been a 10-hour break between shifts.

understanding of their work with us and our clients, which we believe will make your work enjoyable,

all times.
Your supervisor may ask you to show your licence and may also take a copy of your licence.
If you do not have your licence with you at work, your supervisor can refuse to allow you to work.
This is appropriate behavior as there are substantial fines for persons who operate equipment without
carrying their licence with them and for the person who allows them to work without a licence.

WORKPLACE HAZARDS
Any work activities that require operators to lift, carry, push, pull, reach, bend, grasp, hold or restrain
are manual handling hazards.
Manual Handling is a risk when work activities require repetition for a long period of time or where
force needs to be applied for a sustained period.
Most of OnSite Recruitments clients provide relief from manual handling tasks by rotating between
positions. Each member of the team will work equally.
Please review the pictures provided to remind yourself of proper lifting postures.
If you believe that an object you need to lift is outside your capacity because of its weight or its size,
please ask a co-work for assistance.
HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS
Some of OnSite Recruitment’s clients use chemicals in the course of the work.
Generally, speaking these clients work only with candidates who have been specially trained to handle
these chemicals.
These chemicals may be used by OnSite Recruitment’s Candidates and our clients will provide the
appropriate equipment and Personal Protective needs to suit the chemicals that are being handled.
Some of OnSite Recruitment’s clients use chemicals in a more controlled environment, where it is not
likely that our candidates will make direct contact with the chemical. Our clients have copies of
information sheets, called Safety Data sheets available for First Aid purposes.
If you want to review a Safety Data sheet, please ask your supervisor.
In the OHS world the word “plant” refers to machines or anything with an energy source to operate it.
Plant is either fixed – it does not move or mobile it has wheels. Most people think of Forklift Trucks
when they think of mobile plant.
Depending on its function each machine has different safeguards in place to prevent operators from
being injured.
• You should never operate a machine unless you have been trained to operate it.
• You should never interfere with or bypass a safety feature on a machine.
• You must never operate a machine unless you have a licence to operate the machine.
• You must never drive or operate mobile plant without a licence
• You must carry your licence with you every day as you would a car licence.
• If a machine is faulty you must stop work immediately and notify your supervisor.
• If a machine has a tag or notice on it indicating it is faulty you must not operate it.
If you are asked to operate a machine by a client representative and you have not been trained to
operate the machine, OnSite Recruitment will fully support you when you refuse to operate the
machine.
• Please call OnSite Recruitment immediately, if you are asked to operate a machine when you
have not been trained to operate it.
Some of OnSite Recruitment’s clients have a procedure in place for identifying faulty equipment. It is
called Lock Out Tag Out.
A tag is placed on the machine. Sometimes a lock is also placed on the machine.
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Each work place has an arrangement for the movement of vehicles, mobile plant and pedestrians.
Generally, there are lines marked on the road or floor surface of the workplace.
OnSite Recruitment will provide you with information about parking when you first attend a client
workplace.
In some cases, workplaces will have a plan provided to you on your induction.
• OnSite Recruitment expects all of its candidates to abide by the Traffic Management rules in
the workplace where you are working.
• PPE is a must with your own two way radios. The appropriate PPE to be worn will be
discussed at the interview process.
HAND TOOLS
On occasion you will be assigned to work where you will be using hand tools. If you have not
operated the hand tools used at a client workplace, you must ask for training or assistance.
Many people mistakenly believe that hand tools cannot cause injuries. Often hand tools have blades
and other cutting surfaces which can cause significant damage to a thoughtless operator.
You may be expected to wear specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves when
working with hand tools; OnSite Recruitment recommends that you use the PPE provided.
ELECTRICAL TOOLS
On occasion you will be assigned to work where you will be using electrical tools. If you have not
used the electrical tools used at a client workplace, you must ask for training or assistance.
Tools that have a motor have great potential to injure the operator.
You are expected to be aware of your surroundings and the people around you when operating
electrical tools.
Tools that are battery operated fall into this category and the same potential for injury exists with
battery operated tools.
Some electrical and battery operated tools have guards and require constant pressure on the switch to
operate them.
You may be expected to wear specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eyewear
and hearing protection when working with electrical tools; OnSite Recruitment recommends that you use
the PPE provided by the client.
WORKING AT HEIGHT
In Victoria, any height above 2 metres is considered to be Working and Height and special hazard
controls must be in place to work above 2 metres.
OnSite Recruitment works carefully with its clients to ensure that we know the work expected of our
candidates. We will inform you when we know that you will be working at height.
We will not place you at a client workplace when we know that working at height is expected unless
you have the licenses required for working at height.
Ladders, boom lifts and scissor lifts may be used to work at height.
• Ladders must be secured and at the correct angle against a fixed surface.
• Some ladders have brakes attached. You must always engage the brake before accessing the
ladder.
WORKING AT HEIGHT
• You must have the correct high risk licence and be carrying that licence.
• You should not be working alone unless you have been carefully training in the work you are
doing.
• If you are in a boom lift, a spotter should have been assigned to you.
• If there is no spotter available, you should not go up in the machine.
• If you are to operate the machine, you must complete the log book that comes with the
machine before you commence operations.
• If a machine is faulty you must stop work immediately and notify your supervisor.
• If you are operating a boom lift you must wear the safety equipment provided.
• If there is no safety equipment provided, do not operate the machine.
WORKPLACE NOISE
Some workplaces are noisy environments and the client provides hearing protection (hearing PPE).
Your hearing can be adversely affected by workplace noise when you are older if you do not protect it
when you are working.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the least effective form of protection from workplace hazards.
OnSite Recruitment encourages you to make sure that you cooperate with and use all of the hazard
and risk control measures that are available to you in the workplaces where you work.
Most industries have a requirement for wearing PPE as a minimum standard of protection.
Ensure that your PPE is in good condition each time you wear it.
