Stormwater Management Plan - Rev 1

    7. Confined Spaces
    Confined space entry procedures are not covered in this manual. It
                                                                                      CHAPTER   3
    is requested that all personnel carrying out maintenance of the SPEL
    StormSack must evaluate their own needs for confined space entry and
    compliance with occupational health and safety regulations
    When maintenance operations cannot be carried out from the surface and
    there is a need to enter confined space, only personnel that currently hold
    a Confined Space Entry Permit are allowed to enter the confined space. All
    appropriate safety equipment must be worn, and only trained personnel are
    permitted to use any required breathing apparatus gear. Necessary measures
    and controls must always be exercised to meet the confined space entry
    requirements. Non trained staff are not permitted to participle in any confined
    space entries.




    8. Traffic Management
    Typically stormwater gully pits are situated on roads and carparks, or
    adjacent to roads in a footpath or swale. As traffic requirements vary
    depending on the circumstance of the site, separate traffic control plans
    should be prepared for each site.
    The specific road safety requirements for each site can be obtained from the
    relevant road authority to ensure all maintenance operations comply with the
    laws and regulations. State government publications can also be useful to
    find out the signage requirements, placement of safety cones and barricades
    that are required when working on public roads.
