Categorisation Tool: Hazpak was developed by WorkCover NSW with the University of NSW, Department of Safety Science. The Australian Chamber of Manufacturers, the Labor Council and Worksafe Australia contributed to the development of the package. Personal Protective Equipment: It is recommended that suitable and approved ear, footwear and depending on the materials involved breathing protection be worn. Introduction: As required under Occupational Health and Safety Legislation, all equipment hired out to the public must have a risk assessment undertaken.
Inspection: Inspection was undertaken in company with Simon Foord at Artarmon. Conclusion: A category (3) has been allocated to this equipment. In-house. Use the safety bar when working under the tipper tray. Ensure wheels are chocked also. Customer. Tipper engaging lever not to be engaged whilst the vehicle is in motion. Use the safety bar to hold the tipper tray if it needs to be in the up position for an extended time. TE: While this risk assessment has been as exhaustive as possible, no survey can identify all hazards on a plant or all risks to personnel. A reliable system of regular safety surveys by a competent person or persons needs to be put in place for future identification of hazard and risk. All care has been taken in preparing this report; however the responsibility for hazard identification and risk minimisation remains with the designer, manufacturer, supplier, installer and employer. This responsibility can not be transferred or wavered in any way. Mark Zimmer National Equipment Manager Kennards Hire
