2. Prepare site to prevent<br />
accidents<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Inadequate access &<br />
egress<br />
Traffic – Vehicles, person<br />
watching, communication,<br />
traffic <strong>and</strong> machinery<br />
noise<br />
Spills of fuels to the<br />
environment<br />
Erosion of sediment<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Conduct brief site inspection<br />
Provide fencing, barricades, signals <strong>and</strong> danger flags as per regulations<br />
Supply personal protective equipment<br />
Fuels will be kept in a covered <strong>and</strong> bunded area in suitable containers<br />
No chemicals, fuels <strong>and</strong>/or waste will be stored or disposed in drainage lines or unsealed surfaces<br />
Bund volume will be 150% of chemicals stored<br />
A spill kit will be kept on site<br />
Sediment <strong>and</strong> Erosion control devices will be places around storm<strong>water</strong> drains, upslope of site to detour runoff<br />
around the site <strong>and</strong> down slope to prevent sediment-entering <strong>water</strong>ways.<br />
3. Prepare site to avoid<br />
environmental damage<br />
<br />
<br />
Excavation materials<br />
washed down in<br />
storm<strong>water</strong> drain<br />
Possible damage tree roots<br />
<strong>and</strong> subsequent damaging<br />
trees<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Bunding will be provided to stop materials washed down drainage.<br />
Liaise with Local authorities for specific environment issues where applicable (Local EPA, RTA <strong>and</strong> council etc)<br />
Fuels will be kept in a covered <strong>and</strong> bunded area in suitable containers<br />

excavation <strong>and</strong> work<br />
Emission from vehicles <strong>and</strong><br />
machinery<br />
Increase in noise<br />
Visual impacts on residents<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sediment <strong>and</strong> Erosion control devices will be placed around storm<strong>water</strong> drains, upslope of site to detour runoff<br />
around the site <strong>and</strong> downslope to prevent sediment entering <strong>water</strong>ways<br />
Trees <strong>and</strong> vegetation will be barricaded/fenced to prevent damage<br />
Stockpiles <strong>and</strong> exposed areas on the site will be <strong>water</strong>ed or coved to prevent dust generation<br />
Keep work site will be kept tidy<br />
Equipment will have a silencer installed to reduce noise<br />
Noisy equipment will be used as specified work hours<br />
<strong>Waste</strong> will be disposed at the appropriate EPA approved facility <strong>and</strong> documentation kept<br />
4. Prepare access <strong>and</strong><br />
egress for machinery<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Collision with vehicle <strong>and</strong><br />
/ or pedestrians<br />
Damage to property<br />
Damage to trees <strong>and</strong><br />
vegetation<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A traffic management plan will be implemented<br />
Every care will be taken to avoid any property damage.<br />
Be advised if large Tree roots are unearthed <strong>and</strong> a Tree preservation order application lodged.<br />
Vegetated/sensitive areas will be fenced<br />
All damaged property will be repaired by the end of the days work or as soon as possible<br />
Signs advising of traffic changes/increased traffic will be displayed for both vehicles <strong>and</strong> pedestrians
