      16.3 Removal of lead materials
All works involving the disturbance of lead and lead containing materials are to be performed in compliance
with HB process for removal of lead materials (see Project Risk Assessment – Appendix 1 WHSMP). Prior to
the commencement of works the necessary risk assessment is to be performed and SWMS relevant to the
task are to be submitted for site management approval.
HB Removal of Lead Materials Checklist – (HB-HSEQ-F-071) form is to be utilized throughout the works to
ensure all required steps have been addressed throughout the removal of lead from site. Specific steps
involved include:
          1. Completion of the relevant information regarding lead is documented in the Hazardous
             Substances Register (HB-HSEQ-F-040) for the relevant site;
                a. A risk assessment is to be undertaken by a competent person of all tasks involving lead
                   processes undertaken by HB’ employees. The assessment is to be done when a new lead
                   process starts at the workplace and again within 4 weeks after the process starts;
          2. The completed risk assessment is to comply with the requirements of the relevant legislation
             (e.g. Work Health and Safety Act 2011 Part 3 (QLD & NSW),- VIC OHS Regulation 2007 chapter
             4 part 4.1) and is to:
                a. Identify the lead used;
                b. Involve a review of the SDS or if the SDS is not available a review of the available
                   equivalent information and, where the lead is contained in a consumer package, a review
                   of the package’s label.
                c. Identify whether the job in the lead process is a “lead risk work” for the purposes of the
                   relevant legislation;
                d. Identify the type of atmospheric monitoring required; and the control measures needed.
Regulators require notification of removal of lead work within 7 days of the determination that the removal
work is lead related. All necessary checklists are to be completed by the Supervisor who shall also define the
methodology as well as reviewing and approving the risk assessment and SWMS specific to the task. The Site
Manager/Foreman/HSE Advisor will ensure workers are consulted through site pre-start and tool box talks
prior to all removal works. Any formal inspections, atmospheric monitoring, regulator reporting and high risk
checklist re to have records maintained for a minimum of 30 years.
