Project Management Plan

5.3.2 Procedures and instructions for using fire hose reels
        Use ONLY on fires involving wood, paper and textiles;
        Whenever possible, use two people to operate the hose reel – one person to control the nozzle and the other to ensure the
        hose runs freely off the reel;
        Turn the valve on by pushing the lever down;
        Pull the hose over to the fire;
        Twist the end of the nozzle and adjust the spray pattern;
        Attack the base of the fire; and
        Do NOT use on electrical fires or flammable liquids.


5.4 Structural collapse and/or instability
        This section applies to the risk of collapse, rollover or instability of:
               Formwork;
               Scaffolding;
               Tilt-up and precast concrete panels;
               Structural steel;
               Cranes and major plant; and
               Any other major structural components.
        Where an incident or risk of the above-mentioned nature is identified, relevant members of the project team and other
        persons on site with WHS responsibilities will assess the nature and severity of the risk and:
               Coordinate the evacuation of the immediate danger area (this may include the entire site);
               Barricade the danger area and prevent unauthorised entry;
               Arrange any required medical assistance in accordance with the medical emergencies procedures (Section 6.1);
               Contact emergency services to arrange for the safe extraction of trapped and injured persons; and
               Promptly arrange any immediate rectification work to make the area safe and follow all required protocols (e.g.
               emergency demolition will require notification to WHSQ using Form 66: Notification of emergency demolition – see
               Resources).

        The site evacuation coordinator will oversee the evacuation of the site or relevant area of the site;

        Subcontractors’ supervisors and HSR’s will:
                Assist in the safe evacuation of their work groups;
                Provide assistance in evacuation where required to any person with an impairment or disability;
                Keep a head count of workers once they have reached the emergency assembly area; and
                Inform the site evacuation coordinator if persons cannot be accounted for.
    All persons must:
            Evacuate to the emergency assembly area as indicated on the site map when the evacuation alarm is sounded;
            Respond immediately to the evacuation alarm;
            Evacuate via the fire stairs to the emergency assembly area;
            Not:
