10.0 RISK AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT

10.1 Risk Management

Patrick will facilitate Risk Assessments with employees to systematically identify and analyse hazards during operations. This process requires staged risk assessments that are recorded, reviewed and revised.

Patrick will consider Risk and Change Management requirements for each phase of the works, as detailed in the table below.

Outline of Risk and Change Management for Each Phase of the Works

PHASE ACTIVITY

Tender Phase Specific hazards identified in tender documents and on Site inspections. Review and Amend Site Safety Management Plan

Works Phase

Approved Site Safety Management Plan Ongoing Risk Assessment.

Work Team SWI’s and JSA’s Hazard Elimination

Task Observations Take 3

Pre-Start Safety Meetings. Monthly Toolbox Meetings. Site safety inspections and audits

Patrick SH&E Monthly Committee Meeting PPA Monthly Committee Meeting

This Risk Assessment shall be updated and reviewed on an ongoing basis with all relevant parties. If a task meets any of the following criteria, a Risk Assessment shall be performed:

 Significant changes  One off tasks

 Tasks that pose significant hazards possibly great loss in terms of safety, health, finance or production down time

 Tasks deemed by the SH&E Manager / Supervisor as requiring a risk assessment

The following steps are used to communicate and identify risks and formulate the action plan for the Works:

 Pre-Start Meetings - Inform work Parties of the shifts activities and communicate any known hazards or risks

 Take 3 – A personal risk assessment program; take three minutes to stop, think and control any hazards.

 Safe Work instruction - documented and approved. A methodical process used to identify and analyse the steps involved in a task to ensure that it is performed in a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

 Risk Assessment (RA) - Detailed analysis of activities

 Task Observations - A program of task observations of the Patrick workforce behaviour carrying out their day-to-day activities done by Management team members.

(15)

PAT-WA-SHE-DAM-PLA-003 Revision 0 Issue date 01-02-2015 Review date 01-02-2017

The Site Management team will monitor the effectiveness of the hazard control measures by regular inspections and audits carried out during operations.

All employees will be involved in task analysis inspections, behavioral observation programs such as the Task Observation program and hazard reporting to assist in ensuring that safe work practices are being documented and complied with. Plant and equipment will be audited during these inspections to ensure that they are up to the required standards.

The hierarchy of control is applied to assessing all identified hazards in the risk assessment process.

i.e.

(16)
(17)

PAT-WA-SHE-DAM-PLA-003 Revision 0 Issue date 01-02-2015 Review date 01-02-2017

10.2 Corrective Action Register

Patrick shall maintain the Hazard Management Register. The register shall be maintained and updated on an as needs basis. The relevant document contents shall be communicated to all relevant parties.

Action items may result from the following:  Audits  Observation  Improvement Inspections  Investigation  Meetings  Hazard Observations

Copies of the Hazard Management Register are to be provided to the SH&E Manager on request and to the Operations Manager at all times on the Shared Drive..

Patrick will carry out a risk assessment of the work to be carried out onsite and record the assessment. This risk assessment will be reviewed regularly.

10.3 Reporting Hazards

Patrick shall constantly provide an environment in which employees are encouraged to identify report and participate in the control of hazards within their workplace. Employees shall report hazards that they are

(18)

PAT-WA-SHE-DAM-PLA-003 Revision 0 Issue date 01-02-2015 Review date 01-02-2017

unable to rectify themselves, to their Supervisor who is required to control the situation to enable work to be undertaken safely.

Hazard Observation Process

All employees are required to report all hazards. The Near Miss / Hazard Report Form will be used for this purpose. The process involves the employee observing the hazards to:

 Rectify the hazard if safe to do so, isolate if necessary  Warn others of the hazard

 Complete a Near Hit / Hazard Report Form and discuss the hazard with the shift Supervisor.

Supervisor to report all hazards and incidents (including near hits, injuries and statutory authority non-conformance notices) to SH&E Coordinator and the Pilbara Ports Authority Safety Management.

The Hazard Management Register will ensure tracking of identified hazards, unsafe acts and unsafe

conditions.

10.4 Safe Work instructions (SWI)

Identification and control of hazards is to be achieved in line with the Patrick Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control procedure.

The SWI will enable the effective management of hazards by a systematic process to identify, assess, control and monitor the risks presented by the hazards.

Prior to any work commencing Site Management will ensure that all tasks are reviewed by all members of the work team. The review is to be facilitated by the work Supervisor.

The SWI will be approved and monitored by the Supervisor to ensure it is complied with and to help identify areas of improvement.

If there is a change in employees, including supervisory employees, the Site Supervisor must be advised and the new supervisor or employee must be instructed on the SWI in place and sign off on the SWI.

Employees will review SWI in accordance with the sign on page within the SWI, following a break in work, for example due to weather, to consider any physical changes to the work environment.

