3 A 3A 1. With one hand, hold the largest part of the timber firmly on the bench and against the rear fence Make sure your hand is no closer than 150 mm to the blade.

2. Stance should be relaxed but alert and to one side of the blade, (if the saw throws anything out it will go past the body).

3. Operate the saw with firm steady pressure, speed should not be fast The faster the operation - the greater the chance of the saw biting

4. When the saw has passed completely through the timber it has to be brought back to its resting position. Be aware of what has happened to the off-cut (it may be in the way of the blade as it goes back). Keep pressure on the work until the blade is back to its resting position. The on/off switch should then be put in the off position.

5. Keep one hand holding the work until the blade stops running, then check that the blade is not exposed (guard must be down) and that it is safe to place hands in the danger zone to clear away work and off-cut.

6. If you need to continue cutting, make sure the blade is guarded and fully retracted to allow safe movement of the timber along the fence. DO NOT PASS HANDS UNDER THE BLADE WHILE IT IS RUNNING. You should keep hands no closer than 150 mm from the blade while a helper moves the timber along the fence for the next cut.

Inadequately qualified operators

Collapse or Movement of ground

Ensure any local government permits that may be required to perform work are complied with.

Be clear on any Traffic Management plans that are in place and understand how you need to comply with them. Attention shall also be given to ensuring safe movements of pedestrian traffic.

Underground services should be located prior to digging and clearly marked. Exposure of services should be done by hand tools rather than power tools if required.

Ensure work areas are free of debris or clutter that could become a hazard. Eg Power Lines

Make sure plant is in a serviceable condition when it arrives on site. In the case of plant which has been hired or leased, insist that the supplier provides you with a copy of the latest inspection and maintenance record. Make sure all the inspection and service checks recommended by the supplier are carried out at the recommended intervals during the time the plant remains on site. Keep records on any inspections and maintenance to plant carried out while the plant is under your management and control. Make sure plant found to be unserviceable is taken out of operation until it is repaired or replaced.

Mobile cranes with a capacity of more than 10 tonnes and truck-mounted concrete placing booms must have a current plant registration before they can be operated in a workplace. Registration must be current. Details will be recorded on the Lifting Gear Register and Plant & Equipment Risk Management Form.

Check and record all qualifications of operators and ensure they are current & adequate for the work at hand. Where these services are contracted in, the Sub Contractor must provide Safe Work Method Statements and have all his workers read, understood and signed it before working.

Rigging certificates are now issued in 3 classes: RB (basic) which covers steel erection and the setting up of winches, barrow hoists etc, RI (intermediate) which also covers rigging of tilt-up panels, demolition rigging, rigging and cranes and the control of multi-crane lifts, and RA (advanced) which covers all rigging.

Cranes which need a certificated operator include vehicle loading cranes of 10 metre/tonnes capacity or more, (Class CV or any slewing mobile crane class), non-slewing mobile cranes greater than 3 tonnes capacity (Class CN or any slewing mobile crane class), cabin controlled bridge cranes or gantry cranes (Class CB), portal boom cranes (Class CP), derrick cranes (Class CD), tower cranes (Class CT) and slewing mobile cranes (Classes C2 - up to 20 tonnes, C6 - up to 60 tonnes, C1 - up to 100 tonnes and C0 - any capacity).

Hit by Moving Objects

Muscle Strain

Continually monitor that plant is being operated in accordance with the supplier's recommendations and the SWMS. Where, for any reason, the plant is to operate outside its normal conditions or in an abnormal environment, make sure that any additional hazard has been identified and any risk associated with this has been properly controlled.

Make sure plant is left in a properly stowed safe configuration whenever it is unattended. Loads should never be left suspended. Elevating work platforms and earthmoving plant should be fully lowered. Wherever possible, park plant overnight within the properly secured confines of the building site. Where this is not possible, make sure plant is secure against vandalism or joyriding. Where it is necessary to leave plant adjacent to public roads or pedestrian areas, make sure it is securely barricaded and, where appropriate, clearly marked with warning lamps.

Fall from Heights

Muscular & Back Strain, Cuts, Trips, Falls, Falling objects.

Burns, Electrical shock, Eyes, Hearing

Collapse of excavations

Dust & Fumes

Never allow workers to enter a trench or shaft which is greater than 1.5 metres deep unless it has been safely battered back, or it has been properly shored, or the workers are fully protected within a trench shield. Shoring should be positioned and fixed from above, never from below. All timber used in ground support should be at least F8 grade hardwood. Never use softwood because this can fail suddenly without warning, whereas hardwood will start to creak loudly when it is becoming overloaded, warning workers to leave the trench immediately. Make sure all workers in excavations always wear safety helmets. Never leave open excavations unprotected from height falls especially if leaving site for extended periods of time such as overnight.

The condition of soil surrounding trenches and shafts can change quickly due to the soil drying out, changes in the water table or water saturation of the soil. Make sure the soil condition and the state of shoring, battering and trenches walls is frequently checked for signs of earth fretting, slipping, slumping or ground swelling. Where necessary, repair the excavation or strengthen the shoring system from above before allowing work below ground to continue. Ensure PPE is used whilst working around plant & equipment
