The following general safety issues will be addressed on site:
● All lifting appliances and lifting gear shall be inspected by a

competent person (eg. By Main Contractor Safety Officer or
suitably experienced Plant Manager) and certified as having
adequate capacity for their intended purpose.
● All lifting gear should be regularly inspected for damage that may
effect capacity.
● Lifting appliances shall only operate on a firm base of adequate

bearing capacity.
8.2 Personnel and Safety
All new workers and staff will attend the Safety Induction Course before
commencing on site work.
All personnel will wear safety helmet and safety boots. Eye protection
shall be worn by all welders.
All workers must attend the weekly toolbox meetings held on site.
Any unsafe acts or conditions to be identified and corrected promptly or

referred to the respective supervisor. Any accident or incident to be
reported immediately so preventative action can be taken to prevent re-
occurrence.
8.3 Training
All staff members will be briefed on the importance of monitoring on site

safety by the Safety Manager.
9.0 ENVIRONMENT
_______________________________________________________________________
_
________________________________________________________________________
The Section Head will have overall responsibility for the environment.
All new workers and staff will attend the Environmental Induction Course before
