3.3. Process for Identifying OHS Risks

The process for identifying OHS risks can be broken down into the following steps:

 Identify the hazards. This involves identifying all of the potential hazards that could
cause harm to workers. Hazards can be physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, or
psychosocial.
 Assess the risks. This involves assessing the likelihood and severity of each hazard. The
likelihood of a hazard occurring can be rated as high, medium, or low. The severity of a
hazard can be rated as high, medium, or low.
 Control the risks. This involves implementing controls to reduce the likelihood and
severity of each hazard. Controls can be engineering controls, administrative controls, or
personal protective equipment (PPE).
 4

 Review the controls. The controls should be reviewed regularly to ensure that they are
still effective (Salgın, 2019)

3.4. Identify 3 OHS Risks

 Falls from height

6. Strategies for overcoming

6.1. Identify 3 possible delays to the project

 Change in project scope: The scope of a project can change for a number of reasons, such
as changes in the client's requirements, changes in the regulatory environment, or changes
in the availability of materials.
 Delays in permits and approvals: Some projects require permits and approvals from
government agencies or other third parties.
 Weather delays: Weather can also delay a construction project. For example, if it rains or
snows, it can make it difficult to work on the site. (Megha and Rajiv, 2013)

6.2. Suggest a methodology for controlling the delay

 Weather delays: Use of contingency plans.

a. Delivery

Some of the access issues associated with the delivery of plant and equipment used for the
construction of a house are:

 Size and weight of the equipment: The size and weight of the equipment may restrict
access to the site. For example, a large crane may not be able to fit through a narrow gate
or driveway.
 Access roads: The access roads to the site may not be wide enough or strong enough to
support the weight of the equipment.
 Parking: There may not be enough parking space for the equipment on the site.
(Machinery, Plant and Equipment (Labour Administration and Inspection), 2023)
b. Operation

Some of the access issues associated with the operation of plant and equipment used for the
construction of a house are:
 11

 Space requirements: The equipment may require a lot of space to operate. For example, a
concrete mixer needs a large area to mix and pour concrete.
 Noise levels: The equipment may generate noise levels that are too high for residential
areas.
 Vibration: The equipment may cause vibration that can damage nearby structures.
 Dust: The equipment may generate dust that can be a nuisance to neighbors. (Machinery,
Plant and Equipment (Labour Administration and Inspection), 2023)

9.3. On your site plan locate the plant and equipment and plan for their installation or use.

a. Demolition marked up drawings

 Hydraulic excavator: The excavator can be used to demolish the existing structure. It can
be positioned in the center of the structure to access all sides.
 Crane: The crane can be used to lift heavy objects, such as demolition debris. It can be
positioned outside the structure to avoid damaging it.
 Roll-off container: The roll-off container can be used to collect demolition debris. It can
be positioned near the excavator to make it easy to load and unload. (Facilitator, 2023)

b. Construction marked up drawing

 Concrete mixer: The concrete mixer can be used to mix concrete. It can be positioned
near the foundation to make it easy to transport the concrete.
 12

 Concrete pump: The concrete pump can be used to pump concrete to high places. It can
be positioned near the foundation to make it easy to pump the concrete.
 Scaffolding: The scaffolding can be used to access high places. It can be positioned
around the foundation to make it easy to build the structure. (Facilitator, 2023)

9.4. Compliance issues for plant with relevant authorities.

Some common compliance issues include:

 Plant registration: In some cases, plant may need to be registered with a relevant
authority before it can be used. For example, cranes and hoists must be registered with
WorkSafe Australia.
 Inspection and maintenance: Plant must be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure
that it is safe to use. The frequency of inspections and maintenance will vary depending
on the type of plant.
 Training: Workers who operate plant must be trained in how to use it safely. The training
requirements will vary depending on the type of plant and the specific tasks that the
worker will be performing.
 Labelling: Plant must be labelled with appropriate safety warnings. The warnings must be
clear and easy to understand. (Safeworkaustralia, 2012)

