Verbally interviewed Control measure Description Elimination The highest level of control involves completely removing the hazard from the workplace. This may mean discontinuing a process, removing a substance, or finding a way to perform the task without exposing workers to the hazard. Substitution This control measure involves replacing a hazardous substance or process with a less hazardous one. It aims to reduce the risk by using a safer alternative while maintaining the essential function. Isolation Isolation involves separating workers from the hazard, either by physical barriers or by conducting the task in a controlled environment. This prevents direct exposure to the hazard Engineering Engineering controls modify the workplace or the process to reduce the risk. Examples include installing ventilation systems, enclosing a noisy machine, or using automated equipment to reduce manual handling. Administration Administrative controls focus on changing the way people work. This may include implementing policies, procedures, training, and scheduling to minimize exposure to hazards. While effective, it relies on human behavior and compliance. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) PPE is the last line of defense and involves providing workers with equipment to protect them from the remaining risk after other control measures have been implemented. This can include items such as safety goggles, gloves, helmets, or respiratory protection. 1.7 Complete the following table with a tick to indicate if you think the statement is True or False. □ Verbally interviewed CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Assessment Workbook CPCCWHS2001 Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry V1 © ATAR Design.

1.15 State the 3 main areas of bodily injuries that occur due to poor or incorrect manual handling techniques. Verbally interviewed 1 Musculoskeletal Injuries: Strains and Sprains: Incorrect lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying heavy objects can lead to strains and sprains in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Overexertion or sudden movements can cause these injuries, affecting the back, shoulders, neck, and other body parts involved in manual handling. Muscle Tears: Excessive force, awkward postures, or repetitive movements can result in muscle tears. These injuries often occur when the muscles are subjected to more stress than they can handle. Herniated Discs: Poor lifting techniques, especially lifting heavy objects with a bent spine, can contribute to herniated discs. This condition involves the displacement of the cushion-like discs between the vertebrae, leading to pain and discomfort. 2 Joint Injuries: Joint Strain: Manual handling activities that involve improper posture or excessive force can strain the joints. This may lead to joint pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Dislocations: Inadequate lifting techniques or sudden movements can cause joint dislocations, where the ends of bones are forced out of their normal positions. 3 Traumatic Injuries: Cuts and Abrasions: Poor handling techniques may result in injuries such as cuts and abrasions, especially when dealing with sharp objects or surfaces. These injuries can occur during lifting, transporting, or manipulating objects. Bruises and Contusions: Trauma from handling objects or materials can cause bruises and contusions on various parts of the body. Fractures: Incorrect lifting or dropping heavy objects can lead to fractures in bones, especially in the extremities.

1 Power Tools Without Dust Suppression: Example: Angle grinders, rotary sanders, or power saws without appropriate dust suppression mechanisms. Reason: These tools can generate high levels of dust, potentially releasing asbestos fibers into the air. The use of power tools without effective dust control measures is generally prohibited in asbestos-containing areas 2 High-Pressure Water Jets: Example: High-pressure water jets or water blasting equipment. Reason: Using high-pressure water jets on asbestos-containing materials can result in the dispersion of asbestos fibers. This method is often prohibited due to the potential for increased airborne asbestos contamination. 3 Compressed Air or Broom Cleaning: Example: Compressed air hoses or brooms for cleaning surfaces. Reason: Cleaning methods that involve blowing or sweeping surfaces with compressed air or brooms can disturb asbestos-containing dust and contribute to fiber release. These methods are generally restricted in asbestos work areas. 1.19 Sketch the safety signs for the following: Verbally interviewed Asbest os Flammable Liquid Class 3 Symbol: The international symbol for asbestos consists of a black, stylized "A" inside a black circle with an arrow going around it. The background is typically white or light-colored. Symbol: The symbol for flammable liquids, including Class 3, is a black flame icon.

