Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 9 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 In addition to national Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) legislation that replaced Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation in 2011 that we spoke about previously, many acts and regulations vary by state or territory. The activities that safety regulations and workplace procedures apply to will vary according to your industry and job role. Still, there are various signs and systems that you can be aware of. Work health and safety legislation In NSW, the WHS legislation is the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 No 10 (NSW). This Act is a nationally consistent framework that aims to secure the health and safety of workers and workplaces. Go to the NSW legislation website to find the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 No 10 . (https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/act-2011-010#pt.1 ) Emergency procedures Accidents, fires and emergencies can happen at any time. Workplaces need a plan for emergencies to minimise injuries, harm or worse. For emergencies, special procedures must know how to act and react fast to reduce the chance of damage and minimise any liability. Quick and effective action may help deal with the situation and reduce the consequences. Responding to incidents and emergencies In emergencies, people are more likely to respond effectively if they: • are well trained and competent • take part in regular and realistic practice • have agreed, recorded, and rehearsed plans, actions, and responsibilities. Most workplace procedures for dealing with incidents address the same basic requirements. When dealing with an emergency, you may be required to: • move people away from immediate danger • call and assist emergency services • handle casualties • handle displaced or non-injured people • raise the alarm and call emergency services

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 12 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Controlling risks Risk is the likelihood that harm (death, injury, or illness) might occur, if you are exposed to a hazard. To reduce hazards and control risks, you need to know your workplace's risks, or which work activities may present a risk. When you know where the risks are, you must follow workplace procedures to eliminate or minimise those risks. Four steps to control risks The four steps to control risk are: 1. Identify hazards – Find out what could cause harm. 2. Assess risks – Understand the danger caused by the hazard, how likely it is to occur and how serious the harm would be. 3. Control risks – Put effective control measures that are appropriate for the circumstances. 4. Review control measures – Ensure the steps you have undertaken are working as planned. Identify hazards Identifying hazards involves finding the objects, tasks and situations that could potentially cause harm to people. Hazards can come from areas including: • the physical work environment • equipment, materials, and substances used • how work tasks are performed • design and management of work. You can identify hazards by: • Inspecting the workplace – Observe the performance of work tasks. • Consulting workers – Talk about any health and safety issues they have found. • Analysing your records – Find out about workplace incidents, near misses and worker complaints, which show patterns and areas of interest. • Reviewing information and advice – Review hazards and risks relevant to your industry or the type of work you do, such as information provided by industry associations, manufacturers, or suppliers.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 15 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 You will likely need to combine the controls to achieve the highest level of risk control. When selecting and implementing a combination of control measures, consider whether any new risks might be introduced as a result. Review control measures Review any control measures that have been implemented, and if necessary, revise them to make sure they work as planned. Review your control measures: • When the control is not effective in controlling the risk, for example, when an incident occurs. • Before a change at the workplace, that is likely to give rise to a new or different health and safety risk that the control measure may not effectively control. • When a new hazard or risk is identified. • If the results of consultation indicate that a review is necessary. • If a Health and Safety Representative requests a review. Control measures may be reviewed using the same methods as the initial hazard identification step.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 18 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Main types There are four main types of workplace hazards: 1. Physical hazards – Arguably the most common types of hazards, and many can be easily corrected. For example, frayed electrical cords, loose wires, unguarded machinery, exposed moving parts, constant loud noise, vibrations, scaffolding or heights, spills, or tripping hazards. 2. Ergonomic hazards – occur because of your working conditions and the strain on your body. Many of these hazards can be unseen in that they don't affect your health immediately but in the long term. For example, Poor lighting, frequent, heavy, or improper lifting, repetitive or awkward movements, or incorrectly adjusted workstations and chairs. 3. Chemical hazards – come from working with chemicals and, for example, cleaning products and solvents, vapours and fumes, carbon monoxide or other gases, gasoline, or other flammable materials. 4. Biological hazards – come from working with people, animals, or other infectious materials. For example, blood or other bodily fluids, bacteria and viruses, insect bites, or animal and bird droppings. Table 2: Hazards Hazard Example Obstructions Spare equipment that is piled up blocking the fire exit doors or in stairwells; how do staff and customers get out in a hurry if the exits are blocked? Slips, trips and falls A simple spill of a drink, water, food, or oil can result in slips, falls, broken bones or head injuries. Electrical cords across a walkway or boxes of goods cluttering up a walkway are common causes of trips or falls Electrical Damaged electrical cords Electric or gas work done by an unqualified person is a hazard. All breakdowns or faulty equipment must be reported appropriately and repaired by a qualified person Safety guards' faults or removal Do not remove safety guards. They are there for a reason; use them

