Project Management Plan

Subcontractors must ensure that:
       Any equipment and power tools used for cutting and grinding that generate dust at the worksite are fitted with dust
       suppression or extraction.
       Workers are supplied with all necessary PPE (e.g respirators) while cutting and grinding or undertaking other dust
       generating tasks;
       Any dust generated by the use of equipment and power tools is removed at the end of each shift by either;
              Vacuum cleaning with an appropriately classed vacuum cleaner (M or H class will be required for respirable
              crystalline silica)
              Wetting down the dust and sweeping up
              Mopping or wiping down of surfaces



3.8.2 Noise
Subcontractors are encouraged to use plant and equipment with lower noise emissions, and must:
       Supply hearing protection for their workers whether or not the work they are doing at the work site involves powered tools
       and equipment;
       Ensure workers are instructed to carry the supplied hearing protection and use it when the ambient noise is excessive
       (noise levels may be excessive because of other workers or plant operating in the vicinity);

 NOTE: Excessive noise is considered to be 85 dBA over a continuous 8-hour period (or the equivalent level of exposure over
 different timeframes), or 140 dBC peak level (i.e. instantaneous impact noise).
       Not allow the use of plant and equipment with faulty or missing noise suppression if the plant and equipment has been
       manufactured with noise suppression.
       Maintain exclusion zones (i.e. signs and barricading) around fixed areas of the work site where noisy work is being
       undertaken for lengthy periods, if requested to do so by the Principal Contractor.


3.8.3 Heat and sun exposure
To minimise the risks associated with heat and sun exposure, the Principal Contractor will provide the following
   Water coolers (see section on Amenities for locations)
   Undercover lunch facilities
   SPF 30+ sunscreen in toilets/washrooms
   Other (provide details below)
Other (details)

Subcontractors will supply the following clothing and equipment for their workers and ensure it is used as required
   UPF rated long sleeve shirts
   UPF rated long trousers
   Neck flaps (legionnaire’s flaps) or wide brims for hard hats
   Impact rated sunglasses
   Cooling wraps and vests
   Hydration packs (e.g. “Camelbak” type)
   SPF 30+ sunscreen
   Other (provide details below)
Other (details)



3.8.4 Adverse weather and climatic conditions
The Principal Contractor will monitor risks and hazards associated with inclement weather in accordance with the provisions of the
Building and Construction General On-Site Award 2010.
The award defines inclement weather* as: the existence of rain or abnormal climatic conditions (whether hail, extreme cold, high
wind, severe dust storm, extreme high temperature or the like or any combination of these conditions) where it is not reasonable or
it is unsafe for employees to continue working in those conditions.
A decision to stop work in certain areas due to inclement weather will be made in consultation between the Principal Contractor, the
affected subcontractors and their workers (including any HSR where elected).
 NOTE: The award allows for some work to continue during inclement weather (e.g. emergency work and concrete pours) if the