Hiring and purchasing plant:

 Identify the need for plant: The first step is to identify the need for plant.
 Obtain quotes from suppliers: Once the need for plant has been identified, quotes should
be obtained from suppliers.
 Select a supplier: Once quotes have been obtained, a supplier should be selected..
 Execute a lease or rental agreement: Once a supplier has been selected, a lease or rental
agreement should be executed. (Victoria University, 2018)

9.6.1 Relevant arrangements to manage payments and monitor losses.

 Payment schedules: Payment schedules should be agreed upon between the contractor
and the client at the start of the project.
 Retentions: Retentions are sums of money that are withheld from payments to the
contractor until the project is complete.
 Performance bonds: Performance bonds are guarantees that are issued by a third party.
Loss prevention plans: Loss prevention plans should be developed to identify and
mitigate the risks of losses.
 Loss monitoring systems: Loss monitoring systems should be implemented to track and
report on losses. (Clough et al., 2015)

10. Construction operations

10.1. Systems you have to record materials entering and leaving the site.

a. Explain ownership

The ownership of materials entering and leaving a construction site is important for a number of
reasons, such as:
 14

 It helps to ensure that the materials are being used for the intended purpose and that they
are not being stolen.
 It helps to track the materials throughout the construction process, which can be
important for quality control and cost management.
 It can help to identify any potential liability issues in the event of an accident.

There are a number of different ways to track the ownership of materials on a construction site.
One common approach is to use a materials tracking system. This type of system typically
involves using barcodes or RFID tags to identify the materials, and then tracking their
movements through the construction process. (Melbourne.vic, 2021)

b. Explain contract

There are a number of different ways to track the ownership of materials on a construction site.
One common approach is to use a materials tracking system. This type of system typically
involves using barcodes or RFID tags to identify the materials, and then tracking their
movements through the construction process. In Australia, the following construction operations
systems are typically used to record materials entering and leaving a school demolition and
reconstruction site:

 Materials tracking system: This is a computerised system that uses barcodes or RFID tags
to identify materials and track their movements through the construction process.
 Materials log: This is a simple list of the materials that are entering and leaving the site,
along with the date and time of each entry or exit.
 Contract: The contract between the owner of the site and the construction contractor
should also specify the ownership of materials entering and leaving the site
(Melbourne.vic, 2021)

10.2. OHS procedures for all site personnel

The following are some of the construction operations OHS procedures for all site personnel in
Australia regarding school demolition and reconstruction:

 Pre-start safety meeting: A pre-start safety meeting should be held before any demolition
or reconstruction work begins.
 15

 Safe work method statements (SWMS): SWMS should be developed for all demolition
and reconstruction work.
 PPE: All personnel working on the demolition or reconstruction site must wear
appropriate PPE. PPE should include hard hats, safety glasses, steel-capped boots, etc.
 Confined spaces: Any confined spaces on the demolition or reconstruction site must be
identified and assessed.
 Moving machinery: All moving machinery on the demolition or reconstruction site must
be properly controlled.
 Waste disposal: All waste materials must be disposed of in a safe and environmentally
friendly manner.
 Emergency procedures: Emergency procedures must be in place in case of an accident or
other emergency. (Zou and Zhang, 2009)

10.3. What risk management techniques will be applied to this project?

 Hazard identification and risk assessment: This is the first step in any risk management
process. It involves identifying the hazards and risks associated with the project, and then
assessing the likelihood and severity of each hazard.
 Risk control: This involves implementing control measures to reduce the risks associated
with the project. Control measures can include engineering controls, administrative
controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
 Monitoring and review: The risk management process should be monitored and reviewed
regularly to ensure that it is effective. This involves reviewing the hazards and risks, and
then adjusting the control measures as needed. (Managing Risks | Safe Work Australia,
2023)