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 21 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 How materials can be hazardous Hazardous materials can affect surroundings by causing: • fire • explosion • corrosive attack. Hazardous materials can enter the human body by several different ways. These are: • Ingestion - into the body through the mouth • Inhalation - into the body through the nose and the lungs • Absorption - into the body through the skin. Ingestion Many materials are very dangerous if they are swallowed. They can get into your mouth if you put your hands in your mouth, or if you smoke after handling a dangerous substance without washing your hands. You should not eat or store food near dangerous substances because it can become contaminated. Inhalation Poisonous gases, dusts and powders can enter our respiratory system and become absorbed into the blood. It can be very dangerous because we cannot stop breathing and airborne dangerous substances can easily enter our bodies through our respiratory system (lungs). Absorption Many dangerous materials are easily absorbed through the skin into the blood stream. Materials can also enter through cuts and breaks in the skin. Effects of Hazardous materials Dangerous goods are classified based on immediate physical or chemical effects, such as fire, explosion, corrosion, and poisoning. An accident involving dangerous goods could seriously damage property or the environment. Hazardous materials can affect people in many ways including poisoning, asphyxiation and allergic reactions.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 22 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Sometimes the effects can be seen immediately after meeting the material. Hazardous materials are classified based on their potential health effects, whether acute (immediate) or chronic (long-term). Harm to health may happen suddenly (acute), or it may happen gradually over years (chronic). Some people can be more susceptible than others. Sometimes the effects are not experienced for a long time after the person has been exposed to the material. ACUTE EFFECTS An effect of a material that happens immediately a person is exposed. The effects are often quite dramatic like dizziness, unconsciousness, nausea, itchy eyes, or skin or even death. CHRONIC EFFECTS An effect that occurs after prolonged exposure to the material. Often the effects like dermatitis or cancer gradually increase until they become quite severe or even fatal. Hazardous Materials in the Warehouse It is important to understand the hazardous nature of materials that are in a warehouse. This will affect: • how we handle them • how we store them • how they are transported • how we minimise the risk of accidents. Taking appropriate action There is a range of modifications that can be made to ensure that work tasks are altered to reduce the hazard. Modifications may include:

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 23 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 • job sharing • task reallocation • grouping similar tasks • including different equipment • changing work requirements to eliminate or reduce manual handling tasks. Some hazards may be more obvious than others because they are common and well known in a particular industry. Others may be more difficult to identify. It is important to work closely with workers and look at every task in the workplace to help identify all potential hazards. Assess the risk: • the severity of a risk • whether any existing control measures are effective • what actions should be taken to control the risk • how urgently those actions should be completed. A risk assessment is mandatory for certain high-risk activities such as entry into confined spaces, diving work, live electrical work and high-risk construction work Reporting hazards Many hazards are avoided by keeping your work area clean and tidy. Put things away, clean up spills as they happen, and make sure leads and cables are not across walkways. When you see anything that might cause harm, injury or illness or potentially cause disruptions, report it to your supervisor immediately. Keen observation and reporting are good ways to deal with hazards. For example, if you notice any damaged or faulty equipment, report it to your supervisor to place a tag on the item. Never put yourself or others at risk by trying to fix faults. If you see a piece of equipment with a tag, do not try to use it. Hazards that are harder to eliminate or minimise, may need the combined help of other workers and management. Hazard report forms Hazard report forms are a common way of reporting hazards. The completed forms help ensure that reports are kept of hazards and track any actions done. Hazard report forms include:

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 24 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 • the type and location of the hazard • who was it reported to? • what action was taken • whether the hazard has been removed or reduced. Reporting procedures You must report fire hazards, broken or damaged equipment or fittings, sickness, and accidents. Your workplace will have a system for reporting hazards, such as: • reporting hazards to your supervisor or a designated WHS person • completing a Hazard Report form • consulting your Workplace Health and Safety Officer or Representative on the issue • bringing the issue up at a safety meeting or a staff meeting. The way you need to report a hazard will often depend on the level of risk involved: • High risk – Immediate danger that must be urgently dealt with. • Medium risk – Potential danger that must be dealt with as soon as possible. It needs to follow up. • Low risk – Does not threaten immediate danger but should be noted, monitored, and dealt with in the future. High risk or acute hazards should always be reported immediately to a supervisor, delegated Workplace Health and Safety officer or representative. Less acute hazards may require completing a Hazard Report form and forwarding it to the appropriate person. There may also be specific procedures for emergencies. These are usually specified in the emergency procedures manual and covered in your workplace induction. Tagging out isolation equipment, engineering control items, personal protective equipment Tags are used to identify any isolation equipment, engineering control items, personal protective equipment that is not safe to use or fit for purpose. The tagging out of equipment should be securely attached. It should clearly state the defect or reason why the equipment is unsafe. The tag should be placed on each isolation point. An approved person should only remove it after fixing or rectifying the defect and making the equipment safe. The only persons to remove the tag are the signatories on the tag.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 25 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Personal hygiene, health and wellbeing Clothing Work clothes should be clean and in good condition. Holes or ripped clothing can allow contaminated substances to enter the body through your skin. Loose clothing can also be a hazard by being caught in equipment, causing accidents. Wash dirty clothing before wearing them for the next shift. If items are contaminated, they must be cleaned prior to being worn again. In many cases the PCBU will organise this. Ensure shoes or work boots are dry and free of dirt before starting a new shift. You may need extra shoes or work boots if you work in a hazardous substance environment. Damaged or broken PPE should be replaced (or repaired if possible). Don't reuse single-use PPE like a disposable particulate mask, ear plugs or disposable gloves once they are