1. Class B Fires: Flammable Liquids and Gases: Examples: Gasoline, oil, grease, propane, butane. Usage: CO2 extinguishers are effective in suppressing fires involving flammable liquids and gases by displacing the oxygen around the fire, thus disrupting the combustion process. 2. Class C Fires: Electrical Fires: Examples: Electrical equipment, wiring, appliances. Usage: CO2 extinguishers are safe to use on electrical fires as they do not leave a residue. The CO2 gas is non- conductive, making it suitable for extinguishing fires involving energized electrical equipment. Important Considerations: CO2 extinguishers are not designed for Class A fires (ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, cloth). When using a CO2 extinguisher on a Class B fire, it's essential to aim the discharge at the base of the flames and sweep from side to side. CO2 extinguishers should be used with caution in confined spaces, as the discharge can displace oxygen. As with any fire extinguisher, proper training and understanding of the fire classification are crucial for effective and safe use. Always follow safety guidelines and consult local regulations for accurate information. 1.20 For what type of fire will you use this type of extinguisher? □ Verbally interviewed CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Assessment Workbook CPCCWHS2001 Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry V1 © ATAR Design.

Fuel type Type of extinguisher Petrol Recommended Extinguisher: Foam or Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher. Cooking oil Recommended Extinguisher: Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher. LPG Recommended Extinguisher: Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher. Electrical Recommended Extinguisher: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguisher or Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher. Grass Recommended Extinguisher: Water or Foam Fire Extinguisher. Wood Recommended Extinguisher: Water or Foam Fire Extinguisher. Plastic Recommended Extinguisher: Water or Foam Fire Extinguisher for solid plastic; Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher for liquid plastic. 1.22Is a water-based fire extinguisher suitable for electrical fires? Why or why not? Verbally interviewed No, a water-based fire extinguisher is not suitable for electrical fires. Water is a conductor of electricity, and using a water-based extinguisher on an electrical fire can lead to serious consequences, including electric shock and further escalation of the fire. When water is sprayed on an electrical fire, it can: 1. Conduct Electricity: Water enhances the conductivity of electricity, increasing the risk of electric shock to the person attempting to extinguish the fire. 2. Spread the Fire: Water may not effectively extinguish electrical fires, and it can cause the fire to spread by dispersing conductive materials or creating a steam explosion. To address electrical fires safely, it's recommended to use a fire extinguisher specifically designed for Class C fires, which involve energized electrical equipment. The most suitable fire extinguisher for electrical fires is a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguisher or a Dry Powder fire extinguisher. Both of these types are non-conductive and can suppress the fire without posing an additional electrical hazard. Always follow safety guidelines, receive proper training on fire extinguisher use, and consult local regulations for accurate information on fire safety. 1.21 What type of fire extinguisher should be used to extinguish the following types of fires?

Part 1: Risk Assessment Rating Matrix Use this table to determine the current risk and residual risk for each identified task and hazard. Consider the following: 1. What is the worst possible consequence of this hazard? 2. Almost Certain (Likelihood): There is an extremely high chance of the hazard occurring. Consequence: Extreme This indicates that the worst possible consequence of the hazard is catastrophic, signifying severe and irreversible damage or harm. 3. Likely (Likelihood): The hazard has a moderate to high chance of occurring. Consequence: Extreme Again, this suggests that the worst consequence is catastrophic, emphasizing the severe nature of the potential outcome. 4. Possible (Likelihood): The hazard may occur but with a low probability. Consequence: Extreme Even with a low likelihood, the consequence remains categorized as extreme, indicating the severity of the potential impact. 5. Unlikely (Likelihood): The hazard is not probable, but there is a moderate chance. Consequence: High While the likelihood is reduced, the consequence is still categorized as high, implying a significant impact. 6. Rare (Likelihood): The hazard has a very low chance of occurring. Consequence: High Despite the rarity of the hazard, the consequence is considered high, suggesting a notable impact if it were to happen. 2. What is the likelihood of this occurring? The likelihood in a risk assessment matrix is typically assessed on a scale ranging from "Almost certain" to "Rare." The specific likelihood category for a hazard is determined based on the probability of the hazard occurring. It helps in evaluating the frequency or probability of the event. Here's a brief explanation of the likelihood categories: 1. Almost Certain: There is an extremely high chance of the hazard occurring. 2. Likely: The hazard has a moderate to high chance of occurring. 3. Possible: The hazard may occur but with a low probability. 4. Unlikely: The hazard is not probable, but there is a moderate chance. 5. Rare: The hazard has a very low chance of occurring. To determine the likelihood for a specific hazard, assess the probability of its occurrence based on available data, historical information, expert opinions, or any relevant factors. Assigning the appropriate likelihood category is crucial for accurately assessing and managing risks. Consequen ce Insignific ant Minor Moder ate Major Catastrop hic

Risks will be prioritised and managed as follows: Severity Description Extreme Extreme risk; immediate action required High High risk; senior management attention needed Moderate Moderate risk; management responsibility must be specified Low Low risk; manage by routine procedures Hierarchy of Control The Hierarchy of Control outlines the types of controls that can be implemented to mitigate and eliminate safety hazards. Effectiveness Type of control Example Most effective Least effective Elimination Discontinue use of product or equipment, and cease work process. Substitution Can the task, process, equipment be substituted with a less hazardous one? Isolation Can the hazard be isolated to prevent exposure? Engineering controls Can the task, equipment, process be re-designed to reduce the risk? Administration controls Provide training, information to employees to ensure they can work safely.