SWI must be carried out prior to the commencement of any work. The SWI shall be task specific and all workers undertaking the job must have received instruction in the process and have signed the SWI.

10.5 Change Management

The process of change must be managed and controlled so that proper consideration is given to assessing risks presented by a proposed change and that identified controls of the risks are implemented.

Implementation of change to a system or procedure or the introduction of new equipment or process must be planned so that it is clearly communicated and understood by all employee involved.

Change Capture

There are various mechanisms for capturing the need to change from safety and health audits, risk reviews, SWI to action items resulting from monthly tool box meetings or incident investigations.

The suggestion or recommendation to make a change may be submitted by the client or by any member of the Site team.

Change Assessment

Minor change to the work environment or job procedure will be assessed by using the SWI process whilst a significant change to operations may require a formal committee to assess and implement.

The Manager or their delegate is responsible for ensuring that the assessment process reflects the significance of the change.

(19)

PAT-WA-SHE-DAM-PLA-003 Revision 0 Issue date 01-02-2015 Review date 01-02-2017

All of the relevant information is gathered and consultation with all other stakeholders is instigated. Stakeholders may include the work teams, client and Site Management, Safety Coordinator, Operations, or other relevant Managers within the business.

The assessment process is to verify the need for change to take place and to identify the most practical, safe and cost effective solution to the issue.

The selected change shall be subjected to a risk assessment to ensure that previously unidentified hazards will not be introduced without proper controls being put in place.

(20)

PAT-WA-SHE-DAM-PLA-003 Revision 0 Issue date 01-02-2015 Review date 01-02-2017 Implementation of Change

It is critical that the implementation of any alteration to the workplace or work procedures is tightly controlled.

All procedures and documentation effected by the change must be reviewed, modified and approved. If required, a new SWI or JSA will be written to reflect the change and the controls that have been identified.

All controls identified in the assessment of the change must be in place before approval to implement the change is given.

Communication

Good communication has a significant impact upon the success of the implementation of change.

It is imperative that the Manager or their delegate ensures that all stakeholders are fully informed before a change is put in place.

Review of the Change

The success of the implementation of a change must be reviewed to:

 Resolve any issues that may not have been identified in the original assessment  Ensure that the change achieved the original aims

 Ensure that the process to implement change was successfully carried out

11.0 COMMUNICATION, CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION

11.1 Overview

Patrick is committed to consultative process with all of its employees. This will ensure that positive employee input and participation is obtained in all SH&E issues and matters and is supported by the Asciano / Patrick SH&E Consultation and Communication Procedure.

Review of SH&E System and Safety Improvement Plan

(27)

PAT-WA-SHE-DAM-PLA-003 Revision 0 Issue date 01-02-2015 Review date 01-02-2017 The SH&E System is reviewed by senior management at meetings held at a minimum of yearly intervals. The review assesses the effectiveness of the system and determines what changes in procedures, methods, philosophy, infrastructure and resources are considered necessary to meet current and future needs. The review takes into account items such as Audit Reports, Safety Improvement Plans, and Training needs. Actions required to address current or potential problems are recorded in minutes of meetings on a Management SH&E Meeting Report and implementation assessed at subsequent meetings.

The agenda and discussion topics are tabled and reviewed in Management Meeting Report minutes with agreed actions.

Additionally, the senior management team will meet once a month to conduct a review of safety performance and immediate issues requiring attention. The meeting will be minuted with clear action items.

14.0 HEALTH, WELFARE AND MEDICAL

14.1 Pre-Mobilisation Medical/Alcohol and Other Drugs Testing

Medical/AOD testing shall be completed by employees prior to employment in line with QA Procedure 03

Employment and Training:

A Pre-employment medical assessment shall be carried out by a Patrick-approved Health Service provider

Drug and Alcohol Screening - A supervised urine sample will be provided by the prospective employee at the time of undergoing the pre-employment medical assessment.

14.2 Fit for Work

Patrick shall ensure all employees and visitors comply with the Fit for Work Procedure SPR-012 including: fatigue stress, medical problems, alcohol abuse and drug abuse.

The objectives of the Fitness For Work Procedure are to provide a framework to ensure that:

 While at work, employees are provided with a safe and health work environment which minimises or eliminates the risk of injury due to any act or omission by themselves or others.

 All employees meet their obligations in providing a safe workplace.

 As far as possible, ensure that a candidate’s Fitness For Work meets the requirements for the job.  Where there are medical and physical Fitness For Work requirements due to the nature of the work

site, these requirements are identified in Job Analysis’ Forms which are used by medical employees during pre-employment and on-going medical assessments.

 Supervisors have the knowledge, skill, willingness and support to actively monitor and manage FFW issues.

Workplace stress

There is a range of physical, psychological and behavioral symptoms that may be reported by those experiencing high levels of stress.