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 26 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 contaminated or after a shift. Don't use contaminated hands or cloves to handle PPE. Never share your PPE. Cotton sock are best when used for a long time to absorb moisture and breath. These should be cleaned regularly and use clean sock each day. Body hygiene Some workers may not be affected if they have less than ideal personal hygiene. However, when a worker is in a working environment, it can impact other workers. If odours become a problem, other workers ability to concentrate on their work or task may be affected. Workers should bathe or shower and wash hair regularly using soap. Use a deodorant or antiperspirant regularly, especially during hotter periods or work environments. Wash hands regularly and keep hands neat and clean. Never use solvents to clean hands. Keep in mind that perfume or cologne may affect other worker’s allergies. Bad breath can also be offensive to other workers but not to you. Maintain dental health regularly. Any cuts or abrasions should be dressed using the appropriate dressings. Keep them clean to avoid any infections and leaving any blood on work surfaces.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 27 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Preventing illness Don't come to work if you are feeling unwell. If you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth with the inside of your elbow or tissue. Wash your hands straight after you have disposed of the tissue. Use a sanitiser or wash your hands with soap regularly. You should always wash your hands: • before and after work • after using the toilet • after sneezing or coughing into a tissue • after putting rubbish in the bin • after cleaning an area • after handling money • using dirty tools or equipment. Clean work area Personal hygiene at work is important for your health and wellbeing and your co-workers, especially in this COVID-19 environment. In general, colds, flues and viruses can be spread from contact with surfaces. Every workplace will have a hygiene policy that should be addressed and available during your workplace induction. The workplace must be kept clean and sanitised regularly. Your assistance can help by maintaining your area and using sanitisers and glove protection. There are four important workplace hygiene requirements needed to make sure a workplace is safe for all staff, and those are: • personal hygiene • work area cleanliness • clean restroom facilities • clean kitchen or lunchroom. All of the 4 components mentioned above are as important to maintain as each other. They all need to be maintained to have a safe work environment. If employees are dissatisfied with workplace hygiene, they should be reported to your supervisor.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 28 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 It is the employer's responsibility to provide toilets with hand soap, toilet paper and hand drying towels or equipment. Keep your work area clean and tidy up after yourself. Don't leave food scraps around as it will encourage vermin. Wash cups or mugs, plates and cutlery daily and put them away. This may involve a roster, or everyone cleans up after themselves. Employee assistance or wellbeing programs Many wellness programs are available to help employees with their: • mental and physical health • lifestyle • well-being • workplace effectiveness. Some can be made available during the workplace induction. These can be company policies on discrimination, harassment and bullying within the workplace. Employee assistance and wellness program should be in the top 3 priorities of a business and is usually a high priority to ensure workers are healthy mentally and happy within the workplace. Employee assistance and wellness programs help all employees deal with life matters outside of work and within the workplace. This can help the worker become happier at work and become a more productive worker. Employee assistance and wellness programs focus on dealing with the issues quickly; however, some issues can take longer and need specialised counselling. Workers should not hesitate to participate in employee assistance and wellness programs. Not only to revolve personal issues but to help others.

Have consulted with your Supervisor, Workplace safety representative, referred to any Codes of Practice, Oragnisation Policies and procedures, and referred to the CURRENT Safety Data Safety Sheet. Risk assessment Carrying out a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks for all work activities is needed to decide what measures are necessary for safety. For work in confined spaces, this means: • identifying the hazards present • assessing the risks • determining what precautions to take. Make sure you consider the following: • task or job to be done • working environment • use of materials, tools, and equipment • competency, suitability and skills, training, and experience of those performing the task • plans for emergency rescue. Plan to minimise risk Planning work or using a different approach can reduce the need for confined space working. Consider if it is possible to: • modify the confined space itself so that entry is not necessary • have the work done from outside, such as: • clear blockages by use of remotely operated rotating flail devices, vibrating machines, or air purges • have the inspection, sampling and cleaning operations done from outside the space using appropriate equipment and tools • use remote cameras for internal inspections. If you cannot avoid entering a confined space, make sure you have a safe system for working inside the space. Ensure that the safe work system, including the precautions

