FATAL HAZARDS IDENTIFIED

No Fatal Hazard Identified Critical Controls


A risk assessment must be conducted to
identify potential emergency situations,
and an Emergency Response Management
Plan developed, implemented and
Maintained.
• There must be adequate emergency
equipment, including escape and rescue
apparatus (readily accessible and clearly
signposted) and appropriate transport and
Response vehicles.
1 Inappropriate Emergency Response • There must be effective and robust
communication devices and procedures
for the initial notification of personnel of
the emergency situation and for ongoing
Two-way communication.
• Duty cards must be developed that clearly
identify each of the responsible persons,
their duties, functions and reporting
relationships in the event of an
Emergency.
Personnel must not work above two
(2) meters without appropriate
Guarding or fall restraint.
• Personnel working at heights must not
Work alone.
• All safety harnesses, lanyards and
2 Working at Heights accessories must be appropriate to
the type of work being conducted and
Meet the relevant design standard.
• Anchorage points on apparatus should,
where practical, be above the head of
the worker and in any event not below
Waist level.
