    Post Writing A Work Procesure

    WRITING A WORK PROCEDURE

    A safe work procedure should provide clear directions on who should do what when.

    You can develop a procedure from the information provided by taking a statement in the following posts and rewriting it by asking who, what and when.

    Using the example of maintaining climbing equipment and other personal equipment

    Maintenance of climbing equipment

    Who? Workers who use climbing gear

    What? Ropes, karabiners, pole belts and harnesses must be stored securely and checked for integrity

    When? Before the equipment is used EVERY time

    Sample Procedure (key Points)
    1. Climbers employed by Company ABC are responsible for storing their climbing equipment and their personal protective equipment securely
    2. Each worker will be provided with a heavy duty duffel bag for storage of personal gear. No equipment is to be used by any worker other than the person to whom it has been issued
    3. All gear must be checked on site prior to use to ensure it is in safe and serviceable condition
    4. Faults must be reported immediately. Gear showing signs of damage or wear must not be used.


    Involved crew members in developing your procedures. Consultation with workers and health and safety representatives is the best way to guarantee that your requirements will be understood and followed.

    Procedures can be broken down into more specific work instructions if necessary.

    If the procedure is to be part of an auditable system, these additional questions should be asked:
    • has teh procedure been communicated to all workers?
    • is the procedure current? When is it due for review?
    • who is responsible for making sure the procedure is complied with?
    • what do we need to see to satisfy ourselves that teh procedure is being complied with
    • What action should be taken if teh procedure is not being complied with?

    Understand Your Responsibilities

    Employers have the responsibility to provide a safe and healthy workplace. Employees have a responsibility to follow procedures and to cooperate with their employer in making the workplace safe.

    The Employer For example a company that employs a number of crews performing different jobs under the direction of supervisors or a self-employed person who has engaged a crew for a single job.

    Communication

    Communication is vital for safety. In particular, a climber working in a tree must be able to communicate with others in the tree and those on the ground.

    Ground workers in turn must be able to easily alert a person working at height to any problem that arises during work operations.

    Your planning must include identification of possible hazards and assessment of the potential risks to workers and the public.

    The Right Equipment & Facilities

    Safe work relies on workers having the right plant & equipment. Your initial planning must match the job with the right plant, hand tools and personal protective equipment.

    Select the right plant & Equipment for teh type of work. Consider:
    • species, size and condition of tree (s)
    • the operation required i.e. felling, trimming
    • whether available plant and equipment is suitable and in satisfactory working order
    • the possible need to upgrade the plant or to hire different equipment appropriate to teh job
    • proximity of power lines, building or other trees
    • potential difficulties related to entering or climbing the tree
    • possible access problems for elevating work platforms

    Check the Personal Protective Equipment and ensure that:
    • it is suitable to control risks
    • all types of protective gear are up to date and meet required standards
    • all Personal Protective equipment (helmets, hearing protection etc.) has been checked and is free from damage e.g. excessive wear
    • all climbing equipment and hardware is compatible
    • all climbing equipment and hardware has been tested (In addition to daily site checks you should have a maintenance schedule for thorough testing and servicing as per the manufacturer's instructions e.g. every two years)
    • new protective equipment is discussed with workers and suitably fitted

    Decide which amenities should be provided, such as:
    • drinking water
    • washing facilities (particularly if chemicals are used)
    • shelter and protection for temperature extremes

    Check emergency preparedness include:
    • first aid
    • tree rescue procedure
    • emergency communication and contacts
    • work location address (known to all crew members)

    Hold Regular Crew Meetings. Consider:
    • the need for additional or different equipment/ersonal protective gear
    • working conditions
    • unsafe conditions or practices

    Inspecting the tree for unsafe Conditions

    Employees should be trained to identify the hazards which individual trees may present. The checklist below provides examples of what an inspection may reveal. (Note: this should not be used in place of appropriate training)

    Inspect Tree Species and Age - Different species have different characteristics. Some species are more likely to sustain branch failure when under load (e.g. willows, poplars)

    Inspect Health of the Tree Is the tree alive or dead? Is the tree stable in the ground? Diseased branches may give way under load and dead branches may break and fall during climbing or while branches are being trimmed.

    Inspect Condition of the crown Is the crown leaning heavily in one direction? This may create risk when felling or trimming. Are there loose or hung-up branches, vines or creepers, fungal or fruiting growths, nests or insect colonies present in the crown? Trimming may dislodge hung-up branches or foreign bodies, or disturb possums' nests or insect colonies, placing the climber and the crew below at risk. Vines or creepers can also mask structural defects, rot or nests in the crown. These factors may also create problems in locating suitable tie-in points if climbing is required.

    Decay at the base of the tree, in the trunk or in branch forks The tree may split or collapse when climbed or when weight is placed on it's limbs.

