25.01.2022 re you ready for Storm Season? In the past 7 years, Queensland has been hit by more than 50 significant natural disasters resulting in devastating loss of life and more than $14 billion in damage to public infrastructure. As the most vulnerable state in Australia to natural disasters, it’s incredibly important to take steps to prepare.... Police are encouraging you to make ‘WHAT-IF’ plan for possible disasters in your area, as well as taking preventative steps to make your home and business more disaster-resilient. When a storm does hit, remember one thing NEVER TOUCH A FALLEN POWERLINE! All powerlines should be treated as live and call emergency services for help.

24.01.2022 DON’T LET ANYONE (or anything) DULL YOUR CHRISTMAS SPARKLE Falling off ladders while putting up Christmas lights and decorations cause the hospital emergency departments to surge with holiday decorating injuries. Each year, the number of hospital cases rise. The typical injuries include lacerations, falls, and back strains. But there are more serious injuries, including broken necks to broken hips the consequences can be catastrophic.... Always select the correct ladder for the job. Always place your ladder on level and firm ground Ensure the ladder can support your weight and the weight of the load you are carrying. Check the ladder’s maximum load rating before climbing. Make sure your ladder has slip resistant feet Have a helper hold the bottom of the ladder Keep ladders away from a door that could be opened Allow only one person on the ladder at a single time Do not stand on the top three rungs of a ladder When you are done with a ladder, put it away immediately. Do not leave a raised ladder unattended. Source: AWFA #getcompliance #laddersafety #12daysofchristmas #behereforyourfamily

21.01.2022 Each year we are still seeing over 40 life changing incidents occur involving electrical workers while they are at work. The harsh fact is that these incidents should not be happening as large majority are avoidable. The impact of the incidents can be life changing to the victim, the crew involved and loved ones. It is important to understand the exclusion zones, responsibilities, the risks involved and how to be aware of your surroundings when working a job. ... In this video, Bill Martin tells the story of the aftermath of the electrical incident involving his 17-year-old son, Tim. Tim was a 2nd year apprentice who unfortunately died as a result of a work place incident which started off as a routine task but ultimately cost him his life. Watch ‘Forever Young’ to see the lasting toll it has taken on those surrounding Tim. You know your skill set best, if you need to grow any skills or just a refresher course to keep the facts fresh in your mind, book your training in and get it done before a horrendous situation occurs. Work safe to come home safe.
20.01.2022 PLAYING IT SAFE WITH SAFETY SWITCHES Safety switches are there to protect you, your family and your friends from Electric Shock. This can happen if there is a faulty power point, electrical appliance or you accidently hit a live cable while drilling into a wall. Even though your home has a safety switch installed (which you should check), one may not be enough to protect you from electric shock. This is because a safety switch only protects you if it is on that circuit. Fo...r example, your fridge. Homes built from 1986 onwards were not required to have a safety switch on your fridges power point. To find out all the details regarding the safety of your home surrounding safety switches, visit the Worksafe website: www.worksafe.qld.gov.au/safetyswitches/home Source: Worksafe Qld #12daysofchristmas #safetyswitches #worksafe #getcompliance
19.01.2022 This is a timely warning for all business owners and officers of the PCBU to be proactive about safety within your organisation.

07.01.2022 Safely Light up your Christmas spirit As we begin to decorate our homes for the festive season, Queenslanders are being encouraged to play it safe when it comes to Christmas lights. Non-compliant lights available online and shipped in from overseas are a real problem. They are usually less expensive, but you could pay a high price in the end. Buying Australian-compliant lights might cost a little more, but it’s the safest way to go and you know exactly what you’re getting.... Extra low voltage lights powered by a transformer are a good way to go. They are safer than your traditional 240v lights. Perhaps it’s time to upgrade your lighting ditch the old faithfuls and invest in LED lights which use less energy and last longer. If you’re not willing or able to make the change, unravel your old lights carefully and, before plugging them in, look at the plug, leads and lamp holders to check there are no exposed wires or obvious damage. It’s a good idea to get them checked by a licensed electrician if you have any concerns. The Electrical Safety office has a number of tips about Christmas lights: Only use lights outdoors if they are marked as suitable for outdoor use. Buy Australian-compliant lights and be wary of purchasing non-compliant lights over the internet from overseas. Check old Christmas lights before re-using them. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Don't alter or modify lights. Ensure all lights, extension leads and power boards are suitable for the intended use (e.g. indoor use only or suitable for outdoors). Test your safety switch and smoke detector to make sure they are working. Always turn off decorative lighting before going to bed or leaving your house. Just like electrical equipment and appliances, Christmas lights must meet safety standards and require Australian certification before being sold in Queensland. Buy your lights from a reputable supplier who knows the electrical equipment safety requirements. Always check for the regulatory compliance logo or other Australian compliance marks usually found on a plastic tag near the plug or on the transformer.

05.01.2022 Rural workers are at an elevated risk due to the isolated work locations and difficulty seeing single wire overhead powerlines. Take time to identify the powerlines and mark it on GPS or in an easy visible location during harvest. You are working alone and remote and help is a long way away. That is if you can call for help?
05.01.2022 Always disconnect electricity supply before undertaking electrical work. If electricity supply is required for the electrical work such as testing, wear suitable protective equipment for the prospective fault current. Have a safety observer if the risk assessment places the work as initial high risk. Contact the electrical safety office or Get Compliance for guidance on risk management.

01.01.2022 In Australia, we are lucky enough to have our Christmas Holiday Season during Summer. Although this does mean our fire risk is lower than countries experiencing Christmas in the Winter, we still have to be mindful. A heat source is something as simple as a powerpoint, a candle wax warmer or a candle. Here are some simple tips to reduce risk.... To prevent any fire caused by burning candles always make sure the candle is kept away from anything that can burn. Candles should never be left unattended and they should be blown out before going to bed. You can avoid fire by using a flameless LED candle instead. If you are using a real christmas tree it will need to be kept away from dry areas in which the tree can dry out and be sure to keep the tree moist by watering it daily. When a tree dries out it becomes more susceptible to fire. Most real trees only last up to two weeks so be sure to get rid of your tree right after the holidays. Make sure your tree is not positioned up against power points or power leads Be sure to turn your Christmas lights off before going to bed or leaving the house. They can heat up and become another heat source. #12daysofchristmas #getcompliance #christmastree #keepyourfamilysafe