11. Communication strategies

11.1. Communication strategies with the subcontractors and the importance of the
following

a. Induction

All subcontractors should be given an induction that covers the company's safety procedures and
the specific hazards of the site. Inductions are an important part of any safety program. They
 16

provide an opportunity to introduce new employees to the company's safety procedures and to
the specific hazards of the site. (Maliha et al., 2021)

b. Toolbox meeting

Toolbox meetings should be held regularly to discuss safety issues and to ensure that everyone is
aware of the latest changes. Toolbox meetings are an important way to communicate safety
information to employees. They are typically held on a weekly or monthly basis, and they
provide an opportunity to discuss the latest safety issues and to answer any questions that
employees may have. (Maliha et al., 2021)

c. Safety walks

Safety walks should be conducted regularly to identify and address any potential hazards. Safety
walks are an important way to identify and address potential hazards on the construction site.
They should be conducted regularly by a qualified person, such as a safety officer. (Maliha et al.,
2021)

d. Site diaries

Site diaries should be kept to document all safety-related activities. Site diaries are an important
way to document all safety-related activities. They should be kept by a qualified person, such as
a safety officer. (Maliha et al., 2021)

12. Procedures and strategies to comply with OHS regulations including

12.1. Emergency response

The Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act 2011 sets out the requirements for
employers to have an emergency response plan in place. This plan should include:

 A list of potential hazards and risks in the workplace

 Procedures for responding to emergencies, such as fire, accidents, and natural disasters
 Contact details for emergency services
 Training for employees on how to respond to emergencies
 The emergency response plan should be reviewed regularly and updated as needed.
(Safeworkaustralia, 2012)
 17

12.2. Hazard and risk management

Hazard and risk management is an ongoing process that involves identifying, assessing, and
controlling hazards in the workplace. This process should be documented and reviewed
regularly. The following steps can be used to manage hazards in the workplace:

 Identify hazards. This can be done by conducting a hazard identification and risk
assessment.
 Assess the risks associated with each hazard. This involves considering the likelihood
and severity of the hazard.
 Implement control measures to reduce the risks. Control measures can include
engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
 Monitor and review the effectiveness of the control measures. (Law And Regulation |
Safe Work Australia, 2023)

12.3. Accident reporting

a. Near miss
 Near misses are accidents that did not result in injury or damage, but could have done.
They are still important to report because they can help identify hazards and risks in the
workplace.
 Near misses should be reported to the employer as soon as possible. The employer should
then investigate the incident and take steps to prevent it from happening again.
b. Serious accident
 Serious accidents are accidents that result in injury or damage. They are more serious
than near misses and require a more thorough investigation.
 Serious accidents should be reported to the employer and the relevant authorities as soon
as possible. The employer should then investigate the incident and take steps to prevent it
from happening again.
c. Fatality
 Fatalities are the most serious type of accident. They result in the death of an employee.
 Fatalities must be reported to the employer and the relevant authorities as soon as
possible. The employer must then investigate the incident and take steps to prevent it
from happening again (Safeworkaustralia, 2012)
 18

12.4. Return to work

a. Lost time greater that 1 month

 Assess the employee's medical fitness to return to work.
 Make reasonable adjustments to the workplace. This may include providing the employee
with modified equipment, changing the employee's duties, or providing the employee
with a modified work schedule.
 Provide the employee with support and training. This may include providing the
employee with emotional support, helping the employee to develop new skills, or
providing the employee with training on how to manage their injury. (Law And
Regulation | Safe Work Australia, 2023)
 Monitor the employee's progress.
b. Lost time greater than 12 months
 Assess the employee's medical fitness to return to work.
 Make reasonable adjustments to the workplace. It may involve making changes to the
physical environment of the workplace, as well as changes to the employee's duties.
 Provide the employee with support and training. The employee may need help to
develop new skills, and they may need ongoing support to manage their injury.
 Monitor the employee's progress. (Law And Regulation | Safe Work Australia, 2023)
