By the completion of this induction you agree to all of its requirements in relation to all National or State OH&S Acts and Regulations. This induction is intended to assist in meeting the joint OH&S responsibilities of Orbit Homes and the people engaged to undertake the required works i.e. Contractors/Suppliers and their employees, contractors or agents. Any site-specific hazards identified by Orbit Homes which are not covered within this induction will be circulated to the Contractor/Supplier prior to that Contractor/Supplier works

commencing to ensure adequate control measures are in place (Eg. Safe Work Method Statement). This information shall be circulated by way of purchase order, email, phone, site meeting, or a combination. Alternatively, if there are any site-specific hazards identified by the Contractor/Supplier you are to report the hazard to Orbit Homes so the proper corrective actions can be taken. If the hazard is of a serious nature that could significantly affect any site personnel whatsoever, we encourage those persons to cease works immediately, cordon off the area (if safe to do so) and alert Orbit Homes immediately so the situation can be rectified.

All scaffolding installed to a working height of 4 meters or above must be installed by a licensed Scaffolder, with a Handover Certificate issued and an identification label (SCAFFTAG) to be displayed on the scaffold (near the access ladder/stairs) to ensure full compliance. Any necessary modifications that are required to be made to the scaffold to enable work to be performed must be carried out by a licensed scaffolder from the supplier of the scaffold to then deem it to comply with appropriate Standards. If the scaffolding requires extensive modifications, the project manager should be advised immediately. After modifications are performed or the structural integrity of the scaffold has been compromised, the scaffold should be inspected and any concerns rectified immediately. Scaffolding must be inspected at intervals not exceeding 30 days, with issues documented and rectified. The components of the scaffolding system are all necessary to provide the scaffold with the structural integrity and safety required and should not be tampered with and left in an unsafe condition. Full recharges (along with dismissal) will apply if guilty of wilful scaffold tampering.

First Aid If an incident occurs on site that injures a person, provide immediate first aid treatment (IF SAFE TO DO SO), and then refer the injured worker for treatment at the local medical practitioner or hospital. All injuries sustained on site that require at minimum medical treatment MUST be reported to your project manager immediately. All contractors on site MUST have a fully maintained first aid kit on site applicable to the work been carried out on site. Preferably there is a person who is first ais trained from your company.

Roof & Fall Protection Physical fall protection is installed to control the fall hazard where roof and floor construction work is performed. The fall protection is installed by an accredited installation company to conform to appropriate Industry Standards • All heights above 2 meters must have fall protection in accordance with Codes of Practice/Compliance • Do not tamper or alter any fall protection system in place • Let project manager know of alterations required and wait for instruction • Utilise installed access points only i.e. Gates • No works or inspections are to be undertaken without fall protection and a safe work method statement in place.

Compliant

Void Protection Void platforms are installed to cover openings such as stair voids, veranda porticoes and swimming pool cavities. They are an integral control measure for fall hazards. They are installed to comply with Australian Standard AS/ NZS1576.1: “Scaffolding - General requirements”. The installation of the platform consists of an access opening to allow safe access via an industrial grade ladder, the opening access hatch must be kept closed at all times unless being accessed. The void platform once installed MUST not be altered in any way. The protection platforms MUST at all time be kept in a safe workable condition. If for construction reasons the platform requires modification, contact your project manager for advice. NOTE: Any trade that is guilty of tampering with void protection systems or working around an open void will receive an official written warning and rectification recharge as a minimum at Orbit Homes discretion and under no circumstances are works to be performed without void platform.

No Go Zones NO GO ZONES are designated areas that apply to work near OVERHEAD or UNDERGROUND ASSETS. The term “NO GO ZONE” is utilized in order to provide a definition for safety clearances surrounding both overhead and underground services. OVERHEAD SERVICES If you are working with plant near an overhead service, you are required to conform to specific work practices. • Between 0mm to 3000mm including an aerial line into another house a permit from the asset owner is required. This will set out specific requirements that you need to follow • Between 3000 mm to 6400mm from an overhead electrical cable on a pole a spotter is required and 8000 mm if the electricity cable is on a tower line • A safe work method statement must also be developed and followed by all employees. • Any permits or “advice” from the power regulator will be obtained by Orbit Homes, NO works are to proceed if there is no permit or “advice” form on site. If you are working on or installing scaffolding the following requirements apply. A permit to work in the NO GO ZONE if the scaffolding is: • Under 5000mm from top rail to power lines • Under 4600mm from the side of the scaffold to power lines • A safe work method statement must also be developed and followed by all employees. If the design envelope of the plant is able to encroach on this clearance in its working position you MUST adhere to the permit conditions, if no permit is in place then work can not proceed.

