20、place Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee, in consultation with HSRs, employees and contractors, are to identify all tasks which involve working at height in the workplace. Examples of working at height tasks include (but are not limited to):§ Working on roofs (see section 6.2);§ Cleanin
21、g windows;§ Air-conditioning maintenance;§ Erecting signs and displays;§ Changing lighting in a theatre or gymnasium;§ Ladder work;§ Working near holes, pits, trenches and shafts; § Working on fragile, slippery or sloping surfaces.6.2 Working on Roofs6.2.1 Fragile or Br
22、ittle RoofsRoofs on which employees and/or contractors are required to work on should be as specified in AS1562 for metal, corrugated fibre-reinforced cement and plastic roofs. Any other roofs should be considered as fragile. Where practicable, the Workplace Manager is to install weight-bearing gril
23、ls above or below fragile/brittle roofs to prevent persons falling. Warning signs are to be displayed at all points of access where a roof or part of a roof comprises fragile or brittle material.Where it is necessary for work to be carried out on a roof containing fragile material, the Workplace Man
24、ager and/or Management OHS Nominee need to ensure the roof is inspected by a contractor to determine the extent of fragile roof material and temporary walkways at least 450mm wide are provided with edge protection.6.2.3 Steep or sloping roofsWhere work is required to be carried out on a steep roof w
25、here the slope exceeds 35 degrees, do not stand on the roof. A steep pitched roof is an inappropriate surface to stand on due to the likelihood of sliding. Schools and other DEECD workplaces with roofs slope exceeding 35 degrees must conduct a risk assessment of the works required and implement appr
26、opriate falls prevention control such as using a pitch platform or scissor lift.7. OHS Risk Assessment working at height 7.1 Employees Working at HeightsNo DEECD employee is to work at a height of 2 metres or above unless their role specifically requires them to do so and the requirement has been ap
27、propriately documented (i.e. in their position description). If an employee is required to work at height, a Task Based Risk Management Form and Safe Work Procedure (SWP) must be developed and the employee is to be trained in the procedure, and deemed competent before the work can be performed. A Pe
28、rmit to Work Working at Heights must also be completed by the employee (see section 8) and signed by the Workplace Manager or Management OHS Nominee. This is to be completed in consultation with:§ The HSRs;§ Employees; § Relevant standards, codes of practice, compliance codes or legis
29、lation.7.2 Contractors Working at HeightsIf a contractor is required to work at or above a height of 2 metres a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) or equivalent must be supplied by the contractor. A Permit to Work Working at Heights at 2 metres or above must also be issued to the contractor and signe
30、d by the Workplace Manager or Management OHS Nominee and contractor.8. Permit to Work Working at HeightsThe Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee are responsible for ensuring the Working at Height Procedure and associated Permit to Work system is followed for all work at height.The Permit
31、to Work- Working at Heights must be signed by the Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee. The original is to be maintained by the contractor/employee completing the work and a copy maintained by the Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee. The original is returned at the completion
32、of work and signed off by the Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee and the contractor/employee. The original copy of the permit is to be filed by the Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee. 9. Controlling Risks Posed by Working at HeightThe Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS
33、 Nominee, in consultation with the HSR and employees are to control risks associated with working at height and document control measures identified from the Task Based Risk Management Form, SWP, SWMS and Permit to Work in the OHS Risk Register.When determining controls to reduce risks, the Workplac
34、e Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee must follow the hierarchy of control outlined in the OHS Risk Management Procedure. Examples of controls (from most to least effective) could include:§ eliminating the need to work at heights (e.g. Installing air conditioning at ground level, redesigning
35、roof guttering systems to eliminate or minimise the need to collect balls or clean gutters);§ providing passive fall prevention systems (e.g. edge protection, roof walkways and elevated work platforms such as scissor lifts, boom lifts and scaffolding);§ installing roof anchor points and us
36、ing work positioning systems such as harness/lanyard for either travel restraint or falls arrest systems;§ providing industrial rated ladders and associated ladder stabilising devices;§ providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, footwear etc).Note: All working at heights i
37、s deemed to be a high risk and therefore the development of a Safe Work Procedure is required for all tasks working a height.9.1 Use of LaddersThe Workplace Manager is to ensure any portable ladders comply with AS 1892. All ladders are to be inspected for signs of damage or wear prior to use and mus
38、t be appropriate for the task. When working at heights, ladders are to be used for access only and must not be used as a work platform.9.2 Safety Harnesses and Anchor PointsSafety harnesses may not be used unless there is at least one other person at the workplace who has been trained and can perfor
39、m a rescue if required. Safety harnesses, lanyards anchorages, etc. should comply with, be inspected, certified and re-certified by a height safety inspector and be used in accordance with the relevant requirements of AS/NZS1891.4:2009 Industrial fall-arrest systems and devices and AS/NZS 4488.2:199
40、7 Industrial rope access systems.For further information on the selection and use of fall arrest devices, the Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee should contact the OHS Advisory Service on 1300 074 715.9.3 ScaffoldingAll employees and/or contractors involved in scaffolding and rigging wo
41、rk should hold the appropriate certificate of competency in accordance with National Licensing Requirements for Persons Performing High Risk Work and the Victoria Certification, Licencing and Qualifications Checklist. For further information, contact the OHS Advisory Service on 1300 074 715.9.4 Safe
42、ly Working at Heights Training The Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee are to make sure that employees who are required to work at height are appropriately trained in a competency-based Work Safely at Heights Training Course (RIIWHS204D). Attendance at other working at heights training s
43、hould be provided where practicable including;§ specific licensing and competency requirements e.g. scaffolding, fall arrest device, etc;§ the prevention of falls through safe systems of work;§ the proper use, care and fitting of personal protective equipment;§ the proper use, ca
44、re and storage of tools and equipment to be used;§ emergency response procedures safe methods of work related to working on brittle and fragile material. Records of this training are to be recorded and maintained by the Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee as outlined in the Induction and Training Procedure. 9.5 Falling ObjectsWhere work at heights may result in the added hazard of falling objects, additional controls may be required. This may include isolating the area immediately below the work and posting warning signs i.e. No Entry areas (see OHS Consultati