Part 3: Model Codes of Practice What is a hazardous manual task? A hazardous manual task refers to any activity that requires a person to use force, carry, move, or hold an object. These tasks can pose a risk of injury due to factors such as awkward postures, repetitive movements, or excessive force. Hazardous manual tasks are often associated with tasks that involve lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, or restraining objects, as well as repetitive or sustained activities. In a workplace context, it's crucial to identify and assess hazardous manual tasks to implement appropriate control measures and minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and other injuries. This process typically involves conducting risk assessments, providing training and equipment, and designing work processes to reduce the physical strain on workers. The movement of formwork components around site should be minimised as much as possible as the loads can be heavy and awkward to handle. Inevitably however there will be some manual lifting and carrying. Suggest 3 strategies to minimise the risk of injury associated with manually moving formwork components. 1 Provide Mechanical Assistance: Use mechanical aids such as trolleys, dollies, or wheelbarrows to transport formwork components. This reduces the physical strain on workers and minimizes the need for direct manual lifting. Utilize lifting equipment like cranes or forklifts for heavier or more awkward loads, eliminating the need for manual lifting entirely. 2 Implement Proper Training and Techniques: Provide comprehensive training to workers on proper lifting techniques, emphasizing the use of leg muscles, maintaining a straight back, and keeping the load close to the body. Encourage team lifting for heavier loads, ensuring that the load is distributed evenly among workers and reducing the strain on any one individual. 3 Modify Work Practices and Workstations: Design workstations to minimize the need for manual handling, ensuring that formwork components are positioned at an ergonomic height for easy access. Plan and organize work processes to limit the distance formwork components need to be manually moved. This can reduce the frequency and duration of manual lifting tasks. Provide 3 solutions to minimise manual handling risks associated shovelling sand and moving bags of cement. 1 Mechanical Assistance: Use mechanical equipment, such as wheelbarrows or conveyor belts, to move bulk materials like sand and cement. This reduces the need for workers to manually shovel or carry heavy loads. Employ machinery, such as forklifts or pallet jacks, to transport pallets of cement bags, eliminating the manual lifting and carrying of individual bags. 2 Ergonomic Work Practices: Provide training on proper shoveling techniques, emphasizing the use of leg muscles, maintaining a straight back, and using short, controlled movements to reduce strain on the back and shoulders. Use ergonomic tools with handles designed to reduce stress on the wrists and hands, improving grip and control during shoveling tasks. 3 Implement Administrative Controls: Modify work schedules to incorporate regular breaks and job rotation to prevent overexertion and fatigue. Conduct risk assessments to identify and address potential hazards in the manual handling process, and involve workers in the development of safe work procedures.

When work cannot be performed on the ground or from a solid construction, you, as a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU), must minimise the risk of a fall by providing a fall prevention device, if it is reasonably practicable to do so. What is a ‘temporary work platform’? A 'temporary work platform' refers to a structure or surface that is temporarily erected, installed, or used to provide a stable and secure working area at an elevated position. It is designed to support workers and their tools or equipment during tasks performed above ground level. Temporary work platforms are used to minimize the risk of falls when work cannot be conducted on the ground or from a solid construction. Examples of temporary work platforms include scaffolding, elevated platforms, and elevated work platforms (such as scissor lifts or cherry pickers). These platforms are typically set up for specific tasks or projects and are intended to be dismantled or removed once the work is completed. The design and installation of temporary work platforms should adhere to safety regulations and standards to ensure the protection of workers from the risk of falls. Where work is carried out from a scaffold, workers must be provided with information, training and instruction on the nature of the scaffolding work, the risks associated with the scaffolding and the control measures implemented to reduce that risk. What information, training and instruction should be provided? Give 5 examples. 1 Scaffold Safety Procedures: Workers should receive training on the specific safety procedures related to working on a scaffold. This includes information on how to access and egress the scaffold safely, proper use of guardrails, and adherence to load limits. 2 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment: Workers need to understand how to identify potential hazards associated with scaffolding work and how to assess the risks involved. This includes recognizing unstable ground conditions, understanding the risks of falling objects, and being aware of electrical hazards. 3 Correct Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Training should cover the proper use of personal protective equipment, including harnesses, helmets, and other safety gear. Workers should understand how to inspect, wear, and maintain their PPE to ensure effectiveness. 4 Fall Prevention and Protection: Information on fall prevention measures and fall protection systems should be provided. This includes proper use of guardrails, safety nets, and personal fall arrest systems. Workers should be trained on how to mitigate the risk of falls and what to do in case of a fall. 5 Emergency Procedures: Workers should be instructed on the emergency procedures specific to scaffolding work. This includes evacuation procedures, first aid protocols, and the location and proper use of emergency equipment such as first aid kits and fire extinguishers.

