Item specific findings are presented within part 3.0 of the Height Safety Audit Report Risk Ratings Number of items by Priority Rating Significant Moderate Minor Total Areas 4 14 12 4 Height Safety Audit V30 9 _ Campbellfield Plaza 2.0 Introduction The objectives of this audit are to enable Centre Management and Facilities management to review existing fall prevention and safe access systems. The audit has been devised to create a formal record of the roof areas / site access and fall prevention an d safe access systems. A review was undertaken against the following local legislative requirements: • AS 1657:2018 Fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders • AS/NZS 1891.1:2007 Part 1: Harnesses & Ancillary Equipment • AS/NZS 1891.2:2001 Part 2: Horizontal Lifeline and Rail Systems • AS/NZS 1891.3:1997 Part 3: Fall Arrest Devices • AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 Part 4: Selection, use and maintenance • Local State Workplace Health & Safety Act • Local State Workplace Health & Safety Regulations • Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces: Code of Practice 2018 (QLD) • Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces: Code of Practice 2016 (NSW) • Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces: Code of Practice 2013 (NT) • Managing the Risk of Falls in the Workplace: Code of Practice 2015 (SA) • Prevention of Falls at Workplaces: Code of Practice 2004 (WA) • Prevention of Falls in General Construction 2018 (VIC) 2.1 Risk Management. The audit identifies hazards and control measures that have been prioritised in accordance with o perations requirements. Priority Labelled Colour Risk rating Time frame to Action 1 Significant Immediate Administration controls to be implemented until risk is mitigated 2 Moderate 6 Month Administration controls to be implemented until risk is mitigated 3 Minor 12 Months Administration controls to be implemented until risk is mitigated 5 Height Safety Audit V30 9 _ Campbellfield Plaza 2.2 Risk Assessment. Involves estimating the level of risk – estimating the probability (likelihood) of an event occurring and the magnitude of effects (Consequence) if the event does occur. Essentially risk assessment lies at the heart of risk management, because it assists in providing the information required to respond to a potential risk. In a resource management setting, the risk assessment may be used to help manage, for example: occupational hazards (falling, system failures). Key to risk rating : Significant Moderate Minor Likelihood Very High 100 90 70 50 30 10 High Medium Low Very Low Negligible Negligible Very Small Small Medium Large Very Large Magnitude 6 Height Safety Audit V30 9 _ Campbellfield Plaza 2.3 How to use the audit document, and an explanation example shown below: The map reference number (MR) found in the audit findings corresponds with the same number plotted on the roof layout plans. The MR number plotted on the roof layout plan indicates the precise locatio n of the identified hazard No fall protection to roof edge for gutter maintenance requirements – parapet 800mm high MR - 20 Install guardrail ( 900 mm high) as fall protection to roof edge for gutter maintenance requirements (60m) Appendix 22 Appendix 23 Appendix 24 Priority 1 2.4 Alternative mitigation using the hierarchy of controls can be reviewed. Centre management may review areas of roof that have minimal frequency or plant maintenance access requirements, these areas can be identified as “No Go Zones as an example. 2.5 Disclaimer The assessors believe the information contained within this risk assessment report to be correct at the time of printing.
