^ ^ Sufficient maintenance programmes will rectify noisy defective components

/TEM ' This will reduce the frequency of the plants' 'reversing buzzer' sounding whilst ensuring no additionalincreased noises are realised due to 'At Fault' accidents I incidents

Perthwaste Green Recycling plant operators will ensure the following 'Noise Minimisation Measures' areembraced during collections prior to 7.00am:i. Reverse buzzers are manually inactivated (then reactivated from 7.00am onwards)ii. Cab windows are closed (to reduce the impact of any radio emissions)iii. Defensive driving techniques are embraced (smooth accelerating & braking techniques)iv. Bin lifter hydraulics are not fully activated (too slow down collection manoeuvres)v. Engine Revs do not exceed idle limitationsvi. Engine brakes are manually inactivatedvii. Hydraulics & Power Take Off (PTOs) devices are disengaged between travel to next collection

7. PLANT MAINTENANCEPerthwaste Green Recycling Pty Ltd places a high priority on the maintenance upkeep of its plant

In particular, the following internal documents detail the extent of these programmes:

'SOP's - Daily Checks (available to the 'City of Nedlands' upon request)Work Method Statement (WMS) 023 - Plant Repairs & Maintenance Programming (available to the 'Cityof Nedlands' upon request)Mechanical Vehicle Inspection Checklists (available to the 'City of Nedlands' upon request)

Safe Operating Procedure's - Pre & Po Run Vehicle ChecAll operators are required to perform comprehensive pre & post run vehicle inspections in the manner which hasbeen systematically detailed in the applicable 'SOP's.

Strict adherence & monitoring of pre & post run vehicle inspections ensures potential noisy defectivecomponents are realised prior to conducting collections

WMS 023 - Plant Repairs & Maintenance ProgrammingThis procedure provides instruction for the 'Repairs & Maintenance Programming' for all 'Perthwaste GreenRecycling' plant.

Strict adherence to the procedure ensures that all plant is scheduled for servicing within required timeframes,vehicle inspections are carried out in accordance with required timeframes & defective components are repairedwithin reasonable timeframes & according to priority.

The procedure also clearly defines the responsibilities of each personnel to ensure all field service relatedregisters are updated accordingly & the communication pathway to ensure effective programming schedules areupheld to realize & maintain efficiencies.

Any defective component which contributes to abnormal noise levels will be given a priority 1 rating forimmediate rectification.

Mechanical Vehicle speon iecklistsComprehensive periodic vehicle inspections are carried out by Field service Technicians in order to identify earlystages of wear & tear. Whilst it is the operators obligation to detail any defective component immediately to theirrespective Leading Hand & through the defective reporting system, the comprehensive examinations ensuremajor wear & tear issues can be addressed accordingly & identify which operators are meeting their pre & postrun vehicle inspections adequately.

Grea1g SchedesIn addition to the above procedures, all operators are required to grease the components of lifting & packingmechanisms as per rostered schedules to ensure moving bearings remain lubricated to prevent premature wear& tear whilst minimising potential noise related issues.

*AIl the above measures are designed to identify potentially noisy plant components during the infancy stage forimmediate rectification, ensuring community members are not exposed to unnecessary elevated plant noise.

8. PLANT OPERATOR TRAININGAll Plant Operators will be trained accordingly to embrace 'Noise Minimisation Measures'.

All new employees will undertake Driver Assessments to ensure they display defensive driving techniques innoise-minimising braking, accelerating & bin emptying techniques.

The training will cover the following aspects:

Pre & post run vehicle inspections (to identify defective components contributing to potential excessivenoise)Defensive driving techniques (smooth braking & accelerating techniques)Bin servicing techniques (as per 'Safe Operating Procedures')Waste collection routes

> 'Noise Minimisation Measures' will be communicated at Toolbox Meetings & documented on NoticeBoards to constantly remind operators of their obligations whilst conducting collections duringprescribed times

9. TOWN PLANNINGTo minimise waste collection noise from future developments, the City's applicable personnel can seek advice & recommendations from 'Perthwaste Green Recycling' Operations Department as to the appropriate location & configuration of the waste collection points for the development.

10. JUSTIFICATION FOR CLASS 2 WORKSThe class 2 works covered by this NMPexperienced within the designated precincts.

are primarily required due to traffic congestion & access issues

These high traffic count precincts, predominantly from 7.00am onwards, increases waste collection 'OccupationalHealth & Safety' risk for all road users, as well as hampering the flow of traffic causing significant delays,inconvenience & frustration for all road users.

Frustrated road users have the potential to undertake unsafe driving practices, particularly in relation toovertaking manoeuvres in single lane road networks, & engage in unwarranted road rage scenarios.

Many businesses within the precincts commence trading at 7.00am, which results in increased vehicular streetparking & pedestrian movements within the immediate vicinities.

Parked vehicles are often found to block access to bins which impedes & extends collection service times.

Bins serviced prior to 7.00am also allow businesses to return empty bins to storage locations in timely mannerswhich help maintain clean & tidy landscapes.

Collection vehicles can conduct services in a far more effective, efficient & safe manner within the designatedprecincts between 6.00am - 7.00am as opposed to conducting the same collection routes after 700am to thebenefit of all road users.