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 31 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 identified, is developed, and put into practice. Everyone involved will need to be properly trained and instructed to know what to do and how to do it safely. Other ways to minimise risk The table below lists other ways to minimise risk and the procedures to follow. Table 1 – Minimising risk Actions Procedures Appoint a supervisor Supervisors should be given the responsibility to make sure that the necessary precautions are taken to check safety at each stage and may need to remain present while work is underway. Assess worker suitability Do they have sufficient experience and training? If there are physical constraints, are they of a suitable build? Consider other factors such as the person's fitness and claustrophobia. Isolation of equipment Mechanical and electrical isolation of equipment is essential if it could otherwise operate, or be operated, inadvertently. If gas, fume or vapour could enter the confined space, you need to isolate the pipework. A check should be made to ensure isolation is effective in all cases. Cleaning before entry This may be necessary to ensure fumes do not develop from residues, while the work is done. Assess the entrance size Is it big enough to allow workers wearing all the necessary equipment to climb in and out easily and provide ready access and exit in an emergency? Consider how the use of the equipment affects worker mobility. Increase ventilation You may increase the number of openings and therefore improve ventilation. Mechanical ventilation may be needed to make sure there is an adequate supply of fresh air. Air testing Testing the air may be necessary to check that it is free from toxic and flammable vapours and fit to breathe.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 32 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Actions Procedures Breathing apparatus Breathing apparatus is essential if the air inside the space cannot be made fit to breathe because of gas, fume or vapour present or lack of oxygen. Special lighting Non-sparking tools and specially protected lighting are essential for flammable or potentially explosive atmospheres. Preparing emergency arrangements These will need to cover the necessary equipment, training and practice drills. Rescue harnesses Lifelines attached to harnesses should run back to a point outside the confined space. Communications An adequate communications system is needed to enable communication between people inside and outside the confined space and summon help in an emergency. Procedure for raising alarm Do you need to position someone outside to keep watch and communicate with anyone inside, raise the alarm quickly in an emergency, and take charge of the rescue procedures? Emergency procedures People may be exposed to serious and immediate danger when things go wrong. Effective arrangements for raising the alarm and carrying out rescue operations in an emergency are essential. Back up plans will depend on the nature of the confined space, the risks identified and consequently the likely nature of an emergency rescue. Emergency arrangements will depend on the risks. Important factors to consider include: • Communications – How can an emergency be communicated from inside the restricted/confined space to people outside to start rescue procedures? Consider night and shift work, weekends, and times when the premises are closed, for

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 33 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 example, holidays. Also, consider what might happen and how the alarm can be raised. NOTE: In some circumstances electronic communications equipment such as two- way radios may be dangerous to operate. • Rescue and resuscitation equipment – Providing suitable rescue and resuscitation equipment will depend on the likely emergencies identified. Training in correct operation is essential where such equipment is provided for rescuers to use. Fire Fire is one of the most common and potentially destructive hazards associated with the use of hazardous materials. There are many types of materials that can catch fire. It is important to know how to respond to a fire emergency involving hazardous materials. Classes of Fires How a fire is handled depends on what is burning. There are 6 classes of fires based on the materials that burn. Class A - Fires involving ordinary combustible materials Class B - Fires involving flammable liquids Class C - Fires involving flammable gases Class D - Fires involving burning metals Class E - Fires involving live energised equipment/hazards Class F - Fires involving cooking oils and fat

