Corrective Actions for Shortfalls in SWMS: Work will cease on this project until new controls have been developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders. Once the activities and controls have been entered into the SMWS, work will recommence on the project activities. Any Corrective Actions will be recorded into the Incidents, Hazards & Corrective Actions Register and this will then be checked against the SMWS.

16




9 Planning Works Process Structural collapse caused through works not being planned properly

Damage to crane Damage to structures Injury to persons

VL VH 25 • Prior to lifting any tilt-up or precast element, the erector must be provided with:

- project design engineers certificate of compliance

- manufacturers certificate of compliance

- component schedule must be provided by the precaster and must include - Project name and address - Element designation - Element mass - Concrete strength required at the

time of erection for the element and, where applicable, the bracing footing

- Type, capacity and length of the lifting inserts

- A diagram of the rigging system(s) between crane and precast element for both rotation and erection.

(Shop drawings may be used to form the component schedule).

• The planning process should take into account:

- Site limitations - Local street access - Element size - Crane size, mobility and access - Casting sequence - Overhead obstructions, including

overhead power lines. • The erector must nominate one person

in the erection crew to be directly responsible for the direction and co-ordination of the erection sequence and to ensure it is erected in accordance with the designers and manufacturer’s instructions

• This person must hold a rigging certificate of competency in either the Intermediate Rigging or Advanced Rigging certificate classes.

20




• At least one of the erection crew, preferably the rigger in charge of the crew, should have been trained in the Industry Standard for Precast and Tilt-Up Concrete for Buildings.

10 Location crane Crane not sited in appropriate

area Crane not suited to tasks

VL VH 25 • crane selection, access and siting in accordance with AS 2550 or the most recent equivalent

20

11 Crane not located with sufficient area to slew/rotate safely

VL VH 25 • the crane should be located with consideration given to the erection sequence of the concrete

• elements to avoid any possibility of the rear of the crane slewing into braces supporting previously

• erected concrete elements

20

12 Crane strikes other crane (where two or more cranes are working on site)

VL VH 25 • where two or more cranes are operating they should be sited so as to prevent them operating in each other’s airspace.

• where this is not possible, procedures must be established to prevent unplanned contact between cranes

20

13 Ground conditions Recent civil works on ground e.g. trenching, backfill

Injury persons Tipping of crane/unstable during lift

VL VH 25 • ground support conditions and the location of any excavations or underground services likely to be adversely effected by imposed crane loads

• Compaction test to be done and report from a civils engineer

• Extra timber pads or road plates under outrigger pads

• Steel plates, packing (pigstying or cribbing) will be used if operator has concerns regarding stability of crane

• Dogman/Rigger to guide crane into position

20

14 Erection Platform Structural Collapse VL VH 25 • Before erection commences ensure that the erection platform (e.g. floor slab, suspended slab, surrounding ground) can safely carry the construction and erection loads.

• Backfilled excavations and trenches should be identified and assessed.

20




• Additional measures such as the provision of timber mats, may need to be taken to ensure that any backfilling can support the construction and erection loads

15 Delivery of precast elements Electrical hazards Unstable ground conditions

VL VH 25 • The precaster must ensure that the transporter has detailed instruction on how to enter the site.

• Ensure that there are no dangers such as backfilled excavations or overhead services/underground services

• Ensure all deliveries to site have enough clearance between load and overhead services Distance from 132,000 volts 3m, 132,000 to 330,000 volts 6m, 330,000 volts and over 8m

• The area to receive the delivery vehicle should be firm and level.

20

16 Panel modification compromising structural integrity

VL VH 25 • Modifications to precast elements should only be carried out with the approval of the project design engineer.

20

17 Inadequate temporary storage facilities, including racking systems, suspended floors or beams

VL VH 25 • Collapse may occur when concrete elements are inappropriately stored on suspended floors or beams.

• Approval from an engineer is required before the temporary storage of concrete elements on suspended slabs or beams.

• Where this approval is not obtained, the concrete element must be returned to ground level.

20

18 Panel inspection Structural collapse VL VH 25 • Upon delivery to site manufacturer’s certificate of compliance (birth certificates) must be obtained.

• Nominated person in charge to take control of the installation/erection.

• Nominated person in charge to ensure precast elements are erected in accordance with the designers & manufacturer’s instructions.

• Shop drawings & installation plans must be on site prior to installation.

• Panels must be checked regularly for defects including cracks, or structural damage of any type.

20




19 Pre start check / set up crane (with Fly Jib - as required)

Failure of crane during tasks due to poor maintenance/failure to perform proper checks prior to commencing work

VL VH 25 • Complete Daily Pre- start check list • Check Spill kits kept in cranes to contain

spills. • Check condition of fire extinguisher • Make sure safety boots are free of mud

and oils • Only a certified operator may operate the

crane (except where an operator is in training under correct guidance).

• Crane to have a current “Green Sticker” • ensure required documentation is available

in the crane. • The operator should also be aware of the

Plant Risk Assessment for the crane. • Check crane computer and all crane

functions. • Configure crane and attachments using

manufacturer’s procedures performed by competent Dogman/Rigger only

• Extra timber pads or road plates under outrigger pads - refer Engineers report

• ensure no safety tags on plant • inspect all fluid levels • inspect for fluid leaks • windows and mirror clean • check signage including working load limits

and data plate • inspect structural damage on boom/jib • inspect crane for signs of damage • check tyre conditions (safe and legal) • wheel nuts, spare wheel • inspect robe drums (where applicable) • inspect log book (present and current) • check load charts (present and appropriate

to crane) • inspect ropes, sheaves, hook and block,

load chart, boom, pins, weightometer wires and anchorages (where practicable)

• manual extension jib • visible and current registration licenses and

authorisations • check warning lights/systems are

operational • fire extinguisher/ 2 way radio check • check brakes and communications • Lift study to be completed prior to significant

20
