WRITTEN SAFE WORK PROCEDURE

1. OBJECTIVE
1. To prevent injuries to employees and / or property damage incidents.
2. PROCEDURE

2. Use trained competent employees only.
3. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment i.e.:

3.1. Gloves.
3.2. Safety shoes / boots.
3.3. Overalls.
3.4. Hardhat.
3.5. Hearing protection.
3.6. Eye protection.
3.7. Dusk mask (when required).
3.8. Fall protection (Full body harness).
Prior to work commencement
1. Must have PPE – safety footwear, gloves, hardhat, goggles, face musk, protective clothing etc.
2. Must have appropriate tools and equipment in good condition.
3. Must have weatherproof covers for materials and equipment, waste containers, warning tape.
4. Consider risks and hazards in work area. Refer any concerns to supervisor. Are relevant permits in place?

7. Ensure materials and equipment are secure or removed when site unattended, eg overnight or during breaks.
Hazards
1. Manual handling of materials (Lifting and shifting of materials) LITE to be considered at all times.
2. Fall from height
3. Slips and trips and fall( eg: Un stacked materials, uneven scaffold planks etc)
4. Falling materials (eg: Materials and equipments etc)
5. Collapse of scaffold( eg: insecure ties and bracing , substandard materials etc)
6. Hazards associated with equipment used for lifting of materials, Eg.Vehicle collision
7. Contact with sharp edges of materials.
8. Working at heights.
9. Adverse weather conditions. If any doubts refer to the supervisor.
10. Unsafe stacking of materials.
Harm
Potential Death, Minor/major cuts and contusions, loss of limbs, fractures, concussion to fatality, property damage
Persons in danger
1. Carpenters, Mason, Painters, technicians, erectors etc

2. Co-workers
3. Other workers/visitors in the vicinity
4. Public.
Control measures
No lone working

DATE 05/01/2017
1. Barricade of the entire work area, place a safety watchman to keep out unauthorised persons and place warning signs: -
a. Danger overhead work.
b. No unauthorised entry.
2. All persons working in elevated positions must make use of full body safety harnesses.
3. Never allow any person to use any scaffolding without safe to use sign.
4. Always use scaffold excess ladder to climb onto or from scaffold end never climb up or down using scaffold frames.
5. Always face the ladder and use both hands don’t climb the ladder with things in your hands.
6. Under no circumstances must scaffolds been overload or excessive material been stacked on platforms.
7. Don’t allow accumulation of spillages on platforms do regular clean up and remove spillages from platforms.
8. Never allow throwing of material or equipment up to or down from scaffolds rather use rope and bucket or material hoists.
9. Never allow movement of mobile scaffold while occupied.