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 34 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Classes of Fire Extinguishers All extinguishers now in use in Australia are all red with a coloured band around them to identify the type of extinguisher. Water Fire Extinguishers Water fire extinguishers have an all-red cylinder. Water extinguishes the fire by cooling down and removing the heat from the fire. Without adequate heat, fuel cannot burn. They should only be used on Class A ordinary combustible fires such as, wood, paper, cardboard, or textiles. They must never be used on: • Class B flammable liquid fires. • Class C flammable gas fires. • Class E live electrical equipment fires; or • Class F cooking oil fires. When using a water extinguisher, direct the water jet at the base of the fire and move it across the area of the fire. If a fire is spreading vertically, it should be attacked at its lowest point and followed upwards. Foam Fire Extinguishers Foam extinguishers is a red cylinder with a blue band. They contain 93% water and 7% chemical. This mixture aerates as it discharges from the extinguisher nozzle and creates foam. Foam extinguishes the fire by smothering the fuel and removing the heat. Without heat and oxygen, a fire cannot burn. Foam is effective and safe to use on: • Class A ordinary combustible fires; and • Class B flammable liquid fires.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 35 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Foam must never be used on: • Class C flammable gas fires. • Class E live electrical equipment fires; or • Class F cooking oil fires. When using a foam extinguisher to extinguish a flammable liquid fire, arch the stream and allow the foam to drop onto the surface of the liquid to create a blanket. Don’t aim the stream into the liquid because this will drive the foam beneath the surface and lose the smothering effect. Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguishers Dry Chemical Powder extinguishers are a red cylinder with a white horizontal band. The chemical powder extinguishes the fire by breaking the chain reaction between the fuel vapours and the oxygen. The powder also smothers the fuel. They can safely be used on: • Class A ordinary combustible fires. • Class B flammable liquid fires • Class C flammable gas fires; and • Class E live electrical equipment fires. Dry Chemical Powder is very effective in “knocking down” the f lame of a fire but it is not a good coolant. If the powder is dispersed and the fuel is exposed to oxygen a re-ignition can occur. Dry Chemical Powder is generally used to “knock down” the fire and another medium is used to cool down the fuel. When using a Dry Chemical Powder extinguisher, particularly with a flammable liquid fire, direct the powder jet towards the nearest edge of the fire and with a quick sweeping action drive the fire away from you until all the flames are extinguished. With live energised equipment fires, direct the powder jet straight at the fire.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 36 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Carbon Dioxide Gas Fire Extinguishers Carbon Dioxide gas extinguishers have a red cylinder with a black horizontal band. Carbon Dioxide gas extinguishes the fire by smothering and cooling the burning fuel. Carbon Dioxide gas is heavier than air and when it is discharged under pressure it displaces the oxygen that is necessary to keep the fire burning. The temperature of the gas is about minus 60 degrees Celsius which quickly removes the heat. Carbon Dioxide gas is used on Class B flammable liquid fires and is very effective on Class (E) live electrical equipment fires because the gas is non-conductive and non-corrosive. It should not be used on Class F cooking oil fires because the high discharge pressure of the gas can cause the cooking oil to splash and spread the fire. Also, they should never be used on a Class C flammable gas fire. Carbon Dioxide Gas should be applied with the same sweeping action used for applying Dry Chemical Powder. Never grip the discharge horn of a Carbon Dioxide extinguisher, except where an insulated foam handle is provided. The exposed discharge horn will quickly drop to the same temperature of the gas - minus 60 degrees Celsius. If you must use a Carbon Dioxide gas extinguisher in a confined space, such as an electrical sub- station, your oxygen supply can also be affected. As soon as you have extinguished the fire, evacuated the area and allowed it to ventilate. Some processing plants, such as Gold Milling plants, use cyanide in their process. Never use a Carbon Dioxide extinguisher where cyanide is being used or stored. Discharging Carbon Dioxide gas onto cyanide creates Hydrogen Cyanide gas that is a highly lethal gas. Inhaling as little as 270 parts per million is enough to kill you instantly - this can be as little as one or two breaths.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 37 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers Wet Chemical extinguishers are Red with an Oatmeal Band cylinder. Wet Chemical extinguishers contain a mixture of 90% water and an emulsifying chemical which converts into a soap like material when it contacts cooking fats and oils. The Wet Chemical smothers the fire by sealing off the surface of the cooking oil with a chemical blanket. The water content also prevents re-ignition by reducing the temperature of the fat or oil below its flash point temperature. Wet Chemical extinguishers are used to extinguish Class F cooking oil and fat fires but can also extinguish Class A ordinary combustible fires. They should never be used on Class B flammable liquid fires because the chemical agent only reacts with cooking fats and oils. Also, they should never be used on: • Class C flammable gas fires, or • Class E live electrical equipment fires. When using a Wet Chemical extinguisher, a fine jet should be arched onto the burning oil or fat, to allow the Wet Chemical to form a blanket. A jet should not be directed into the oil or fat so as to prevent splashing and spreading of the fire. The Wet Chemical agent is slightly alkaline so care should be taken when handling the liquid. If contact is made with the eyes or skin, flush with water. If the agent is swallowed, dilute with water and seek medical attention.