Discuss the effects asbestos can have on your health. Asbestos exposure poses severe health risks due to the microscopic fibers released into the air. The effects of asbestos on health can be detrimental, leading to various diseases, many of which have long latency periods. Here are some of the health effects associated with asbestos exposure: 1. Asbestosis: Description: Asbestosis is a chronic lung condition caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers. These fibers scar and stiffen the lung tissue, impairing respiratory function. Symptoms: Shortness of breath, persistent cough, chest tightness, and clubbing of fingers. 2. Lung Cancer: Description: Long-term exposure to asbestos increases the risk of developing lung cancer. Smoking combined with asbestos exposure significantly amplifies this risk. Symptoms: Persistent cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and unexplained weight loss. 3. Mesothelioma: Description: Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, heart, or testicles. Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma. Symptoms: Breathlessness, chest pain, persistent cough, abdominal swelling (in peritoneal mesothelioma), and weight loss. 4. Pleural Plaques: Description: Pleural plaques are areas of fibrous thickening on the pleura (lining of the lungs). While generally asymptomatic, they indicate past asbestos exposure. Symptoms: Typically asymptomatic but may be associated with pleuritic pain. 5.

Friable asbestos Definition: Friable asbestos refers to materials containing asbestos that can be easily crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. Characteristics: These materials are more loosely bound, allowing the asbestos fibers to become airborne more readily. Example: Sprayed-on insulation, asbestos pipe insulation, or certain types of asbestos-containing insulation board. Non-friable asbestos Definition: Non-friable asbestos refers to materials containing asbestos that are more tightly bound and less likely to release fibers when intact. Characteristics: These materials are more solid and less likely to become airborne under normal conditions. Example: Asbestos cement products (e.g., asbestos cement sheets or pipes), floor tiles, roofing materials, and other materials where asbestos is bound tightly within a matrix. List 4 non-friable asbestos containing material. 1 Asbestos Cement Products: Examples: Asbestos cement sheets, pipes, and shingles. Characteristics: Asbestos fibers are mixed with cement, creating a solid and durable material. 2 Vinyl Asbestos Floor Tiles: Examples: Floor tiles that contain asbestos fibers. Characteristics: Asbestos fibers are embedded in vinyl or asphalt material. 3 Roofing Felt and Shingles: Examples: Roofing materials such as felt and shingles containing asbestos. Characteristics: Asbestos fibers are incorporated into the roofing material. 4 Asbestos-Containing Gaskets and Seals: Examples: Gaskets and seals used in machinery and pipes. Characteristics: Asbestos fibers are integrated into materials like rubber or compressed asbestos fiber. A person with management or control of a workplace may identify asbestos or ACM by arranging for a sample of material at the workplace to be analysed for the presence of asbestos or ACM. Who has the authority to analyse a sample? Analyzing a sample of material for the presence of asbestos or asbestos-containing material (ACM) should be carried out by a qualified and accredited asbestos assessor or a laboratory with the necessary expertise.

