Contractor Health and Safety Guidelines word - Waterfront Place

CBRE Health and Safety
Restricted areas are not required to be managed with the same criterion as for a confined space, but
do require a pre-entry risk assessment to identify the hazards, assess the risks and define risk
controls. Should access be required to a restricted area, the contractor must contact CBRE.
WORKING AT HEIGHTS
All work where a fall of greater than 2m may occur (for example work on roofs) shall be performed in
accordance with the relevant state legislation for work at height/safe work on roofs.
Prior to the commencement of working at heights, a “working at heights” permit must be obtained
from CBRE building management. In addition, a risk assessment must be completed by the
contractor for the proposed works.
Such a risk assessment must take into consideration the following:
How work is done
How often the task is complete
The conditions or physical surroundings where such work is undertaken.
Circumstances that should be considered during the assessment include:
The nature, size and layout of the workplace
The duration, extent and type of work to be undertaken. (Example: is just a visual check required
or is installation/repair needed? How long will the job take?)
What height will workers be required to access or undertake work?
Training and experience of employees undertaking the work?
How to get access to the work area (consider terrain, travel distance, ease of access for
equipment)
The number and movement of people and plant on the work site. (Example: are workers or
vehicles nearby that could interfere with fall prevention measures? Do their movements cross
paths with one another increasing the likelihood of a fall?)
Conditions of work (Example: Is it windy or slippery? Is there poor lighting, sloping surfaces etc).
The provision of appropriate fall arrest and prevention devices (i.e. those already in place and
those to be provided by the contractor).
The provision of personal protective equipment to combat glare, thermal stress, noise or other
physical hazards.
The selection and use of fall arrest systems, safety mesh, scaffolding safety nets, guardrails and the
selection of control measures shall be in accordance with the relevant State legislation and Codes of
Practice. All ladders used on site shall comply with ANZS 1892 Portable Ladders.
Contractors shall ensure they have undergone appropriate training for the selection, use and
maintenance of fall arrest and prevention devices. Contractors are also responsible for the training
and instruction of their employees and shall ensure they are provided with the appropriate training.
All tools, equipment and other loose items shall be affixed to the work platform or building at all times.
No material shall be thrown from a height.
WORKING WITH INSULATED SANDWICH
PANELLING
Prior to the commencement of any works involving insulated sandwich panelling (ISP), an ISP Permit
must be obtained from CBRE. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that the ISP Permit
has been appropriate completed, any special precautions listed and the permit authorised.