To be able to deal with Dangerous goods / hazards materials incidents, you need to: • understand the relevant legislation • understand the relevant Codes of Practice, Standards. • follow workplace procedures for incidents, hazards and emergencies. Safe work Australia maintains the Hazardous Chemical Information System (HCIS) . This is an online database which contains classification information on Hazardous substances that have been classified in accordance with the Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). It should be noted that the HCIS database is not a comprehensive source of classification information for hazardous workplace substances. The is does not mean if the substance is not found on the HCIS database that the substance is not hazardous. The HCIS is an online advisory service that is available to assist you in finding information on chemicals. The International Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG) Code was developed as a uniform international code for the transport of dangerous goods by sea . It covers such matters as packing, container traffic and stowage, with reference to the segregation of incompatible substances. The Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG) covers the requirements for transporting Dangerous Goods by Road or Rail. Legislation Legislation, also known as Statutes or Acts of Parliament , is the written law created by Parliament. It is one of the two primary sources of the Law (the other being 'Case Law' - the decisions made by courts).

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 39 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Codes of Practice Codes of practice provide detailed safety and standards information on specific work tasks. A code of practice provides detailed information on specific work tasks to help you achieve the standards required under the work health and safety (WHS) laws. These do not replace the WHS laws, but codes of practice can help make understanding what you must do a little easier. Standards Australian standards set out specifications and design procedures to ensure products and services consistently perform safely, reliably, and the way they're intended to. There are 2 types of standards, mandatory and voluntary. Mandatory standards are law, and there are penalties for supplying products that don't comply with them. They are developed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in conjunction with public and industry consultation. There are 2 types of mandatory product standards: • Safety standards – requiring goods to comply with performance, composition, contents, methods of manufacture or processing, design, construction, finish or packaging rules. • Information standards – requiring prescribed information such as labelling, clear instructions and warnings against possible misuse. Voluntary standards are published documents and generally represent best practice. They're not automatic legal requirements and are developed by non-government bodies such as Standards Australia , and the international body ISO (International Organization for Standardization). Hazardous Classes Australia has adopted an international system for classifying and labelling dangerous goods. This system helps you recognise dangerous goods, their properties and dangers.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 40 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Dangerous goods are divided into nine classes based on their properties. All packages and transport containers must carry the correct Class Label. Labels are colour coded and display a symbol and class number for ease of identification. HTTP:// https://www.mivekaglobal.com/dgr-classifications Sub Classes Materials that are dangerous are classified into nine hazard classes based on their most significant risk. These classes are: 1. Explosives 2. Compressed or Liquefied Gases 3. Flammable liquids 4. Flammable solids 5. Oxidising agents 6. Toxic substances 7. Radioactive materials 8. Corrosives 9. Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods Some of these major classes are broken down into sub classes. Class 1 Explosives Class 1 Explosives does not have sub-classes but is divided into the following hazard divisions based on their hazard level: 1.1: Substances that have a mass explosion hazard. 1.2: Substances that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 41 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 1.3: Substances that have a fire hazard and either a minor blast or projection hazard but NOT a mass explosion hazard. 1.4: Substances that present only a small hazard if ignited. 1.5: Substances that have a mass explosion hazard but are very insensitive that the probability of detonation under normal conditions is unlikely. 1.6: Substances that do not have a mass explosion hazard but are extremely insensitive that the probability of detonation under normal conditions is unlikely. Class 2 Compressed or Liquefied Gases Gases - can be either compressed gases such as compressed air, liquefied gases such as LPG, or a solution of a gas in a liquid such as acetylene. The major hazard of gases is that they can expand explosively if heated or mishandled. Gases can also be flammable or toxic. Sub-Classes Class 2 is sub-divided based on the primary hazard of the gas during transport: Class 2.1 Flammable gases: Gases which ignite on contact with a source of ignition. Most flammable gases are heavier than air, and as such will settle in low areas. Examples: Acetylene, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), Hydrogen. Class 2.2 Non-flammable, nontoxic gases: Gases that are not flammable when exposed to a heat source. Gases are usually compressed so containers may rocket if valves are damaged. Some of these gases may also present an asphyxiation risk in confined spaces. Examples: Air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen. Class 2.3 Poisonous gases: These gases are toxic and may cause serious injury or death to humans if inhaled. Most poison gases are heavier than air. Examples: Chlorine, Methyl Bromide, Nitric Oxide. Class 3 Flammable Liquids - are liquids that can catch fire at low temperatures and continue to burn. Examples: Petrol, Kerosene. Sub-Classes: There are no sub-classes for this class.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 42 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Class 4 Flammable Solids - are solids that can easily catch on fire or may contribute to a fire or are likely to spontaneously catch on fire in the air or if they come in contact with water. Class 4.1 Flammable Solids: Solids which are easily ignited and readily combustible. Examples: Sulfur, Phosphorous, Picric Acid. Class 4.2 Spontaneously Combustible: These materials will catch fire if exposed to air without any heat being applied. Examples: Charcoal (non-activated). Class 4.3 Dangerous when wet: Moisture from the air may cause ignition. Examples: Calcium Carbide. Class 5 Oxidising Substances - are materials that can help other substances burn by supplying oxygen to them. Class 5.1 Oxidising Agent: Oxidisers may cause fire when brought into contact with finely divided combustible materials and may burn with almost explosive violence. Examples: Calcium Hypochlorite - Swimming Pool Chlorine, Sodium Peroxide. Class 5.2 Organic Peroxides (liquid or solid): These materials are either liquids or solids which support the burning of combustible materials. Many organic peroxides will burn rapidly and may react with other substances. Examples: Benzoyl Peroxides, Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxides (MEKP). Class 6 Toxic and Infectious Substances - are substances which if they enter the body can cause severe injury, illness or even death. 6.1a Poisons: These are liable to cause death or serious injury to humans if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. They are covered by special regulations and need special registration. Examples: Cyanides, Lead, Arsenic. 6.1b Harmful: These materials must be stored away from foodstuffs but are not classified as poisons. Examples: Pesticides, Heavy Metals.

Examples: Uranium, Plutonium, Radio Isotopes. Sub-Classes: There are no sub-classes for this class. Class 8 Corrosive Substances - can chemically react living tissue or their packaging or surrounding materials causing severe damage or injury. Special protective equipment needs to wear when handling these materials. Examples: Hydrochloric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide. Sub-Classes: There are no sub-classes for this class. Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods - are materials that can be dangerous when stored or transported but are not covered by the other classes. Examples: Aerosols, Dry Ice, Asbestos. Sub-Classes: There are no sub-classes for this class. Signage The symbol for each hazard class consists of a specific colour. • Red = flammable • Yellow = reactive or supports combustion • Orange = explosive • Blue = dangerous when wet with water • White = toxic or corrosive and • The name of the class • A picture representing the hazard • The hazard class number

Materials are allocated to packing groups based on how hazardous the material. • Great danger - Packing Group I • Medium danger - Packing Group II • Minor danger - Packing Group III The packing group describes the quantity of material that can be placed in one container and the type of container that can be used to package the material. Hazchem Code The HAZCHEM code indicates the types of emergency responses that will be required when a dangerous material leaks, spills or catches on fire. If an incident occurs, the code tells the Fire and Rescue Service how to deal with the dangerous goods implicated in the incident. It is placed on vehicles that transport dangerous goods, and storage facilities that store dangerous goods. A HAZCHEM code is made of 2 or 3 characters.

