Health and safety contamination procedures 6.1 Overview
This C DWP provides procedures for site personnel working in and around contaminated and/or potentially contaminated soil and water during the excavation works. The following is designed to dovetail with the Construction Health and Safety Management Plan. The procedures have been developed to provide a framework for managing contamination related effects at the site. However, these procedures are not intended to relieve the owner or controller of the place of work of either their responsibility for the health and safety of their workers, contractors and the public, or their responsibility for the protection of the environment. All parties working on the Project shall comply with: • • • • •
Applicable parts of the Health and Safety Policy; Construction Health and Safety Management Plan; Any requirements of WorkSafe New Zealand; The Health and Safety at Work Act 2016 and Regulations; and Any other applicable legislation, regulations, codes and guidelines.
Sub-contractors engaged on the project are required to provide their own Health and Safety Plan for their equipment and workers. Daily toolbox meetings are to be undertaken and documented by the Health and Safety Officer (HSO) or delegate.
6.2 General safety requirements and training All personnel shall be required to participate in a site induction that includes a review of procedures with respect to contamination. The induction shall be provided such that all relevant personnel understand, prior to commencing work, what procedures are to be implemented and why. The purpose of the induction is to educate the workers with respect to the hazards associated with contaminated soil and water, safe working procedures, safety equipment and requirements, and the response plan in the event of an emergency. An appropriately qualified HSO, or similar, shall be appointed for the duration of the works so that where contamination is being managed, there is a designated person responsible for the implementation of and adherence to contamination related health and safety procedures, in addition to the other site specific health and safety requirements. The HSO shall ensure that all relevant personnel are familiar with the application and use of required PPE and procedures specified in this C DWP and other site specific documentation prior to the commencement of work. The following general safety procedures shall be followed by all personnel entering and/or working in the construction zone: • • Page 27
