All about Safety HQSafety HQ

T he group was formed when many of Australia’s largest independent workplace safety distributors identified that many non-safety product

distributors began selling workplace safety products. These non-safety product distributors may have extensive knowledge about hammer-drills, electrical conduit

or paper clips but do they know about workplace safety? Do they have the knowledge to make the correct

recommendations to protect you or your employees in the workplace?

Safety HQ Members have committed themselves to workplace safety through

Hundreds of construction workers are injured or

killed on work sites every year. It doesn’t

have to be this way if Australian safety standards

are upheld

Saving lives

A s at 1 December 2014, 166 Australian workers had been killed while at work in the previous 12 months. And tragically, the construction

industry accounts for a significant percentage of those deaths. In fact, in the five years between 2007 and 2012, 211 construction workers died from work-related injuries. The total number of deaths equates to 4.34 fatalities per 100,000 workers, which is nearly twice the national rate of 2.29. Safety has never been more important in this industry.

So you can understand the frustration of local businesses with products and services focused on workplace safety when they see work sites that put workers at risk. Workplace safety is a complex issue—too large to cover in detail in one article. But we can look at a couple of aspects of workplace safety that should be front of mind wherever you work.

Personal safetyThere is a wide range of Australian standards which can give manufacturers a goal to reach in terms of safety standards for equipment. However, if workers aren’t aware of the standards or are using experience rather than law to guide their choices, they’re going to potentially run into problems. Even for something as simple as appropriate workwear, tradition can work against you if you’re not aware of the products and materials out there that can keep you safe and save you money in the long term, explains Troy McNally of MAK Workwear.

“Take, for example, a customer who purchases a 100 per cent cotton shirt and pants and are using them for such trades as welding—where he’s obviously not wearing any protective coverage over his uniform and the actual arc flash off the welder fades the fabric and makes it really brittle,” he says. “The fabric recommended for that area should be a flame retardant fabric. But some guys, welders especially, constantly buy the 100 per cent cotton clothing, and then wonder why there are holes and why it’s fading. In those circumstances the garment might only last a week, or not even that, depending on how they’re working.”

The importance of the correct material is more than just avoiding a few holes and colour fading. “Flame retardant and

antistatic materials are used in the mining industry, for example,” McNally continues. “Antistatic is basically to prevent any friction or causing explosions where there’s potential gases in hazardous areas. Higher requirements, especially ARC-rated clothing, is also necessary on those sites. It does vary and once again it does come down to the task being performed by the actual wearer. Obviously throughout these industries, there are many different variations of tasks being performed.

According to McNally, clothing requirements do vary a fair bit between companies, the nature of the site and the task being performed, but “it does come down to the safety officer who’s in charge of that business to basically enforce what the guys are to be wearing based on overall Australian and New Zealand standards”.

Fire safetyAdherence to Australian Standards is a big issue around safety. The consensus appears to be that if people just pay attention to them, the majority of safety issues disappear. That appears to be the case with safety equipment such as fire equipment. Different work sites will require different extinguishers (and don’t forget, if you are a self-employed tradesman your car can count as a work site).

The basic standard is AS 1841 and all fire extinguishers that are sold in this country have to comply with that standard. At the end of the day, no fire extinguisher, whether it’s put into a domestic home or commercial application, is mounted and installed without it having complied to the appropriate Australian standard.

The Fire Protection Association of Australia has an excellent website at www.fpaa.com.au which offers technical advice, accreditation and licensing information and more (as well as details of “providers of choice”) to help with any fire safety questions you may have.

Ladder safetyBeyond meeting Australian standards and ensuring you are using equipment correctly, the majority of work site safety is common sense. Where you don’t have specific safety rules to fall back on, all employers have a general duty of care under Section 21 of the OHS Act to provide and maintain a healthy and safe

workplace, systems of work and plant for employees and others. So, even if there are no specific regulations on ladders, the employer must take all reasonable steps to make sure that any risks associated with working on ladders are eliminated or reduced as much as possible.

The general principles for working safely at height involve everyone on site. Being aware of hazards and prepared to address them has led to a noticeable reduction in accident statistics.

According to Gorilla Ladders, “the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare says almost 3500 people are injured every year due to ladder falls. Most injuries can be avoided by ensuring the ladder is safe. Ladders are tools, so you should apply safety rules to them as you do for any other on site tools.”

Gorilla Ladders common sense tips for ladder safety are:n Don’t use a ladder in high windsn Always maintain 3 points of

contact – never stand on the top platform without a harness

n Always wear clean, slip-resistant shoes

n Check your ladder rungs, treads and hinges before you use it

n Use the right ladder – never prop up or artificially extend a ladder

n Always make sure the ladder is on level ground.

Working at heightsAccording to Beaver Brands, when you’re using fall-arresting equipment, it is essential that there be adequate clearance under the area of work so that in the

event of a fall, the user will not strike the ground or any other hazardous objects during the fall.If it is assessed that the occurrence of

a fall would endanger the user then other alternatives of fall protection systems must be considered. This may include the use of shorter shock absorbing lanyards, retracting lanyards or adjustable lanyards. In each case the fall clearance must be identified and the hazards associated with fall clearance eliminated.

The benefits of reducing free fall distances are multiple. If the free fall distance is reduced then the load on the system and the person are reduced, also the recovery method may be simplified.

