to heritage walls or doors, approval must be sought and yellow tac must be used.
OPH reserves the right to identify further risks and to require the Crew to take all reasonable precautions to protect
staff, tenants, the public, the Heritage fabric and collections whilst work is conducted.
3. APPROVAL
Approval for any works must be obtained from the Heritage or Property Manager prior to the commencement
of work. A work plan must be submitted detailing locations, timeframes, crew size and any requests to move
any heritage object within or from the location.
It is important that the crew recognises the need for public access to OPH whilst work is conducted. To maintain
maximum access to public areas of the building, it may be necessary to carry out some work outside opening hours
of 9am to 5pm. These arrangements should be made prior to work commencing.
4. SUPERVISION
Permission from the Property Manager or Heritage Officer, in consultation with Public Programs, must be
sought prior to work commencing in any public or exhibition area, staff area, or storage area and an OPH Officer
may be appointed to oversee the work.
The relevant OPH Officer is responsible for ensuring that the work is in accordance with the conservation
guidelines. The OPH Officer has the authority to stop work if the guidelines are contravened and work will not
re-commence until approved. Work may be documented for our records and time must be allocated for this process
to be carried out.
The OPH Officer will check that the work is in accordance with the guidelines at regular intervals. If the work is to
be carried out after hours the OPH Officer will appoint an appropriate delegate who will be available in this period
to oversee the project/work.
5. WORK ON THE ROOF
Any work requiring access to the roof must be approved by the Property Manager before
commencing work. Appropriate safety gear must be worn. Security must be notified prior
to contractors accessing the roof. An OPH radio must be carried by the crew.
