CPCCCM2012 - Work safely at heights Question 1: According to Safe Work Australia’s 2018, what are the areas that need special attention while working at heights? The areas that need special attention are:  close to an exposed edge that isn't covered, like the edges of leading formwork or unfinished stairwells.  utilizing tools to perform tasks at an elevated height, such as portable ladders or elevating work platforms (EWPs)  on any building or equipment that is being built, installed, dismantled, inspected, tested, cleaned, or repaired.  on or near a delicate surface, such as skylights, rusted metal roofs, cement sheeting roofs, or fiberglass sheeting roofs.  close to a hole, shaft, or pit that a worker could fall into, such as trenches;  on a sloping or slippery surface where it is difficult for people to maintain their balance; and on an unstable surface, such as one where there is a chance of the ground collapsing. Question 2: Explain the steps to determine job priorities and sequence job tasks in consultation with a relevant person on site. Compile job instructions: The qualities required to finish a specific job or task are known as work specifications and strategies. A guidebook that contains designs, specifications, standards for quality, operational information, and accuracy checks on the work might be necessary. Prioritize tasks and arrange them in order of completion: Worksite, environmental, and organizational safety strategies must be followed at all times. Procedures ensure that the work is done safely, preventing damage to tools and placing people in risky situations. They also aid in making sure that the tasks are finished in the proper sequence and don't interfere with or obstruct other tasks being done on the site.

Question 3: Write down the various factors to consider while preparing SWMS for a specific task. The various factors to consider while preparing SWMS for a specific task are:  Address about high-risk construction activity like risks, hazards and control methods and communicate with appropriate construction workers.  A column labelled "High-Risk Construction Work" should exist, providing an overview of the high-risk construction projects that need to be performed.  A column of hazards and risks.  Conditions like work environment that influence how the construction work with high-risk will be done, for example: construction plan, working environment, safe work methods and pant to be used  A column of “control measures” with hierarchy of controls. Question 4: Explain various control measures to avoid any risk at workplace. The control measures to avoid any risk at workplace are:  Use PPE kits – this preventive measure is of the bottom order and applied when other measures are not effective. It does not lower the hazard.  Use signs – there are different signs available according to need. These are prohibition signs, mandatory, restriction, hazard, emergency, fire signs  Use fall restraint device - it protects the person from fall. Guard rail and barriers are installed for more protection.  Use a fall arrest system – it protects the worker by avoiding the fall before striking the ground after he fell.  Use administrative controls – this is effective when other measures are unsuccessful. It comprises numerous design methods and actions to minimise hazards.

Question 5: Mention below the various locations of anchor points for safe access to the work area. The various locations of anchor points for safe access to the work area are: 1. Roof – they are mostly permanent type and pinned into the roof surface. A simple anchor connection contains a D-ring connection whereas complex system comprises a complete lifeline system. 2. Door and windows - To install anchor points, a jamb anchor is used to secure the window and door frames. It is always wider than door or window frame 3. Walls – permanent anchor points can be nailed into the walls. After drilling a hole in the wall and then anchor points is fixed 4. Crane or vehicle – anchor points can be connected on a crane or vehicle which can bear high load and stable Question 6: What are various types of protection required and their descriptions Protection location Description Hand Gloves Respiratory Filtering respirators and masks Skin Sunscreen cream Foot Steel toe boots Class Activities: Version 3.0 Effective Date: 01/07/2021 Review Date: 01/11/2023 All printed copies of this Document are considered 'Uncontrolled Copies'.

Eyes Safety glasses Noise Ear muffs Head Hard hats Question 7: How can you prevent the risk of fall from height? The risk of fall from height can be prevented by using following measures:  Using fall prevention devices – the fall prevention devices such as guard rails and scaffolding can be used to reduce the risk of fall due to unbalanced and fragile surfaces.  Using different types of work positioning systems – work positioning system such as a rope access system can also be used. Question 8: What is meant by Elevated work platforms (EWPs)? List its types, characteristics, uses and limitations. Elevated work platform is a mobile machine (device) featuring at least a work platform with controls, an extending frame, and a chassis is meant to transfer people, tools, and materials to working locations. Types- Self-propelled elevating work platforms, Boom-type elevating work platform and elevating Rolling work platforms Characteristics – packed position, monitor from the work platform Uses – during working at height used for lifting or lowering weights. Limitations – chances of toppling Class Activities: Version 3.0 Effective Date: 01/07/2021 Review Date: 01/11/2023 All printed copies of this Document are considered 'Uncontrolled Copies'.

Question 9: What are the safety manuals and instructions for checking plant, tools and equipment? The safety manuals and instructions for checking plant, tools and equipment are:  Operation manuals – the detailed document that helps workers operating well by providing information of equipment and its parts. Each tool or equipment has a ‘Operation manual’ which explains their working. These are essential guidelines which guarantees the safe usage of the tools or equipment.  Manufacturer specifications - this provides technical data of tools and equipment which guard the workers form the hazards related to a tool or equipment.  Safety signs and load charts for plants: these are available in several layouts in order to protect workers from possible hazard resulting from defective tools, equipment and plants. Load chart is an illustration and diagram that shows how much authorised work a tool, plant, or equipment would be able to carry out. Question 10: What is meant by signs? List the correct titles for these signs. Signs are essential components of any construction site since they are vital instruments for guaranteeing security and safety. These are extremely important for directing workers, communicating important information, and warning guests of potential dangers. They can be in pictures, written or both. The various forms of signs are:  Prohibition signs (don’t do)  Restriction signs (limiting)  Hazard signs (warning signs)  Mandatory signs (must do)  Fire signs  Emergency signs (medical, exit etc.) Class Activities: Version 3.0 Effective Date: 01/07/2021 Review Date: 01/11/2023 All printed copies of this Document are considered 'Uncontrolled Copies'.