1 Type of Asbestos: Different types of asbestos fibers pose varying degrees of risk. The three main types are chrysotile (white), amosite (brown), and crocidolite (blue). Crocidolite is generally considered the most hazardous. 2 Condition of Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM): The risk is influenced by the condition of the materials containing asbestos. If ACM is in good condition and undisturbed, the risk of exposure is lower. However, if materials are damaged, deteriorating, or undergoing maintenance, there is a higher risk of asbestos fibers becoming airborne. 3 Extent of Exposure: The duration and intensity of exposure to asbestos fibers are crucial factors. Prolonged and repeated exposure, especially in high concentrations, increases the risk of health problems. Short-term or low-level exposures may carry a lower risk. 4 Occupational vs. Non-occupational Exposure: Occupational settings where asbestos is commonly encountered, such as construction and demolition, pose a higher risk due to potential for direct contact. Non-occupational exposure can occur in environments where asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are present, like homes and public buildings. What is an asbestos register? An asbestos register is a formal document or record that contains detailed information about the presence, location, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) within a workplace or property. The purpose of an asbestos register is to assist in managing the risks associated with asbestos and ensuring compliance with relevant health and safety regulations. Key components of an asbestos register typically include: 1. Location of Asbestos: Detailed information on where asbestos-containing materials are present, including specific building, room, or area details. 2. Type of Asbestos: Identification of the type of asbestos present, such as chrysotile (white asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos), or crocidolite (blue asbestos). 3. Condition of Asbestos: Assessment of the current condition of asbestos- containing materials, indicating whether they are in good condition, damaged, or deteriorating. 4.

A PCBU must not use, or direct or allow a worker to use, specific equipment on asbestos or ACMunless the use of the equipment is controlled. Explain why. The use of specific equipment on asbestos or asbestos-containing materials (ACM) must be controlled due to the potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure. Asbestos, when disturbed, can release microscopic fibers into the air. Inhalation of these fibers poses serious health risks, including various respiratory diseases and cancers. Therefore, controlling the use of equipment is crucial to minimize the release of asbestos fibers and protect the health and safety of workers and others in the vicinity. Here are key reasons why the use of equipment on asbestos or ACM needs to be controlled: 1. Prevention of Fiber Release: Asbestos-containing materials are often stable when left undisturbed. However, using certain equipment, especially if it involves cutting, grinding, or other activities that can generate dust, may lead to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. Controlled use of equipment involves employing methods to prevent or minimize the generation and dispersion of asbestos fibers during activities that may disturb asbestos-containing materials. 2. Worker Protection: Workers who operate or are in proximity to equipment that may disturb asbestos are at risk of inhaling asbestos fibers. Inhalation is the primary route of asbestos exposure, and prolonged exposure can lead to severe health issues. Controlling the use of equipment is a fundamental measure to protect workers from unnecessary exposure and potential long-term health consequences. 3. Regulatory Compliance: Legal and regulatory requirements often mandate strict controls on the use of equipment in asbestos-related work. Compliance with these regulations is essential to ensure a safe working environment and avoid legal consequences for the PCBU. 4. Minimization of Environmental Contamination: Uncontrolled use of equipment can result in the dispersion of asbestos fibers not only in the immediate work area but also in the surrounding environment. This poses a risk to individuals beyond the immediate work site. Controlling equipment use helps minimize environmental contamination and the potential for exposure to asbestos fibers by the broader community.

Outline 4 techniques that prevent or minimise the generation of airborne asbestos fibres. 1 Wet Methods: Wetting asbestos-containing materials before, during, and after work is a primary technique to control the release of asbestos fibers. Water suppresses dust and prevents fibers from becoming airborne during activities such as cutting, drilling, or demolition. Using water in the form of a mist or by saturating materials helps to keep asbestos fibers contained and prevents them from becoming respirable. 2 Encapsulation: Encapsulation involves applying a sealant or coating to asbestos-containing materials to encapsulate the fibers and prevent them from being released into the air. This technique creates a barrier that binds the asbestos fibers together, reducing the risk of fiber release. Encapsulation is commonly used in situations where removing asbestos-containing materials is not feasible, and the goal is to provide a protective barrier. 3 Containment: Creating a containment area is essential when working with asbestos. This involves isolating the work area using physical barriers, such as plastic sheeting, to prevent the spread of asbestos dust to other parts of the building or environment. Containment also includes the use of negative air pressure systems to ensure that any air leaving the work area is filtered, capturing asbestos fibers before being released into the surrounding air. 4 Controlled Removal: When asbestos removal is necessary, employing controlled removal techniques is vital. This includes carefully planning and executing the removal process to minimize the disturbance of asbestos-containing materials. Techniques may involve using hand tools instead of power tools, carefully dismantling materials, and employing local exhaust ventilation to capture airborne fibers directly at the source.
