Team has selected and appointed Safety Representatives. Details of current Safety Representatives may be found on the health and safety website (www.dit.ie/safework)

PROVISION OF INFORMATION

aff, students and others are made aware of safety matters by the following means:

• Agenda item at Team/School meeting • Health & Safety notice boards • • Health & Safety Induction • Health & Safety Training courses • School Website: http://www.dit.ie/electricalelectronicengineering/healthandsafety/ • Signage:

o Safety notice points o Emergency first aid procedure signs o Emergency floor plans o Assembly point maps o Fire actions notices

• Emergency Response posters • Safety booklets • Website www.dit.ie/safework • Inductions are prepared and delivered by Occupational Health Officers where requested • Student Handbooks

HEALTH AND SAFETY RESOURCES

The School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering codes all budgetary spend on activities/spend pertaining to safety, health and welfare. Considerable resources are expended by the School in securing the health, safety and welfare of employees in terms of personnel, time, materials, equipment and the purchase of goods and services.

Where additional equipment, training etc. is required whether as a result of ongoing risk assessment or legislative change, resources will be allocated on a prioritised basis to meet the identified requirements.

The health and safety website hosts a reference library of videos, texts, literature and other publications on health and safety matters.

SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK

It is the policy of DIT to ensure that employees are not asked to perform tasks outside their competence and capacity. Safe systems of work have been designed with this objective in mind. As some work activities give rise to risks which can only be controlled by adherence to proper procedures, employees are issued with written safe working procedures which should be adhered to at all times. The Standard Operation Procedures abd Safety Manuals are appendices to this statement and are also available on the School website. Management shall keep a watching brief on safety matters and where necessary adjust or alter systems of work to make them as safe as is reasonably practicable.

PROCUREMENT CONTROL

The purchasing of equipment, plant and substances is subject to the provisions of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and associated regulations, thus all equipment, plant or substances will undergo risk assessment prior to acceptance into the Institute. The School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering follows all the guidelines as per the Parent Safety Statement and ensures that a risk assessment is carried out before any equipment/machinery or contractor/service provider is engaged by the School.

INSPECTION PROCEDURES

All locations of work will be periodically inspected by a representative from the Health & Safety Office accompanied by local management and the Safety Representative. The Head of School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Michael Conlon, will ensure non-conformances identified are rectified and a log maintained. Where in the opinion of the Health & Safety Officer or other competent officer, there is a risk of serious injury and immediate risk to individuals, he/she will have the authority to advise that the activity is stopped until adequate steps have been taken to eliminate risk or if possible reduced to an acceptable level. Where the risk cannot be reduced to an acceptable level and finance is not available, the Head of School, Michael Conlon, shall ensure the activity is ceased. In accordance with statutory requirements, certain examinations, testing and inspections are carried out on specific items. A list of those items, the frequency of inspection and the testing body is presented below: School/Function to list/append full listing

TRAINING

Health and Safety training is a legal requirement specified by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005. It is also Institute Policy that all employees attend such health and safety training and assessment. Please see Health and Safety Training Policy for Staff. Each employee will be made aware of emergency action plans and arrangements pertinent to their workplace as per section 11 of the 2005 Act at induction by completing the online Emergency Response Training (ERT) programme. In addition to our statutory duty to employees, DIT seeks to provide such training as is necessary to enable the students to undertake their studies in a manner which, in so far as it is reasonably practicable, is safe and does not give rise to risks to health or expose the individual student or other persons to unacceptable levels of risk. The provision and extent of any necessary training is dependent upon the nature of the academic discipline being pursued, the experience and disposition of the students involved, their familiarity with any equipment/substances to be utilised, the environment/conditions where the activities may be discharged, and the extent to which supervision is necessary and available. Risk assessments will highlight where additional student training is required. Training required for the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering includes: Mandatory Training:

� Emergency Response Training (ERT) � Manual Handling � Emergency First Aid (1 day) � Legal Update for Managers (for grades V and above)

Specialist Training:

� Gas Safety � Chemical Safety � Evacuation Marshal � Occupational First Aid (3 Day) � Safe Pass

INCIDENT REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION

The Institute has a statutory duty to record all incidents and report certain types of incidents and dangerous occurrences to the Health and Safety Authority (HSA). Therefore all incidents resulting in personal injury, damage to property, dangerous occurrences or near miss e.g. must be reported immediately to your Manager/Supervisor. The incident report form must be forwarded to the Health & Safety Officer within 24 hours of the incident occurring or as soon as possible. Incident report forms are available at the front desk/reception area.

HAZARD REPORTING

DIT recognises the part that its staff/students/visitors and contractors/service providers have to play in the reporting of hazards in the workplace. There is a report form to formally identify and report hazards. If the hazard is a structural issue, it should be reported immediately to the local Building Maintenance Manager and if it is an operational safety issue, it should be reported to local management using the Institute’s Hazard Report Form available on the health and safety website.

