Here is some safety information related to using bridge polisher.

Hazards: The following hazards associated with the use of bridge polisher must be addressed:

  1. Electrical hazards: The use of power tools, including the bridge polisher, carries a risk of electrical hazards, which can lead to electric shock and even death.
  2. Slips, trips, and falls: Working on elevated platforms increases the risk of slips, trips, and falls, which can result in serious injury.
  3. Noise: The use of the bridge polisher can generate high levels of noise, which can cause hearing damage if proper hearing protection is not worn.
  4. Dust: The polishing process can generate large amounts of dust, which can be harmful if inhaled.
  5. Flying debris: The bridge polisher can create flying debris, which can cause serious injury if it comes into contact with people.
  6. Moving parts: The bridge polisher has moving parts that can cause injury if they come into contact with people.
  7. Chemicals: The use of chemicals for polishing can be hazardous to health if not used properly.

Risk Control Measures:

  1. Training: All operators and workers involved in the operation of the bridge polisher must have adequate training and knowledge of the equipment and safety procedures.
  2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All workers must wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles, hearing protection, dust masks, and non-slip safety shoes.
  3. Electrical safety: The bridge polisher must be regularly inspected and maintained by a qualified electrician. A residual current device (RCD) must be installed and tested before use.
  4. Safe work area: The work area must be clearly marked and cordoned off to prevent unauthorised entry. The surface must be clean and free of debris.
  5. Slips, trips, and falls: The work area must have anti-slip surfaces, and all workers must use fall protection equipment such as harnesses.
  6. Noise: Workers must wear appropriate hearing protection when operating the bridge polisher.
  7. Dust: The work area must be well-ventilated, and workers must wear appropriate dust masks.
  8. Flying debris: A barrier or shield must be installed around the work area to prevent flying debris from injuring workers or passers-by.
  9. Moving parts: Workers must never place their hands or body parts near the moving parts of the bridge polisher.
  10. Chemicals: All chemicals used for polishing must be stored, handled and disposed of according to relevant regulations and manufacturer’s instructions.

Emergency Procedures:

  1. Electric shock: In the event of electric shock, turn off the power immediately, and seek medical attention.
  2. Slips, trips, and falls: In the event of a fall, activate the emergency response plan and seek medical attention.
  3. Noise: In the event of hearing damage, seek medical attention immediately.
  4. Dust: In the event of inhaling dust, move to a well-ventilated area, and seek medical attention if necessary.
  5. Flying debris: In the event of injury caused by flying debris, seek medical attention immediately.
  6. Chemicals: In the event of exposure to chemicals, follow relevant emergency procedures as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Gary’s Safety Tips

Hey everyone, it’s your safety guy Gary here to talk about SWMS in South Australia. SWMS, or Safe Work Method Statements, are an essential part of any workplace’s safety procedures. They outline the potential hazards and risks associated with a specific job or task and provide guidance on how to safely perform the work.

If you’re in South Australia and need to create a SWMS, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Here’s my step-by-step guide to creating a SWMS that meets all the necessary requirements:

Step 1: Identify the Job or Task

The first step in creating a SWMS is to identify the job or task that needs to be performed. This can include anything from construction work to cleaning tasks. Once you’ve identified the job or task, you need to make sure you understand all the hazards and risks associated with it.

Step 2: Identify the Hazards and Risks

The next step is to identify all the hazards and risks associated with the job or task. This can include things like working at heights, working with machinery or chemicals, or working in confined spaces. Make sure you consider all the potential hazards and risks associated with the job or task, and think about how they can be eliminated or minimised.

Step 3: Determine the Controls

Once you’ve identified the hazards and risks associated with the job or task, the next step is to determine the controls that need to be put in place to eliminate or minimise those risks. This can include things like wearing protective gear, providing training and supervision, and using safety equipment.

Step 4: Develop the SWMS

Now that you’ve identified the job or task, the hazards and risks associated with it, and the controls that need to be put in place, it’s time to develop the SWMS. The SWMS should outline all the necessary information, including the job or task description, the hazards and risks associated with it, the controls that will be put in place, and any additional information such as emergency procedures or first aid requirements.

Step 5: Review and Approve the SWMS

Once the SWMS has been developed, it needs to be reviewed and approved by all relevant parties, including the workers who will be performing the job or task, any supervisors or managers, and any other relevant stakeholders. Make sure everyone understands the SWMS and their responsibilities under it.

Step 6: Implement and Monitor the SWMS

The final step is to implement and monitor the SWMS. This means making sure all workers are following the procedures outlined in the SWMS, and regularly reviewing and updating the SWMS as necessary. It’s also important to monitor the effectiveness of the controls and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the job or task is being performed safely.

In South Australia, there are some additional requirements you need to keep in mind when developing a SWMS. These include:

  • The SWMS must be in writing and readily accessible to all workers
  • The SWMS must be reviewed and updated as necessary, including whenever there are any changes to the job or task, the hazards or risks associated with it, or the controls that need to be put in place
  • The SWMS must be communicated to all workers before they start the job or task
  • The SWMS must be kept for at least two years after the job or task has been completed

Remember, creating a SWMS is an important part of any workplace’s safety procedures. By following these steps, you can create a comprehensive SWMS that meets all the necessary requirements in South Australia. So go ahead and get started, and keep your workers safe!

Cheers,
