AsbestosAsbestos
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 5959
AsbestosAsbestos
Australia has the highest incidence of asbestos-related cancer in the world.
Exposure to asbestos fibres in the air can cause a range of lung diseases and diseases of related tissue, including mesothelioma, a form of cancer which is usually fatal.
Due to the danger that it poses, asbestos has been banned.
However, a large amount of asbestos-containing material is still present in the community and there is a significant risk, particularly for workers carrying out asbestos removal as well as refurbishment and demolition work.
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6060
Building & Structure DesignBuilding & Structure Design
Designers of buildings and structures which are going to be workplaces must make sure that the design does not pose risks to people when using the workplace for a purpose for which it was intended.
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6161
The likelihood of a person being exposed to harm
The potential seriousness of injury or harm
What the person concerned knows, or ought to be known about the risk and any ways of eliminating or reducing the hazard or risk
The availability and suitability to eliminate or reduce the hazard or risk
The cost of eliminating or reducing the hazard or risk
The Designer MUST consider:
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6262
CONFINED SPACES
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6363
Limited means of entry and exit, poor ventilation and the presence of toxic gases and vapours in confined spaces pose serious risks to workers.
CONFINED SPACES
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6464
Examples of potential confined spaces can include: Tanks and silos Pipes and ducts Ovens and chimneys Underground sewers/stormwater pipes/pits Underground wells Shafts, trenches, tunnels and pits
CONFINED SPACES
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6565
CONFINED SPACES
Some of the risks include:
Loss of consciousness, injury or death due to contaminants in the air
Fire or explosion from the ignition of flammable contaminants
Suffocation caused by a lack of oxygen Enhanced combustibility and spontaneous
combustion Suffocation or crushing after being
engulfed by loose materials stored in the space, such as sand, grain, fertiliser, coal or woodchips.
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6666
Cranes and LiftingCranes and Lifting
You must hold a Certificate of Competency to operate any of the cranes or hoists defined in the following list, unless you are working under the direct supervision of a competent person (someone with a Certificate of Competency or equivalent qualification).
There are 14 certificate classes for crane and hoist operation.
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6767
FALLS PREVENTION
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6868
Analysis has shown that the risk of injury from a fall increases significantly for falls from two metres or more.
Falls Prevention
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 6969
Even from a relatively low height, a fall can cause very serious injuries, including fractures, spinal cord injury, concussions and brain damage.
Typical falls that cause death and injury include those resulting from: Using unsafe or incomplete scaffolds Inappropriate ladders/ladder use Falling from or through roofs Falls from trucks Falls into holes, pits or shafts Accessing shelving Accessing mezzanine areas.
Falls Prevention

Sun Sun ProtectionProtection
Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world with more than 380,000 people treated for the disease every year.
Construction workers have a higher risk of skin cancer than many other workers due to long periods exposed to UV radiation from direct sunlight and UV rays reflected from nearby surfaces such as concrete. Studies have shown that construction workers can be exposed to 10 times the recommended daily exposure levels for UV radiation.
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 100100
Muhammad Zafar Iqbal KhanMuhammad Zafar Iqbal Khan 101101
Sun ProtectionSun Protection
Employers should conduct a risk assessment on outdoor work scheduled for the period from September to April, when UV radiation levels peak, to assist in developing appropriate sun protection measures. Employers need to ensure protection measures are implemented.
The most effective way of reducing UV exposure is to use a combination of protection methods such as: Re-organising work to avoid the UV peak of the day. Providing natural or artificial shade. Providing appropriate protective clothing, hats and sunglasses. Applying sunscreen
