RECOVERY OF BOGGED VEHICLES
Hazard / Risk	Control Measures
HAZARDS Multiple vehicles bogged recovering vehicle rolls. Poor communication / Planning Tow cable snaps All potential hazards have not been documented Correct controls not implemented. Incorrect item of plant used for the recovery Incorrect towing points used Inspection of the attachment points before performing the recovery. Bystander is struck by damaged recovery straps/tow ropes. Vehicle in a location that is congested effecting other works. Workers being struck or runover CONSEQUENCES Serious injury Death Damage to protected water ways and flora and fauna. Potential harm to habitats Plant / Vehicle Damage	Prior to rescue / recovery commencing, the ground conditions must be assessed to ensure no other vehicles become bogged.
	Carry out Risk Assessment to ensure the most appropriate method of rescue / recovery is in use.
	Communication protocols must be established, ensuring they are clearly understood before commencing the recovery. Radio or visual contact is to be maintained at all times between the operators of the disabled vehicle, the recovery vehicle and the person supervising the recovery.
	All ground personnel are to be outside a radius of at least 1.5 times the length of the recovery equipment.
	Only approved retrieval slings & shackles of the correct rating are to be used. Snatch straps and chains such as webbing slings, load resistant slings and rope are NOT USED for the recovery of vehicles and plant.
	Suitability of recovery equipment such as cables, winches and hooks used to tow vehicles and plant are fit for purpose and verified by an independent engineer.
	When recovering loaded vehicles, the mass of the load and the safe working load of the recovery equipment must be assessed and where doubt exists the equipment must be unloaded.
	Where Vehicles and plant are fitted with towing points, the rescue equipment must not be connected to the towing point. As these are rated for towing and not for recovery on ‘bogged’ or stuck vehicles.
	Only engineered attachment points are to be used for the recovery with appropriate supervision. If the attachment points have been damaged, or their effectiveness during the recovery is in question, specialist advice is to be obtained. Towing of bogged vehicles and plant is only undertaken when engineering attachment points and/or other methods are identified and verified.
	Extreme forces are generated during recovery and therefore correct attachment to each vehicle using appropriately rated attachments and recovery points are imperative for vehicle, driver and bystander safety.
	In the first instance attempt to drive out the bogged vehicle or plant either through freeing up or digging out the obstructions and/or via the aid of recovery boards and planks to facilitate grip and traction.
	Any environmental damage caused is to be rectified as soon as is practicably possible.
	On completion, all vehicles or plant involved in the recovery are to be inspected for damage by Plant Personnel, 3rd party workshop or person responsible for vehicles on the project.

Erosion and sediment control plan

 

Key principle No. 3

Develop effective and flexible Erosion and
Sediment Control Plans based on the
anticipated soil, weather, and construction
conditions.

Erosion and sediment control plans (ESCPs)
need to walk a fine line between being formal
plans that site operators must follow, and
being flexible plans that still allow site
personnel to use their ‘common sense’ to:

e Adjust to changing site conditions.

e Focus on the intent of any technical notes
rather than their literal meaning.


[Attachment: image11.png (image text)]
Key principle No. 4

e This principle has many benefits,
including:
— reduced soil erosion

— reduced release of fine colloidal soil
particles that cause turbit runoff

— promotion of the rapid stabilisation and
revegetation of soil disturbances

 

Minimal disturbance of allotments


[Attachment: image12.png (image text)]
Key principle No. 5

e The proper management of stormwater
runoff during the construction phase is
critical to the implementation of effective
erosion and sediment control.

e The importance of stormwater
management generally increases with
increasing rainfall intensity.

e This means drainage control becomes

. ‘ increasingly important the closer you get
ua, to northern Australia.

Diversion of “clean” run-on water

 


[Attachment: image13.png (image text)]
Key principle No. 6

e Soil erosion is the process through which
the effects of wind, water, or physical
action, displace soil particles causing them
to be transported.

e The main factors affecting soil scour are
rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, slope
length, slope steepness, soil cover, and
the surface flow conditions (i.e. flow type,
velocity, duration, and frequency).

 

Hydro-mulching

Blo supplied by Catchments & Creeks Ply Lid 9

Recently stabilised subdivision

Key principle No. 7

e Ahealthy and continuous vegetative cover
is one of the most effective forms of
erosion control.

e¢ Most importantly, vegetation protects the
soil against raindrop impact erosion.

e Vegetation also binds the underlying soil
to improve its structural strength, improves
the soil’s infiltration capacity, and
increases evaporation thereby decreasing
overall stormwater runoff.

Sediment basin

 

Key principle No. 8

e — Itis usually impractical to prevent all soil
erosion on construction sites; thus some
degree of sediment control is always
required.

e The primary purpose of most sediment
control measures is to trap the coarser
sediment fraction.

e Few sediment traps can capture fine
sediments; even fewer can reduce
turbidity levels in stormwater runoff.


[Attachment: image16.png (image text)]
e All ESC measures must be maintained in
proper working order at all times until their
function is no longer required.

e To assist in achieving this requirement,
technical notes and/or construction
specifications attached to the Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) must

Ee specify the maintenance requirements of

Photo suppligtby Catchments & Greeks Pty Ltd all sediment traps.

Site maintenance

 


[Attachment: image17.png (image text)]
Key principle No. 10

e Erosion and Sediment Control Plans
(ESCPs) are living documents that can
and should be modified as site conditions
change, or if the adopted measures fail to
achieve the required treatment standard.

e If a site inspection detects a failure in the
adopted ESC measures, then the source
of this failure must be investigated and

Introduction to construction site erosion and sediment control
r SPs The objective
e To take all reasonable and practicable
measures to minimise short and long-term
soil erosion and the adverse effects of
sediment transport.
e In this context the terms:
— ‘reasonable’ means an action based on
sound judgement and affordable cost;
— ‘practicable’ means an action capable
of being put into practice with the
available means or with reason or
prudence.

Loose mulch displaced by storms

The first rule of ESC

The first thing to acknowledge within the
Erosion and Sediment Control profession
is that there is an exception to almost
every rule and recommendation.

The fact that a control measure is
observed to work well in one location does
not mean that it will work well in another
location.

Similarly, the fact that a control measure
fails in one region of Australia does not
mean that the technique will not be useful
within another region.

Environmental duty

e The Environmental Duty applies to all
persons.

e The Environmental Duty applies to all
activities on a construction site.

e Such an Environmental Duty may be
described in general terms as:

— To take all reasonable and practicable
measures to prevent or at least
minimise environmental harm.

 

Sediment released into ocean

Common sense gone missing!

Application of ‘common sense’

Erosion and sediment control practices
must represent an appropriate balance
between the application of the ideal design
philosophy and the application of common
sense.

No rule or recommendation should be
allowed to overrule the application of a
unique, site specific solution where such a
solution can be demonstrated to satisfy
the principle objective and the specified
performance standard.


[Attachment: image8.png (image text)]
Key principle No. 1

e Best practice development planning
involves the determination of the
appropriate use for a given site and how
best to accommodate that land use within
a development layout.

e To achieve this, it is essential to
investigate the site conditions including
the soil, water, vegetation and topographic
features of the property.

Development integrated into hillside

 


[Attachment: image9.png (image text)]
Key principle No. 2

e During the planning of a building or
construction project, consideration must
be given to how the site layout and
construction process can best achieve the
principal environmental objective of taking
all reasonable and practicable measures
to prevent or minimise environmental
harm.