Wherever possible the attachment point for a fall arrest system should be located above the attachment point on the users harness. When this is not possible the shock absorbing lanyard length must be reduced to ensure that the maximum fall distance of the user is limited to two metres. A user should never climb above the attachment point using a fall arrest shock absorbing lanyard as this only adds to the free fall distance.

On-site safetyEven though safety officers on large work sites are dedicated, sometimes they are not always across changes to Australian standards, says Grant Whitbourn from Pratt Safety, an independent Australian firm which has been supplying safety products for the last 40 years.

So in the case of, for example, portable eyewash stations—a vital safety feature for anyone working with chemicals on a work site—a standard eyewash facility could be a couple of plastic bottles attached to a wall. However Pratt Safety’s SE4050 Gravity Fed Portable Eye Wash unit provides 15 minutes of water flow, as specified in AS 4775 for emergency eye wash stations. “The other product may be cheaper, but if you are in the situation of a large chemical spill, for example, your workers are going to need more than two squeezy bottles of water or saline solution to get the chemicals out of their eyes,” says Whitbourn.

The natural enemy of safety on a large work site, says Grant Whitbourn, is space and cost. “On construction sites, they need a certain amount of real estate to put their site office and materials,” he explains. “We have a range of dangerous goods storage cabinets which cover the flammable, corrosive range of products that get sold onto construction sites or industrial areas or universities, any sort of major science projects like that. We also have a range of gas cages for storing of gas bottles on site, for forklift bottles or plumbers G-sized bottles, aerosol cages for storing of aerosols of any particular type whether they be cans or bottles. We have a range of spill containment covering plastic portable bunding of 200-litre drums down to 20-litre drums, from one-drum tray to a four-drum spill pallet, through an IBC, through a 1000-litre IBC container as well. If people don’t use proper containment according to the standards, accidents can happen. Look at gas bottles for example, they’re just stood up on the wall behind a chain—if there’s a fire they’re going to explode and could turn into a projectile.”

Nowadays, says Troy McNally, there’s more willingness on the part of companies to work with suppliers to make safe gear to order. “We work with safety officers to develop the products and ensure what we have developed for that company is correct and works well,” he explains. “The big brands work with us and that is how we develop new ranges, based on what the market is demanding.”

FALL PROTECTION INTRODUCTIONRisk assessments should be conducted prior to any Work at Height, or Confined Space Work being carried out to identify hazards that exist and the risks they pose.

AS/NZS1891.4 contains a Hierarchy of Control which provides an ideal platform for development of risk assessments. Below find sample Risk Assessment Procedure for working at height.

Reference to local authorities is also recommended.

This table is a sample only, as many other hazard factors can, and will come into account. Other issues to be addressed at this stage include, but are not limited to: Nature of the work, surface materials, fragile roofing material, personal training levels, competency, weather conditions, surface conditions, etc. Reference should be made to AS/NZS1891.4 for the Correct Use, Selection and Maintenance criteria for Height Safety Systems. It is recommended that wherever possible a ‘Restraint technique’ system is used. This is a system where a person using fall arrest rated equipment, is prevented from reaching a position from where a fall is possible.

Fall Arrest – A fall or the arrest of a fall where the fall distance prior the fall arrest system taking any load exceeds 600mm either vertically or on a slope on which is not possible to walk without the assistance of a handrail or hand line. The maximum free fall distance permitted with an energy absorbing lanyard is 2m. (Refer note on fall clearances)

CALCULATIONS FOR FALL AND CLEARANCE

WORKING AT HEIGHTSGeneral principles of Safely Working at Heights

Work sites today pose hazards that can cause serious harm. The responsibility to end each day safely is everyone’s responsibility, employers and employees. An awareness of the hazards at workplaces allows them to be safety addressed.

This principle has been used in many very high-risk occupations for some time, and the benefits have been rewarding with a noticeable reduction in accident statistics. A risk assessment—hazard reduction programme should be used by all working at height. Identification of the hazards is working safely - avoiding injury or death

WORKING AT HEIGHTSGeneral terminology used in Fall Prevention

Restraint Technique – To control a person’s movement by means of a combination of a harness and an energy absorbing lanyard that will physically prevent the person from reaching a position at which there is a risk of a free fall.

Restrained Fall – A fall, or the arrest of a fall, where the person suffering the fall is partially restrained by a restraining device such as a pole strap, or is sliding down a slope on which it is normally possible to walk without the assistance of a handrail or hand line.

Limited Free Fall – A fall, or the arrest of a fall, where the free fall distance prior to the system taking the load does not exceed 600mm.

FALL ARREST CONSIDERATIONSWhen using fall arrest type equipment, it is essential that there be adequate clearance under the area of work so that in the event of a fall, the user will not strike the ground or any other hazardous objects during the fall.

If it is assessed that the occurrence of a fall would endanger the user then other alternatives of fall protection systems must be considered. This may include the use of shorter shock absorbing lanyards, retracting lanyards or adjustable lanyards. In each case the fall clearance must be identified and the hazards associated with fall clearance eliminated.

The benefits of reducing free fall distances are multiple. If the free fall distance is reduced then the load on the system and the person are reduced, also the recovery method may be simplified and time may be significantly reduced.

Wherever possible the attachment point for a fall arrest system should be located above the attachment point on the users harness. When this is not possible the shock absorbing lanyard length must be reduced to ensure that the maximum fall distance of the user is limited to 2m (Consult AS/ NZS 1891.4cl 8.1). A user should never climb above the attachment point using a fall arrest shock absorbing lanyard as this only adds to the free fall distance which may take it over the permitted 2m.