MANAGEMENT OF CONTRACTORS/SERVICE PROVIDERS

All work undertaken by outside contractors/service providers on behalf of the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering must be carried out under a Buildings Office Permit to Work.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

It is the policy of DIT to eliminate all hazards where reasonably practicable. DIT will assess what PPE appropriate to the task/work environment is required only as a last resort when further risk reduction is not feasible. All PPE and safety equipment purchased by the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering must be of approved standards and comply with relevant EC Directives regarding design and manufacture. Defects shall be reported to Managers/Supervisors. The various areas where PPE must be worn are outlined in the departmental risk assessments. This is further complemented with signage. PPE shall be provided and worn in designated areas and whilst carrying out specific tasks, based on the risk assessments.


20

All PPE must be appropriate for the risks involved without it leading to increased risk. It should be chosen based on assessment and in consultation with staff members. The PPE should be used only for the purpose specified and where it is necessary to wear simultaneously more than one item of PPE, they must be compatible with each other and continue to be effective against the risks involved. Staff should report immediately when the PPE is faulty or defective or if they have any medical condition that may affect the correct use of the PPE. PPE should be of a type suitable for the conditions in the workplace and take account of the user’s state of health. It is in principle intended for one’s personal use only, however if it is necessary for an item of PPE to be worn or used by more than one person, measures should be taken to ensure that it does not create any health or hygiene problems for the users. The supply, issue and record of all PPE is the responsibility of Supervisors. Employees and students must be informed of all risks they are being protected from, instructed on the use of the PPE and given adequate information, training and demonstration in the wearing of such equipment and the level of protection afforded by its use. Every person provided with PPE must take reasonable care of such equipment and must make proper use of it where there is a foreseeable risk of injury and where they have been instructed to do so. They must also ensure that it is returned to storage subsequent to use. Supervision and monitoring are required to ensure PPE is used/worn. Staff shall inform any person in the area including contractors/service providers, students and visitors of the statutory and local policies in place with regard to PPE. The PPE includes:

• Safety glasses

• Gloves

• Ear plugs

• Protective workshop coats

ERGONOMICS

All new equipment and machines, tools, work methods, work procedures and work stations should be assessed for ergonomic hazards prior to being brought into use. The Health & Safety Officer should be informed of the risk assessment process and will advise of competent people to assist with the risk assessment. Staff should consider ergonomic standards when designing new workstations and layout of new offices. It is the responsibility of the Head of School Michael Conlon to ensure that all information on ergonomic controls is communicated to employees and students via circulars, team briefings or other means. He should also ensure that all problems identified are addressed and brought to the attention of the Health & Safety Officer.

WELFARE PROVISIONS

• Drinking water is available to all staff via water dispensers throughout the building

SENSITIVE WORK GROUPS

Protection of Children and Young Persons In cases where children must be present on Institute premises and therefore affected by our acts/omissions, sufficient notification must be given to the Health & Safety Office by the DIT host representative, of the situation, so that an appropriate risk assessment may be carried out. When on DIT property, the parents/guardians/host representative charged with responsibility for bringing the child onsite, must be responsible for that child and ensure that at all times they are supervised and protected from activities, processes, equipment, machinery, agents etc. Please ensure that all staff are familiar with the DIT Child Protection Policy. Pregnant Post-Natal and Breastfeeding Employees/Students The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, places a duty on employers to assess the risks to determine any possible effects on new/expectant mothers resulting from any activity at the place of work.


22

• Each risk assessment will identify hazards in the workplace that could pose a health and safety risk to new and expectant mothers

• Where the assessment reveals a risk, then preventive or protective measures will be taken.

• Pregnant employees/students should advise the Health & Safety Office of their condition as soon as they are aware they are pregnant so that a confidential pregnancy risk assessment may be carried out

• On returning to work/college any new mothers who are breastfeeding and require facilities should contact the Health & Safety Office

LONE AND OUT OF HOURS ACCESS

Out of hours access is not available to the buildings occupied by the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Out of hours access to the Focas Building is provided to some researchers.

WORK PLACEMENT

Work placement fact sheets are available for all host employers/organisations, DIT students and DIT mentors, and must be studied before arranging and undertaking any work placement. The School is required to obtain details of insurance arrangements with host employers.

FIELD TRIPS/TRAVEL

Staff must complete a risk assessment prior to field trips. All field trips and travel proposals must have a risk assessment completed prior to the event.

STAFF/STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Specific risk assessments will be completed to ensure that the health and safety needs of staff and students with permanent/temporary disabilities are taken into account. Preventative and proactive measures will be put in place following the risk assessment if specific hazards are identified. Personal emergency egress plans (PEEPs) will also be prepared if required. The Disability Liaison Officer will provide specialist and competent advice and liaise with the Health & Safety Officer, Occupational Health Officers, College Manager and Building Maintenance Manager. The onus is on visitors with a disability to notify staff at the front desk, who will assist in evacuation if required.

