16.01.2022 Contacted by Maxilift and now implementing WHS Systems for Maxilift at Lonsdale and Regency Park

14.01.2022 It pays to get WHS right. A client of my mine had a catastrophic incident on Monday 4nd September 2017 In November 2017, David was contacted by Hydroil Pty Ltd after they experienced a serious incident when an externally supplied hydraulic pressure vessel failed, causing a serious near miss incident to a number of workers and damaged to two buildings. SafeWorks SA investigated the incident resulting in the issuance of 4 prohibition and 8 improvement notices and another la...ter improvement notice. After David examined the prohibition and improvement notices, in response he drafted a complex engineering-based Investigation Report. This report contained an additional content to appease SafeWorks SA Inspectors enabling the prohibition and improvement notices to be promptly removed. The Investigation Report contained recommendation to improve worker safety, including the need to revise existing machinery based Safe Operating Procedures (SOPS) to high standard/impact SOPS. To ensure the workers were engaged upon the new high standard/impact SOPS, during early morning toolbox meetings, workers were first consulted upon the high standard/impact SOPS, then trained upon the safe work statements within the SOPS. These toolbox sessions included the consequences of serious non-conformances/hazardous behaviours. To ensure workers were engaged upon the high standard/impact SOPS, a Verification of Competency WHS Procedure, was provided together with a supporting checklist to enable line managers to randomly audit workers upon their SOP and validate their knowledge. Finally, David Risk Assessed all hazardous plant, manual handling, staff duties and plant and placed any of these risk assessments with a residual risk rating of moderate of higher, upon our new Hazard Register. It is certainly important to get the WHS System right, as for the time to resolve the 4 prohibition and 8 improvement notices and another later improvement notice it took from 4/9/2017 to 4/2019 to resolve The investigation utilised complex Australian Standards in context of the various regulations associated with AS4343, AS1200, AS1210, AS3920.1 and the general engineering principals of AS4100 and AS3990.

12.01.2022 Just finished a new Induction and Training Handbook specifically to help to Induct and train 24 hour servicing crane operators. The Induction and Training Handbook contains a section titled High Risk Work and enables the employer to progressively Induct and train 24 hour servicing crane operators, during toolbox or down time.
