 Conduct internal safety review.
 An internal safety review is required to be undertaken to
 identify potential hazards in the implementation of the
 refuse strategy and risk mitigation opportunities.
 This includes the use of any refuse management
 equipment installed, as well as refuse transfer paths
 Development of policy and procedures
 Must be undertaken after safety review and abide by all
 relevant occupational health and safety legislation,
 regulations and guidelines to ensure site safety for visitors,
 staff and contractors.
 Also includes assessment of any manual handling risks and
 preparation of a manual handling control plan for waste
 and bin transfers.
 Engage refuse collection contractors.
 Private contractor must conduct a site visit for the
 purposes of risk assessing the site prior to conducting
 services. Contractors must ensure that a full risk
 assessment of equipment, surfaces and related gradients is
 complete and procedural documentation is provided to the
 appropriate personnel.
 Install signage in all refuse disposal and storage points.
 Signage is required to be installed to educate building
 occupants on location of disposal and refuse storage
 points. Additionally, to identify the accepted items
 disposed of in each refuse. The installed signage should be
 colour coded in accordance with AS 4123.7 – 2006 Mobile
 waste containers. Examples of signage are provided in the
 appendices.
 Education and Training.
 Provision of equipment manuals, induction, training, health
 and safety procedures, risk assessments and personal
 protective equipment (PPE) to all staff / contractors
 associated with all waste management activities in order to
 control hazards.
 The step is repeated through the operational phase of the
 development as required due to changes is users or
 personnel.
 Consider fit out and move-in refuse.
 Higher volumes of waste are generated during the initial
 move-in or final fit out. This typically includes large volumes
 of cardboard. Additional bins or collections may be
 required. This also applies to refits.
 Baseline Refuse Auditing
 A baseline audit once the development reaches 80%
 occupancy undertaken by a specialist waste consultant is
 recommended to identify refuse volumes and stream
 composition. This information is then used to establish
 potential recoverable material percentage based on initial
 waste practices and set recycling rate targets.