HEALTH SURVEILLANCE

Risk assessments will determine if health surveillance is required. Health Surveillance is made available to all staff appropriate to the health and safety risks present and facilitated by the Health & Safety Office. In certain circumstances, staff and students may be referred to our external Occupational Health Physician for a health assessment in relation to their work/studies to ensure that we can put in place any additional corrective action if required. Eye tests are available for regular visual display unit users at the National Optometry Centre. Please familiarise yourself with the eye test policy which is available on the health and safety website.

WORKPLACE DRUGS, INTOXICANTS AND ALCOHOL


23

An employee/student must ensure that he or she is not under the influence of an intoxicant to the extent that he or she is in such a state as to endanger his or her own safety, health or welfare or that of any other person. Contraventions will be dealt with as per DIT disciplinary procedures.

DIGNITY AT WORK ANTI BULLYING & HARASSMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES

The Institute’s Dignity at Work Anti Bullying & Harassment Policy and Procedures deals with complaints against members of staff in the workplace which also includes work associated events such as meetings, conferences and work related social events, whether on the premises or off site. Bullying or harassment of staff/students will not be tolerated. Please ensure that all staff are familiar with the relevant policy/procedure.

STRESS

The risk assessment will identify any areas where stress is a hazard and controls will be implemented to eliminate this hazard. The HR department should be consulted immediately if an issue regarding stress is highlighted. An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is available to all staff. Students should liaise with their tutors in relation to issues regarding stress. Tutors are appointed for groups of students. Students may also seek assistance from the Student Health Centre and Student Counselling Service.

AUDIT, REVIEW AND COMMUNICATION

The School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering ensures that periodic health and safety audits are completed and a review of all Safety Statements and documentation takes place. This will be approved by DIT SLT Health and Safety Sub-Committee. All changes will be communicated to all staff, students, visitors and contractors/service providers. The most recent revision of all Safety Statements will be available on the DIT safety website and from the School Administrator.

DOCUMENT CONTROL

This document is a controlled document and as such any updates, review and distribution will be in accordance with DIT’s standards for such documents. Only controlled copies will be updated when required. The Head of School Michael Conlon will issue new documents after appropriate consultation and agreement with relevant parties.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL MEASURES

It is the policy of the Institute to identify hazards in the workplace, assess the risk to safety and health and control these risks as far as is reasonably practicable. The Parent Safety Statement outlines the generic hazards, which have been identified and the control measures that are in place. It is incumbent on those responsible for managing their areas of work, at all levels, not merely to observe the arrangements described in the Parent Safety Statement, but to assess


24

their applicability within their area of authority and where necessary to refine and extend them to deal with particular local situations. The management of the Dublin Institute of Technology is committed to ongoing identification of hazards, assessment of the appropriate risks and the introduction of controls to deal with them. Management at all levels have a responsibility to apply this principle within their area of authority. Staff are encouraged to become involved and participate in safety, health & welfare issues. In particular, they are encouraged to identify any potential hazards, which may exist, and to ensure that a risk assessment is carried out. Ongoing hazard inspections will be carried out periodically to ensure that the information is updated, controls are adequate and where necessary the risks are reassessed. A “hazard” is taken to mean “any substance, article, material or practice which has the potential to cause harm to the safety, health or welfare of staff, students, visitors, contractors/service providers in DIT”. Hazards may be classified as:

• Physical

• Chemical

• Biological

• Operational

• Human Factors “Risk” is a measure of the probability of the event occurring and the severity and extent of the injury, ill health or damage it may cause if it did occur. Risks may be classified as:

• High

• Medium

• Low

High Occurrence is probable, and could cause a fatality, serious injury or serious ill health to an individual or group of people.

Medium Occurrence is possible and could cause injury or ill health to an individual or a small group of people.

Low Occurrence is possible but unlikely, only minor injury would be caused and would probably be limited to a single individual.

The classification of hazards should be used to develop the priority of control measures, remedial actions, and the allocation of resources. As a general rule, the control measures will seek to eliminate any risk classified as high and reduce the potential of risks classified as medium or low. Risk control measures are a combination of: Elimination Where the risk is removed Substitution Where the risk is exchanged for one of lesser classification Isolation Where the risk is contained (e.g. Enclosures, guards etc.) Engineering Where common systems are used to protect all exposed to risk (e.g.

Fire alarms, ventilation systems etc.)


25

Personal Protection Whereby the above means, the risk cannot be reasonably be reduced further, but an unacceptable level of risk remains, the team members are individually protected from the risk.

Procedure Where procedural controls are used. This will include procedures such as Standard Operating Procedures and training and the provision of information may apply to any and all of the above control measures.
