PART 1 – GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
About the project The Susan Wakil Health Building is a 22,000m2 8-storey structure, comprising
laboratory facilities and work spaces.
Challenges include operating within a live university facility and being
adjacent to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
Laing O’Rourke is building a world class facility for health disciplines at the University of Sydney.
The Susan Wakil Health Building will bring together multiple health disciplines for the first time in a purpose-built facility to translate research into education and clinical services.
The 8 storey building will see state-of-the-art clinical simulation programs and a multi-service clinic combined with a 350 seat lecture theatre, a rehabilitation gym as well as office, teaching, research, clinical and support spaces.
The heart of the structure will be the Upper Wakil Garden on level 3 - designed to be a respite midway through the building. Outdoor commons will flow out onto the pathways that connect the building to the campus beyond.
The building will have an abundance of natural light due to a carve on the north side that draws daylight while terraces provide access to outdoor space and fresh air for lower classrooms, middle clinical and research spaces and upper offices

Important Safety information Safety Incident management
If a safety incident occurs,
1. Get First Aid
First aid facilities containing major first aid kits are
located at the site office
A list of first aiders can be found on the notice
boards
First Aid register must be completed.
No person is to leave the site for medical
treatment unless they are accompanied and
LOR is notified
2. Leave the incident scene undisturbed
Investigation will be carried out and suitable controls
implemented. The incident scene is to be not
disturbed until all the investigations have been
completed.
3. Report the incident
Your supervisor must be notified immediately of all
incidents, injuries, dangerous occurrences, near hits
and environmental incidents.
Safety Breach procedure
Safety breaches will be dealt with in accordance with the following
procedure:
First breach
Conversation with a LOR representative, worker and subcontractor supervisor regarding the breach. Meeting is recorded
Second Breach
Conversation with a LOR representative, worker and subcontractor supervisor. Written notification will also be given to the subcontractor that a re-occurrence will mean removal from site.
Third Breach
Written notification given to the subcontractor that the worker is to be removed from site.
Deliberate circumvention of safety systems, i.e. removal of penetration covers
with no permit, altering of scaffold or accessing an exclusion zone, will result
in written notification the person or persons will be removed from site.

Construction Hazards Hazards are managed according to the ‘Hierarchy of Controls’:
Highest level of control Lowest level of control
Elimination Substitution Engineering Administration PPE
Working at heights The hierarchy of controls is as follows: 1. EWP’s Scissors and Booms (Competency ticket
required) 2. Mobile scaffolds 3. Step platform ladder 4. Permit required
Work positioning & fall arrest systems are a last resort. Additional training requirements apply, including WAH permit
All plant and equipment must: Be organised prior to arrival to site & Plant Pre-
Mobilisation Checklist Be checked on arrival by LORAC Be inspected daily by the operator and Pre Start
completed Have maintenance records & OEM manual
All plant operators to hold required qualification and have competency verified (VOC).
Plant and equipment
Power tools & Leads Must be inspected and tagged Leads to be suspended above the ground Connected to an RCD Inspected before each use
A safety data sheet (SDS) must be made available for all substances brought onto site.
Chemicals must be stored in their original container and only decant for immediate use
Spill kits must be available
Hazardous Chemicals
Manual Handling Body stressors are the cause of 41% of all seirous worker compensation claims.
Look to eliminate the task, complete it by mechanical means or order materials in smaller quantities or packages. Team lifting is not the first control measure.

Environmental Incident Response Everybody has a duty of care to the environment. We must behave in an
environmentally responsible manner and preserve the environment for future
generations.
An environmental incident is an incident that resulted in, or could have resulted in an injury or illness to people, danger to health, and/or damage to property or the environment
e.g. Chemical, oil, fuel or pollutant
spills
Air pollution from faulty or
unmaintained plant
Excessive dust emissions
Injury or death to wildlife
Unapproved clearing/damage
to protected vegetation
Discharge of contaminated
water offsite
Damage to heritage listed
buildings/culturally significant
sites or objects
What to do
1. Stop work and assess the risk
2. If no risk to personal safety take action to stop, or minimize the effects of the incident (e.g. use of spill kits, fire extinguishers etc.)
3. Secure the area and ensure all personnel or public are out of harms way
4. Administer first aid if necessary
5. Notify site manager
6. Call emergency services if necessary
All incidents/non-compliances must be reported to the site manager and Project Leader immediately.
Emergency Plan In the event of an emergency,
3 blasts of an airhorn will be heard.
Make your way to the muster point using the safest route. Do not leave the
site, and ensure you are accounted for during roll call.
Follow the directions from the evacuation warden
Do not leave the muster point until direction has been given that it is safe to

Industrial Relations Codes of practice and associated guidelines On this project, Laing O’Rourke and subcontractors must comply with the Code for the Tendering and Performance of Building Work 2016 (2016 Code). This sets out the minimum standards Laing O’Rourke need to meet to be eligible for Government-funded building work.
Failure to comply with the Code and its associated Guidelines can have dramatic consequences for employees and our business. Compliance with these Codes and Guidelines is essential.
Freedom of Association Laing O’Rourke is committed to providing you with a harmonious workplace