    Objects embedded in the tree Wire, nails or spikes may be embedded in the trunk or branches. These are hazardous if a chainsaw makes contact during trimming or section felling operations and could result in 'kickback'

    Proximity of other trees Branches from adjacent trees which intrude into the crown or body of the tree may cause trimmed branches to become lodged or 'hung up'. Trying to free such branches may create risk. Ref: Working safely with trees, WorkSafe, Victorian Workcover Authority

    Managing Traffic

    Traffic includes more than just motor vehicles. In order to maintain your exclusion zone and to keep members of the public at a safe distance, you may, at various times, also need to manage the movement of pedestrians, bicycles, skateboards, scooters and wheelchairs.

    Working in the vicinity of children also presents traffic management problems that must be carefully considered. Work at or near child care centres, kindergartens or schools may need to be scheduled for times when the facilities are not attended.

    It is not enough merely to erect signs and to assume that they will be observed by others.

    • If any tree operation requires a change of traffic direction or vehicle speed limits, full traffic control is required. This can only be performed by a trained person. Training courses are available for traffic controllers and work site traffic management.
    • If 'Stop' or 'Slow' signs are required, traffic controllers must be trained in traffic management and must be able to communicate with one another without difficulty. Two-way radios are necessary if workers cannot see each other.
    • Crews must be provided with appropriate signs and barriers that meet the requirements of Australian Standard AS 1742.3 Field guides are available from Standards Australia for traffic control in different work situations on roads.
    • Traffic must be given sufficient warning. The principal purpose of signs is to alert members of the public to the hazard ahead. Signs help to protect workers and members of the public.
    • Barriers should be used to direct traffic (vehicle and pedestrian) around or past a work site.
    • Responsible crew members must monitor the position of signs and barriers throughout the day to ensure that they remain appropriate, particularly if the location or nature of the work changes.
    • Ground workers must remain watchful for entry into exclusion zone by pedestrians, children or animals.

    Hazardous Substances

    Herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals such as fuels may be classified as hazardous substances and/or dangerous goods. Where there is a requirement to use a chemical at work, you must be aware of it's hazards. Take steps to prevent risk of adverse health effects arising from exposure to chemicals and other risks such as fires or explosions.

    Important information about hazardous workplace substances can be found in material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and on container labels.

    Employers also have a duty to ensure that members of teh public are not exposed to unacceptable chemical-related risks.

    The best way to limit chemicals' potential to harm workers is to seek out chemicals which present least risk but still do the job. Compare information on MSDSs procided by potential suppliers and choose the safest available substance.

    Workers must have ready access to MSDSs and must be made aware of relevant information contained in MSDSs. Use the points below to communicate information at your crew meetings.

    Safe Woking with Hazardous Substances

    • be familiar with the MSDS and relevant first aid instructions for each chemical they use.
    • Recognise the importance of labelling containers, particularly if chemicals are decanted from large containers to small containers for use on the job.
    • Inform householders (and others in the vicinity) of any operation involving chemicals and prevent their exposure to such operations.
    • be familiar with the safest ways to handle and use chemicals e.g. ensure that wind will not cause chemical drift during spraying
    • Wash thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking after handling chemicals
    • Be aware of, and use, teh required Personal Protective Equipment before handling, pouring or spraying chemicals
    • Be aware of disposal requirements and use appropriate disposal procedures to protect the community and the environment e.g. hazardous substances cannot be 'poured away' into gutters or drains, or where children or pets could come into contact with them

    Safe Use of Plant & Equipment

    Machinery Most Commonly used in amenity tree work includes chainsaws, chippers and Elevating work platforms. Each can potentially cause death or serious injury.

    Plant and equipment must be safe to use. All plant must be guarded as far as is practical. Operator competence is critical, as is the selection and maintenance of every item used.

    When assessing safety risks associated with plant and equipment in use, always consider the worst case scenario. If there is a possibility of serious injury or worse, you must consider the plant as high risk equipment and take action to reduce the risks as a matter of priority.

    • 'Kickback' occurs when the upper part of the bar tip of the guide bar contacts a log of another object. You will not have time to react is this happens. Use a good working position, a functioning inertia chain brake and a properly sharpened chain to reduce the risk of danger.
    • Maintain a secure position to prevent the chainsaw from moving unpredictably during cutting. If your body is stable and secure, you have far more control over the chainsaw
    • Chainsaws place considerable strain on arms and back - the further from your body, the greater the strain. There are a number of safe techniques which you should use according to the work situation. It is essential that employers provide appropriate operator training to ensure that employees know how to work safely.
    • You should always use two hands. You may be tempted to operate your chainsaw with one hand to cut a branch at arm's length, but this is not a safe practice.
    • Maintain safe working distances between operators e.g. when more than one worker is crosscutting. Assess the risks each time.
    • Chainsaw maintenance is important. Sharpen the saw and ensure that the chainsaw is correctly tensioned to reduce the likelihood of mishap.

    I know there is a lot of Information there easycare, it is a guide, actually if you really go through it, it's a better guide then I personally origionally thought it was. Keeping it pretty simple really.

    Remember, a chainsaw can be a deadly tool. I don't think we think about that enough, expecially when you have workers with families etc.