When building a composite code for a mixture of materials, it is first necessary to know the code of each of the materials. Then, the following rules apply: 1. The first character (number) of the code for the mixture is the highest number of any of the compo nent’s codes. 2. The second character (letter) is found from the grid on the left by using the letter of each component code (two at a time) and finding the intersecting cell. 3. If any of the components have an E as the third character, then the final HAZCHEM code for the combination will also have an E.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 50 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 UN Numbers Many dangerous goods may be called by different names including the technical name or the manufacturer's brand name. To positively identify a particular substance a unique number is given to the substance. This is called the United Nations Number and is applied to the same substance no matter what it is called or where the substance is located in the world. Emergency Information Panel (PIP) When single materials are transported or stored in bulk, they have an EMERGENCY INFORMATION PANEL (EIP). The panel contains the: • name of the dangerous material • UN number • hazard class • HAZCHEM code • manufacturer contact details • emergency information. The panels must be located on the side of a bulk storage container or an enclosure where the material is in bulk storage.

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 51 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Emergency Information At the main entrance of the warehouse there should be a placard warning that there are hazardous materials stored within. The warning sign should show the word HAZCHEM and also display emergency contact numbers. When mixed classes of dangerous goods are stored together a HAZCHEM code is calculated. This HAZCHEM code and the labels for each of the classes must be displayed on an emergency information panel in prominent positions. Emergency Information Panels (EIP) Displays Emergency Information Panels should be displayed: • at the main entrance to any building in which dangerous goods are stored • at every point of entrance in a room or other area where dangerous goods are stored • adjacent to outdoor areas where dangerous goods are stored • mounted on or adjacent to any tank or bulk storage container. Safety Data Sheets / Labelling and Signage Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provide information about the hazards of a substance and how to use it safely. Information you would find in a SDS includes: • the nature of the risks the material poses • the health effects the material can cause • the correct storage and handling procedures

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 52 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 • the emergency procedures in the case of a spill or a fire. SDS in the workplace A register of hazardous chemicals used, handled, or stored at the workplace must be prepared and kept up to date at the workplace and must also include the current SDS for each of these chemicals. It is important that anybody who might be exposed to hazardous substances should have ready access to information about the materials they are handling. This register must be readily available to all workers who use or may be affected by the chemicals at the workplace. All employees should know where they can get access to an SDS. These will include people who: • receive the substance into the warehouse • stage and repack the substance • pick the substance for an order • despatch the substance • drivers who transport the material. Copies of SDS should be kept in a location close to the area in which the substances are used and be easily accessed by employees who use or handle the substances. What information is contained in an SDS? An SDS which complies with the WHS Regulations contains the following 16 separate sections each with specific information relating to the chemical being used, handled, stored, transported, or disposed of. • Section 1 - Identification: Contains the product identifier or tradename, contact details of the manufacturer or importer responsible for supplying the chemical, and the telephone number to contact in case of an emergency. The information in this section should be consistent with the label. • Section 2 – Hazard(s) identification: Gives details on the potential health and physical hazards of the chemical. This information can be used to help assess the risks to the health and safety of workers, other people, and the environment. The information in this section should be consistent with the information on the label. In some cases, there may be more information on the SDS than on the label. • Section 3 - Composition and information on ingredients: If the chemical is a mixture, this section should provide the information on the identity and proportions of hazardous ingredients in the mixture. • Section 4 - First-aid measures: Describes the required first aid measures to be taken in case of an accident. • Section 5 - Fire-fighting measures: Gives specific information on fighting a fire involving the chemical, including the most suitable extinguishing media and other protective measures to be undertaken.

This section is used primarily by medical professionals, toxicologists and WHS professionals. • Section 12 - Ecological information: Provides detailed information on the ecological hazard properties of the chemical. • Section 13 - Disposal considerations: Details how the chemical should be disposed of correctly or recycled or reclaimed. • Section 14 - Transport information: Contains basic classification information like UN number and transport hazard classes and packing groups that relate to the transport of the chemical by road, rail, sea, or air. • Section 15 - Regulatory information: Provides advice on other international or national regulatory information specific to the chemical, such as the Montreal protocol (ozone depleting substances), the Stockholm Convention (Persistent organic pollutants), Poisons scheduling or any other applicable Australian prohibition, notification, or licensing requirements. • Section 16 - Any other relevant information: Provides any other information relevant to the preparation of the SDS, including the date of its preparation, a key or legend to abbreviations acronyms and references used. Labelling Containers All materials should be in containers that are correctly labelled. Information on the label is like the information in the SDS but is presented in short phrases for quick reference. If the container has a capacity of greater than 500 ml the label should contain the following information. • Class label

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 54 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 • Identification information - The product name, the chemical name (as defined below), the UN Number and a list of ingredients determined to be hazardous, where there is more than one such ingredient in the product, should be included on the label. This information is necessary for the identification of the hazardous properties of a product. Product name: The product name by which the substance is to be known should be included on the label. This may be identical to the trade name. Chemical name: Where the chemical name is identical to the product name, the name need not be duplicated. UN number: Where the substance is defined as a dangerous good in the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods, the UN Number should be provided. Ingredients: In most cases, there should be full disclosure of ingredients determined to be hazardous. • Risk Phrase/s - Risk phrases convey a general description of the hazard to supplement the dangerous goods class and subsidiary risk label(s) and/or signal word(s). These phrases should give notice of the hazards present with the normal, or reasonably foreseeable, handling or use of the substance. • For example: • Flammable • Irritating to skin • Harmful if swallowed. • Directions for use (where appropriate) • Safety Phrases - All materials should be in containers that are correctly labelled. Information on the label is like the information in the SDS but is presented in short phrases for quick reference. If the container has a capacity of greater than 500 ml the label should contain the following information. • Class label • Identification information • Risk Phrase/s • Directions for use (where appropriate) • Safety Phrases • First Aid procedures - First aid instructions should be included where contact or exposure to the substance warrants immediate treatment. First aid instructions should be limited to procedures based on methods and materials commonly available. • For example: • wash exposed skin with plenty of warm water • transfer patient to fresh air • remove contaminated clothing.

