Overview

This section details the purpose and process of induction and in itself is not part of any Induction.

Before working on site all employees and subcontractors are to complete the on line induction. Records of all

inductions are automatically forwarded to and held by TRH Services.

Policy

TRH Services is committed to providing a healthy and safe work environment through a process of

continuous improvement to their safety management systems. Every practicable step will be taken to

safeguard employees, subcontractors, and the public affected by our activities.

A Safety Management System (SMS) is in place to enable compliance with the Health and Safety in

Employment Act, the Electricity Act, relevant Standards, and our commitment to safety in all our activities.

An Operations Manual which incorporates the requirements of the SMS has been prepared for this site. This

covers all of TRH Services procedures and protocols relating to health and safety, training, compliance with

legislation and documentation related to our work activities and infrastructure. The induction forms part of

this system.

It is the responsibility of all employees and subcontractors to look after their own safety, to report hazards, incidents and accidents, and ensure that their actions do not harm others. Employees are to participate in and abide with the Health and Safety System.

This induction is split into different levels based on the following categories.

1. General – Delivery drivers, waste removal, cleaners, regular visitors, farming

2. Windfarm asset work – Road repairs, electrical reticulation, site building work

3. Turbine work – Any person required to work on a turbine including the tower

4. Principle employees – All full, part time or temporary employees of NWL or TRH Services

Each category includes the requirements from each preceding category.

Aim of this Induction

This induction is designed to:

• Detail the site rules and understanding required to be obtained from the on line induction.

• Induct employees, subcontractors, farmers, suppliers and site visitors into the Safety and Environmental requirements of this site.

Expected Outcome of This Induction

• The promotion of safety at work.

• The promotion of zero accidents in the workplace.

• Protection of the environment.



1. General

All employees, contractors, delivery drivers, farm workers or any other non-escorted person must complete

this section.

1.1 Objectives of this Induction

• To ensure a safe and healthy workplace for all employees, contractors and the public on the Te Rere Hau Windfarm

• To ensure we identify hazards and associated risks present in the workplace.

• Specify behaviour that will eliminate or minimise the risks for you, your workmates and the public.

• Specify behaviour which reduces the risk of damage to plant, equipment and the environment.

1.2 Windfarm Overview

The Te Rere Hau Site consists of 97 wind turbines, with a maximum output capacity of 48.5 MW, sufficient to

power 18,000 homes.

The power produced by the turbines is exported by underground cables to the neighbouring substation for

final connection to the national grid.

1.2.1 Windfarm Operations

The turbines are operated and maintained by TRH Services Ltd. This operation is generally supervised by

the Site Manager or his nominee.

The farm at all times has a designated Site Controller which may be off site outside of normal hours. The

Site Controller has overall control of all activities on site and is responsible for site safety. All turbine control

and active will be coordinated through them.

appropriate. These are to be kept confidential.

• Entry into the site office and workshop during the weekends requires that the alarm monitoring

company is rung when the alarm is unset and voice code is given. The approximate time on site

(when alarm will be reset) should also be given to alarm company and mobile phone contact ,so any

extended period on farm will result in a “check up“ call.

• The alarm should be set by the last person leaving site each day using their personal number code.

• The alarm must be unset at the start of each day. Entry to the site prior to 6.00am in the morning will

require a call to the security company on 0800 111 238 to verify who you are. A voice code will be

requested. The voice code will be changed on a regular basis.

4.3 Daily Planning Meetings

Daily Planning Meetings are held by the Site Manager or other nominated person. These cover the work

activities planned for the day and who is the job leader. They are also conducted to stimulate awareness of

all matters concerning safety, work practices, plant and method improvements. Safety issues raised in these

meetings shall be investigated and actioned as appropriate. A Hazard ID form shall be completed for any

new Hazards identified which shall be documented on the Site Hazard Register.

Staff are encouraged to submit hazard forms to the Site Manager or H&S Rep so that hazards and unsafe

conditions can be investigated and appropriate controls put in place.

The Site Manager or other nominated person is responsible for updating anyone arriving to site of any

warnings or hazards which that person may be exposed to if this meeting has concluded. The responsibility

for updating new arrivals can be handed from the nominated person to the Site Manager if the Site Manager

arrives to site after the conclusion of the meeting.

4.4 Toolbox Meetings

Toolbox meetings and minutes will be completed for any work requiring more than a 2 person team. All other

turbine work must have a Workorder which includes the tool box meeting checklist. The Job Leader is

responsible for controlling access to the work site and updating anyone arriving to the work site of any

warnings or hazards which that person may be exposed to if this meeting has concluded.
