a) WORKING AT HEIGHTS

DURING CONSTRUCTION

WHEREVER POSSIBLE, COMPONENTS FOR THIS BUILDING
SHOULD BE PREFABRICATED OFF-SITE OR AT GROUND
LEVEL TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF WORKERS FALLING
MORE THAN TWO METRES. HOWEVER, CONSTRUCTION
OF THIS BUILDING WILL REQUIRE WORKERS TO BE
WORKING AT HEIGHTS WHERE A FALL IN EXCESS OF TWO
METRES IS POSSIBLE AND INJURY IS LIKELY TO RESULT
FROM SUCH A FALL. THE BUILDER SHOULD PROVIDE A
SUITABLE BARRIER WHEREVER A PERSON IS REQUIRED TO
WORK IN A SITUATION WHERE FALLING MORE THAN TWO.
METRES IS A POSSIBILITY,

DURING OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF WINDOWS, WALLS,
ROOF OR OTHER COMPONENTS OF THIS BUILDING WILL
REQUIRE PERSONS TO BE SITUATED WHERE A FALL FROM
A HEIGHT IN EXCESS OF TWO METRES IS POSSIBLE. WHERE
THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY IS REQUIRED, SCAFFOLDING,
LADDERS OR TRESTLES SHOULD 8E USED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH RELEVANT CODES OF PRACTICE,
REGULATIONS OR LEGISLATION.

FLOOR FINISHES

THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELECTION OF
SURFACE FINISHES IN THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFICABLE
AREAS OF THIS BUILDING. SURFACES SHOULD BE
SELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS HB 197:1999 AND
AS/NZ 4586:2004.

STEPS, LOOSE OBJECTS AND UNEVEN

SURFACES

CONTRACTORS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A
TIDY WORK SITE DURING CONSTRUCTION,
MAINTENANCE OR DEMOLITION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
TRIPS AND FALLS IN THE WORKPLACE. MATERIALS FOR
CONSTRUCTION OR MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE STORED
IN DESIGNATED AREAS AWAY FROM ACCESS WAYS AND
WORK AREAS.

2. FALLING OBJECTS

LOOSE MATERIALS OR SMALL OBJECTS

CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE OR DEMOLITION WORK
ON OR AROUND THIS BUILDING IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE
PERSONS WORKING ABOVE GROUND LEVEL OR ABOVE
FLOOR LEVELS. WHERE THIS OCCURS ONE OR MORE OF
THE FOLLOWING MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
AVOID OBJECTS FALLING FROM THE AREA WHERE THE

HAVE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

BUILDING COMPONENTS

DURING CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION OR DEMOLITION
OF THIS BUILDING, PARTS OF THE STRUCTURE INCLUDING
FABRICATED STEELWORK, HEAVY PANELS AND MANY
OTHER COMPONENTS WILL REMAIN STANDING PRIOR TO
OR AFTER SUPPORTING PARTS ARE IN PLACE.
CONTRACTORS SHOULD ENSURE THAT TEMPORARY
BRACING OR OTHER REQUIRED SUPPORT IS IN PLACE AT
ALL TIMES WHEN COLLAPSE WHICH MAY INJURE
PERSONS IN THE AREA IS A POSSIBILITY.

MECHANICAL LIFTING OF MATERIALS AND
COMPONENTS DURING CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE
OR DEMOLITION PRESENTS A RISK OF FALLING OBJECTS.
CONTRACTORS SHOULD ENSURE THAT APPROPRIATE
LIFTING DEVICES ARE USED, THAT LOADS ARE PROPERLY
SECURED AND THAT ACCESS TO AREAS BELOW THE LOAD
1S PREVENTED OR RESTRICTED.

3. TRAFFIC MANAGMENT

BUSY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION SITES PRESENT A
RISK OF COLLISION WHERE DELIVERIES AND OTHER
TRAFFIC ARE MOVING WITHIN THE SITE. A TRAFFIC
MANAGEMENT PLAN SUPERVISED BY TRAINED TRAFFIC
MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL SHOULD BE ADOPTED FOR
THE WORK SITE.

4. SERVICES

RUPTURE OF SERVICES DURING EXCAVATION OR OTHER
ACTIVITY CREATES A VARIETY OF RISKS INCLUDING
RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. EXISTING SERVICES
ARE LOCATED ON OR AROUND THIS SITE. WHERE
KNOWN, THESE ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE PLANS BUT THE
EXACT LOCATION AND EXTENT OF SERVICES MAY VARY
FROM THAT INDICATED. SERVICES

4. SERVICES (cont.)

SHOULD BE LOCATED USING AN APPROPRIATE SERVICE
(SUCH AS DIAL BEFORE YOU DIG), APPROPRIATE
EXCAVATION PRACTICE SHOULD BE USED AND, WHERE
NECESSARY, SPECIALIST CONTRACTORS SHOULD BE
USED.

OVERHEAD POWER LINES ARE NEAR OR ON THIS SITE.
THESE POSE A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION IF STRUCK OR
APPROACHED BY LIFTING DEVICES OR OTHER PLANT
