OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

POLICY

TBS Pty Ltd Occupational Health & Safety Policy is based on the conviction that the success of operations depends on the

people we employ. The well being of our employees is therefore the major consideration in all Company Operations. Our

people are our most important asset and their safety is one of our greatest responsibilities.

Safety in our company, however, requires a total commitment from all personnel, because lack of safety in both our

demolition, maintenance and contracting operations can put us in breach of the law, put employees of our clients at risk,

and cause serious breaches in our contractual agreements.

By law, we must comply with the provisions of the NSW Occupational Health and Safety Act, which covers both our

employees of client and the general community. We accept that failure to do so, can exact heavy penalties for those who

are in breach of the Act.

Company OH&S Objectives

Induction & training A healthy and safety working environment through increased awareness & commitment Safe systems of work; incorporating site specific safety management planning Hazard identification, risk assessment & implementing controls Safe competent employees committed to the safety & well being of fellow personnel

To achieve those objectives, it is the policy of the company to establish and maintain safety management, training,

development of and adherence to safe work method statements. Implementing operating practices which acknowledge

potential risks, safeguard all people who come in contact with our work at all times.

THERE WILL BE NO COMPRAMISE WITH SAFETY

It is the responsibility of every member of our workforce, together, we will create and maintain through our approach to

accident prevention, risk identification, assessments and control, a safe minimum risk working environment, where

injury, illness, damage to equipment and fire risks are prevented, or at least reduced to an acceptable minimum.

Conducting our operations with safety is vital to the ultimate success of our business and expects all personnel to work

towards achieving a high level of commitment towards safety performance. When decisions must be made which relate

to operating safety, safety must always take precedence over expediency.

SITE SAFETY

MANAGEMENT

TBS Pty Ltd Company Profile Ref: AT0713 Page 26

III. SITE RISK ASSESSMENT

3.1 SAFETY HAZARDS

Hazards can generally be grouped under two headings – safety hazards and health hazards. Some hazards are both safety

and health hazards. Noise for example, can be a safety hazard if it prevents a worker from receiving an auditory warning

of danger, such as an approaching forklift. It can also be a health hazard as prolonged exposure may lead to deafness.

Safety hazards are usually more easily recognised than health hazards.

Safety hazards are those that can lead to injury.

Steps, ladders and other working surfaces such as scaffolds are a common cause of accidents. This has led to the

publication of procedures to secure and use ladders and scaffolds, which make them much safer to work on.

Safety hazards such as slippery floors, confined spaces, machinery and falling objects can cause injuries resulting in time

of work, permanent disability and, in extreme cases, death.

3.2 HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazards that lead to illness or disease also need to be eliminated or minimised. Occupational medicine text books are full

of reports on health disorders caused by work; for example, dust of various kinds causing lung disease, chemicals causing

damage to organs in the body, excessive lifting causing damage to joints, and high noise levels causing deafness.

Whereas a safety hazard leads to an immediately visible injury, a health hazard such as exposure to noise, chemicals,

dust, stress or biological factors tend to result in illnesses, which do not appear until sometime later. Health hazards can

be divided into four broad categories.

PHYSICAL ENERGY: Such as loud and prolonged noise, vibration, heat and cold radiation

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Such as chemical substances, dusts, fumes from various processes such as welding.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS: Such as excessive stress.

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS: Such as bacteria and viruses, mould and mildew, insects, vermin

Health and safety hazards can result in death.

TBS Pty Ltd Company Profile Ref: AT0713 Page 27

3.3 RISK ASSESSMENT

1. Site Specific Risk Assessment

A Risk Assessment is the identification of the hazards present or created in a process or task and an estimate of the

extent of the risk involved.

Risk Assessment is a five stage process;

1. Identification of all possible hazards, which have the potential to cause work place accidents or illness 2. Evaluation of the risk associated with the identified hazards 3. Implementation of measures to control the risks 4. Document adopted work methods stating

a. Identified risks b. Implementation of controls

5. Information made available to all site employees through induction of Safe Work Plans

Work place accidents and occupational illnesses result from definable hazards in the work place, which need to be

recognised, identified and controlled.

Injury and illnesses are caused by definable and identifiable factors in the workplace called hazards. Hazards can be:

1. Physical - meaning we can see them, e.g. A missing safety rail from a stairway 2. Assumption, we can predict their existence, e.g. The presence of radiation

Once these hazards have been identified we are able to recognise the risks and potential danger associated with

exposure to such hazards.

The more we know about hazards, the injuries and illnesses they cause, the more easily we can identify, assess and

control them. By identifying the hazards, we take the first steps to eliminating or controlling then and reducing the

numbers of workplace injuries and illnesses.

3.4 RISK CLASSIFICATIONS

Risks have been classified by the potential to cause incident of, damage, injury or death and the magnitude of the

potential incident.

Risks have been classified by the following

Class 1

Risks that have a potential to cause death, partial or permanent disability to a person, permanent damage to any plant,

equipment or structures

TBS Pty Ltd Company Profile Ref: AT0713 Page 28

Class 2

Risks that have the potential to cause serious injury or illnesses, or major lost in time use of any plant, equipment or

structure

Class 3

Risks that have the potential to cause minor injury, illness or minor damage to any plant, equipment or structure

IV. SAFE WORK PROCEDURES 4.1 Safe work plans & Procedures are developed to:

Comply with statutory requirements (OH&S, Construction Safety Act & AS 2061)

To convey clearly and precisely the intentions and methods of implementing a predetermined sequenced operation.

Promotion and reinforce safety through supplying information to employees, identifying risks, controls, and work

methods associated with the tasks within the process

Document record of;

- The process

- Intended methods

- Identifying all known and possible hazards

- Identification of possible associated risks and classifying the risk as;

Risk Classification:

Class 1

Risks that have a potential to cause death, partial or permanent disability to a person, permanent damage to any

plant, equipment or structures

Class 2

Risks that have the potential to cause serious injury or illnesses, or major lost in time use of any plant, equipment

or structure

Class 3

Risks that have the potential to cause minor injury, illness or minor damage to any plant, equipment or structure

TBS Pty Ltd Company Profile Ref: AT0713 Page 29

Assessment of the potential outcome from, and nomination of the appropriate controls thus minimising the potential

affects from health and safety hazards.

Work plans and procedures may require amendments from time to time to maintain accuracy as a result in a change of

statutory acts, to suit changing or latent site conditions. This will be documented by way of amendment, recorded, and

reissued as revision.

Employees will be inducted in the adopted safe work plan and risk assessment prior to commencement of new work. A

register will be maintained as a record of employees receiving and accepting the safe work plan. This record will include a

copy of the safe work plan attached to the sub-contractor safety induction register.

4.2 Thomsen Building Services Pty Ltd – INDUCTION PLAN

All Thomsen Building Services Pty Ltd site personnel are required to attend a Work Cover Authority Accredited

Occupational Health & Safety induction Course.

Thomsen Building Services Pty Ltd site employees using specific equipment requiring certificates or tickets shall have

current certification (e.g. Ramset tickets). These will be entered into a register of employees and their qualifications /

certification.

The Supervisor should encourage the employees to further their training to expand employee’s skills levels.

Prior to new work commencing the supervisors will review safe work plan and risk assessments in an induction register,

which will be filled with a copy of the safe work method statement.

4.3 BUILDERS INDUCTION

The management of Thomsen Building Services Pty Ltd acknowledges the requirements that all employees working on

site are to attend the builders’ site specific induction prior to commencing work on site. These site specific inductions are

designed to reinforce the requirements for a safe working environment, safe work practices, site conduct and to convey

general information regarding mandatory emergency and evacuation procedures etc

We therefore accept and adopt these procedures as standard procedure for the particular site.

Note: Issued for this specific construction site is the Civil & Civic / Lend Lease NSW Branch Standard. This document

outlines and describes in detail minimum acceptable standard of site related safety.

This document is acknowledged and will be implemented as minimum operating standards.

TBS Pty Ltd Company Profile Ref: AT0713 Page 30

4.4 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

OVERVIEW

All employees will have training in the correct use of personal safety equipment. Training in the use of PPE will be carried

out by competent personnel familiar with the equipment.

It is mandatory to use issues P.P.E

Issued P.P.E will be suitable for the required task being performed

Fill in register of P.P.E issued equipment

When a hazard has been identified and all various levels of control have been looked at without finding a way to

eliminate or control the hazard, the last line of protection is the use of personal protective equipment.

The use of PPE should be regarded as a temporary measure while other solution to the problem is found, or alternatively,

a solution to a temporary hazard.

Supervisors will distribute PPE as to suitable address the hazards associated with the required tasks and ensure that users

are competent in its use. When required, training will be arranged for instruction in the use of specialised PPE (e.g. Fall

arrest equipment)