If the product name is not known, then the following should be clearly marked on the container: "Caution do not use: Unknown substance". Containers which are not properly labelled should be stored in isolation until its content is identified. If the substance is hazardous the container should be appropriately labelled. If the content of an unlabelled container cannot be identified the contents should be disposed of in an acceptable manner in consultation with a relevant waste management authority. Handling and Storage Personal Protective equipment Personal Protective equipment provides a last line of protection against exposure to toxic and corrosive materials. If an incident occurs correctly selected and fitted protective equipment can make all the difference between a person receiving an injury and coping safely with the situation. Personal Protective equipment should be available to enable safe handling of any dangerous goods or hazardous substances that are in the warehouse.

List 5 hazards that are associated with dangerous goods? a. Hazard 1 Health Hazards – either acute or chronic b. Hazard 2 Flammable c. Hazard 3 Corrosive d. Hazard 4 Explosive e. Hazard 5 Chemically reactive or Oxidising chemicals 2. What is the difference between an acute and a chronic effect of a dangerous material? ACUTE EFFECTS - An effect of a material that happens immediately a person is exposed. The effects are often quite dramatic like unconsciousness, nausea, or even death. CHRONIC EFFECTS - An effect that occurs after prolonged exposure to the material. Often the effects gradually increase until they become quite severe or even fatal. 3. Describe the difference between a Code of Practice, Government Regulations and an Act of Parliament. An Act (of Parliament) is a Bill which has passed all three readings in each House of Parliament and becomes law. Acts are also known as Statues. Regulations are created under the authority of an Act. Codes of practice provide detailed safety and standards information on specific work tasks. 4. Complete the following grid with either the name of the dangerous goods class or its class number. Dangerous Goods Class Number Dangerous Goods Class Name a . 6 Poisonous 5.1 b. Oxidising Agent c. 2 Flammable Gas 4.3 d. Dangerous when wet e. 1 Explosive

Explain why some dangerous goods have a principle and a subsidiary dangerous goods class. Some substances can be dangerous in more than one way. The greater risk is called the primary risk and the lesser subsidiary risk. Compressed oxygen, for example is both a gas and an oxidising substance. 6. How can you identify the subsidiary risk of dangerous goods? The signs for the primary and subsidiary risk looks much the same except the subsidiary risk symbol does not have the hazard class number. 7. Who should have access to Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in a warehouse and where should the SDSs be located? All employees and anyone else who may be impacted by the substance must have access to the SDS and know where they are located. 8. Dangerous Goods are often allocated to a packaging group. What is the significance of a packaging group? Materials are allocated to packing groups based on how hazardous the material. The packing group describes the quantity of material that can be placed in one container and the type of container that can be used to package the material. 9. List 5 main types of information that a Safety Data Sheet should be able to provide to a person who is about to handle a dangerous or hazardous material. Any of the following: Section 1 – Identification Section 2 – Hazard(s) identification Section 3 - Composition and information on ingredients Section 4 - First-aid measures Section 5 - Fire-fighting measures Section 6 - Accidental release measures Section 7 - Handling and storage Section 8 - Exposure controls and personal protection Section 9 - Physical and chemical properties

Document name: TLID0021_SW Page 73 of 86 Resource ID: SEMX_22_002_TLID0021_SW | Version: 20220628 © TAFE NSW 2021 Section 10 - Stability and reactivity Section 11 - Toxicological information Section 12 - Ecological information Section 13 - Disposal considerations Section 14 - Transport information Section 15 - Regulatory information Section 16 - Any other relevant information 10. Describe how you would deal with a container of a dangerous substance that you have found in your that does not have a label on it identifying its contents. Containers which are not properly labelled should be stored in isolation until its content is identified. If the substance is hazardous the container should be appropriately labelled. If the content of an unlabelled container cannot be identified the contents should be disposed of in an acceptable manner in consultation with a relevant waste management authority. 11. What type of information does the HAZCHEM code of dangerous good provide? The HAZCHEM code indicates the types of emergency responses that will be required when a dangerous material leaks, spills or catches on fire. 12. Where should Emergency Information Panels be located around a warehouse and what types of information should be on these panels in each location? Emergency Information Panels should be displayed: at the main entrance to any building in which dangerous goods are stored at every point of entrance in a room or other area where dangerous goods are stored adjacent to outdoor areas where dangerous goods are stored mounted on or adjacent to any tank or bulk storage container. 13. Some classes of dangerous goods are not compatible with other classes. How must classes of chemicals that are incompatible with each other be stored? Segregated. Use the Segregation table to determine if the materials can be stored together safely.