Identification of psychological hazards that may create a stressful environment must be included in any hazard management system. Identification of psychological hazards (frequently referred to as ‘stressors’) requires particular effort as they:

Are not as easily identified as physical hazards

May occur suddenly as a result of a traumatic experience, such as a threat can build up gradually, such as a result of continued high work demands and conflict in working relationships.

Control the effects of stressors by:  Removing or reducing stressors

 Rotating workers through tasks that are known to be demanding assisting workers to deal with distress where stressors cannot be removed.

(28)

PAT-WA-SHE-DAM-PLA-003 Revision 0 Issue date 01-02-2015 Review date 01-02-2017  Provide information about stress and the effects of stressful situations

 Develop policies and procedures to minimise the effect of anticipated stressful situations before they arise

 Provide access to employee assistance programs

 Promote activities that enhance physical and mental health.

14.3 Drugs and Alcohol

Policy Statement

Company Vehicles

Company vehicles are not to be driven by anyone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Patrick will not accept liability for any damage to a company vehicle, injury to any person, or damage or injury to any third party, incurred while the driver of the company vehicle is in breach of this policy or of the law.

Machinery

Patrick has an obligation to all employees under current Occupational Safety and Health legislation to provide a safe and healthy work environment. To ensure a safe environment, no machinery is to be operated or used by anyone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Prescription Medication

If a person needs to take prescription drugs, they must check with their doctor to establish if the use of the drug will impact on their work performance and particularly their ability to operate machinery. If so, they must advise their Supervisor prior to the commencement of work.

The PPA requires all wharf users to be at zero level for both alcohol and other drugs upon entry to the site

which all Patrick personnel are aware of via the MSIC and PPA induction process.

14.4 Fatigue Management

Fatigue Management shall be carried out in accordance with the Asciano / Patrick Fitness For Work Procedure.

Patrick is aware that fatigue can result from long or arduous work, little or poor sleep and the time of day when the work is performed and the amount of sleep obtained. It can be influenced by health and emotional issues or by several of these factors in combination.

Fatigue indicators include but are not limited to:  Not feeling refreshed after sleep

 A greater tendency to fall asleep while at work  More frequent naps during leisure hours  Feelings of fatigue or sleepiness

 Extended sleep during days off

 Increased errors and loss of concentration at work

There are many reasons why a person may not be fit for work. Patrick provides the opportunity and support mechanisms, which allow an employee or contractor to discuss any lifestyle, health, or medical condition they may have with their Manager or utilise the Employee Assistance Program for further advice.

In exceptional circumstances these limits may be exceeded after due consideration to both the operational requirement and the safety and health of the employees involved.

(29)

PAT-WA-SHE-DAM-PLA-003 Revision 0 Issue date 01-02-2015 Review date 01-02-2017

Heat Stress requires that adequate controls are implemented to suitably protect people who work in extreme temperatures. The process involves identifying extreme temperature sources and implementing appropriate hazard control measures.

Where an environment of extreme temperature exists, the means of control include, but are not limited to:  Providing shelter and adequate cool drinking water

 Hygienic means of water distribution and consumption to limit exposure to health risks  Using Power tools, lifting aids and/or other devices to reduce physical exertion  Planning of work to minimise employee exposure to extremes of temperature  Training and instruction in recognition of heat stress symptoms

 Rotate employee between tasks

When there is potential for heat stress to occur all supervisors will be responsible for conducting a risk assessment and ensuring controls are in place to reduce the effects of heat stress.

Where an employee’s injuries are such that the person is capable of performing alternative duties, suitable duties will be provided where possible.

Where an employee is injured through a non-work related activity, such as weekend sports, similar services may be provided where approved by a Regional Manager to arrange alternative duties and return to work, if practical to do so. Employees are required to report such injuries so that they are not assigned to tasks that may aggravate the injury or result in the employee or others being placed at increased risk.

14.7 Health Surveillance

The purpose of health surveillance is to monitor the health effects of being exposed to a hazard.

14.8 Environmental monitoring

Environmental hazards can include the noise generated in the in a workplace, the heat given off by certain machinery, fumes, the quality of lighting, etc.

Environmental monitoring at fixed locations in the workplace is used to assess the occupational exposure levels of hazards within a workplace to determine the risk to the worker's health, and to determine if existing hazard risk controls are effective.

The Patrick Supervisor in consultation with the SH&E Manager will determine if environmental monitoring requirements are necessary, given the hazards, the workplace environment, and hazard risk controls implemented at the workplace. Examples are:

 That a qualified person will complete noise assessments (measurements) of noise output every 5 years in work area where the noise level exceeds the 'exposure standard';  Ongoing air monitoring requirements may be required to determine exposure levels to

airborne contaminants within the work area

 Ongoing air monitoring requirements may be required to determine exposure levels to chemical mists and solvent vapours in a workplace, and air quality in confined spaces.