ORBIT HOMES VICTORIA

NO GO ZONE Anywhere above powerline and within 3m each side or below

3m 3m

Spotter required at 3.6m to 4m Beyond 6.4m - open area

UNDERGROUND Prior to the commencement of works, you must determine if your work practices are to interfere with underground assets. If so, underground assets are required to be identified and you are to determine if this work will encroach the NO GO ZONE clearances surrounding these services. If you are working with plant near an underground service and following the NO GO ZONE guidance material you may work no closer to the asset than: • 300 mm for individuals and 500 mm for plant and equipment, or • 3000 mm in the case of any assets registered under the pipeline act, or • Any electrical cable with an in-service voltage greater than 66kv • For principle assets requiring significant integrity of the material surrounding the asset, greater clearance may be requiredinformation regarding these clearances can be obtained with the initial asset location enquiry.

Emergency Procedures In an emergency, the first response should be the care and wellbeing of the injured person as well as your own safety. The Orbit Homes signage will have directions on what to do in an emergency. We suggest that you enter the local emergency medical numbers and the number of your project manager into your mobile phone. In an emergency remain calm and if calling the Emergency Services (000) be prepared to give them the following information: • Exact address of the accident • The telephone number you are calling from • The number of injured people • Is the injured person conscious? • Is the injured person breathing? • The type and extent of injuries • State if other emergency services are required • Answer any further questions. • Stay at the scene until given permission by the Emergency Services to leave- do not disturb any evidence unless it is to minimize harm or deal with the emergency itself. • Do not alter incident area. Once practical to do so you need to notify either your project manager or the OHS manager about the incident. Orbit Homes will depending on the incident carry out an investigation in the aim of looking at ways that we can avoid the accident from happening again. Orbit Homes looks at a “no blame” investigation process to ensure we can re educate all involved.

Incidents & Dangerous Occurrences If an injury or serious incident (e.g. falling brick wall or pit collapse and near misses) does occur onsite you must notify an Orbit Homes employee. You should also ensure that the incident scene following a serious injury or dangerous incident is not disturbed until advised otherwise or by Worksafe or a representative of Orbit Homes – this does not apply if the disturbance is as a result of attending to an injured person. Severe penalties apply if they fail to report incidents to the government authorities and/or disturb an incident scene following a ‘reportable’ incident. If you are an employer of another person working on site, then you may also have responsibilities under the OH&S (Incident Notification) Regulations to report serious injuries and dangerous occurrences to Worksafe. In some cases both the principal contractor and the employer of the injured person may be required to report. First seek advice from your or OH&S Manager without fail.

ORBIT HOMES VICTORIA

SERIOUS INJURY If any of the below serious incidents/injuries occur on site you must notify either the project manager and or the OHS manager when practical to do so; • On the death (including if the worker was on site but passes away later) or serious injury of any person • Immediate treatment as an in-patient in a hospital • Immediate treatment with a registered medical practitioner for the following types of injuries • The amputation of any part of his or her body • A serious head injury • A serious eye injury • The separation of his or her skin from underlying tissue (such as degloving or scalping) • An electric shock • A spinal injury • The loss of a bodily function • Serious lacerations

DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE The trade contractor or subcontractor must notify the principal contractor (Orbit Homes) of the following dangerous occurrences if they expose a person in the immediate vicinity to an immediate health or safety risk. • The collapse or failure of an excavation or any shoring supporting an excavation • The collapse or partial collapse of any part of a building or structure • An electric shock • An implosion, explosion or fire.

Personal Protective Equipment Use safety and other protective equipment when and wherever required and maintain it in good working order. Each individual Contractor, Trade and their employees are responsible for the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any faults or defects of any equipment should be reported immediately.

Manual Handling Manual handling covers a wide range of activities including lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, carrying. It often involves tasks that may be carried out that are not suitable to execute in a manual capacity. There are many situations that direct manual handling can be either eliminated or drastically reduced by alternate methods or by employing mechanical equipment. If the load is too heavy or unsafe to manually lift, then seek instruction from your project manager or supervisor. Following are some CORRECT LIFTING TECHNIQUES: • Use mechanical equipment where necessary • Plan the lift by estimating the load and knowing exactly where it is going to be placed • Ensure that access to the area is clear • Avoid lifting excessively heavy loads • Bend your knees and keep your back straight • Hold the load as close to your body as possible • Avoid twisting while lifting or carrying

Safe use of Ladders All ladders must conform to the Australian Standards and be of industrial grade quality. When in using extension ladders they must be secured and protrude 900mm above the stepping off point as well as set up securely with a 1-4 ratio. No tasks are to be undertaken while working off a ladder unless 3 points of contact can be maintained. Safety Platform Ladders will provide a safer means of access other than using a frame ladder.

Hours of Work All council by-laws will be adhered to during weekdays and weekends. In the event works outside of normal working hours are required, approval must be obtained from the project manager. When working outside standard working hours the following will be adhered to: • Your project manager must be notified prior to commencement of any works on sites. Incl. type of work and duration • In the event of an incident please ensure an adequate first aid kit and contact details are on site • A minimum of two persons on site at all times unless there is a lone worker safe system in place • When working outside normal hours mobile communication must be available at all times • A text message or a phone call must be made to the Orbit Homes Project Manager upon arrival and departure if outside standard site working hours
