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 11: How you can install fall protection equipment such as scaffolding and guard rails?  Scaffold need to be installed on secured foundation  Measure the space between the screw jacks and begin positioning the scaffold frame above the screw jack. Use pins to secure the bracing to the frame's two ends. Additionally, use a spirit level to ensure the frame's level.  Lay planks across the scaffold's whole width. As it helps to provide guidance for subsequent planks, set the first board on the frame first, levelling and square it. There should be no more than a 10mm space between boards.  At the working platform, guard rails are installed to keep workers and machinery from falling out. Furthermore, ladders are the scaffold-like structure that serves as a stairway to access the working platform. A gate panel must be installed along the ladder, and the ladder's maximum slope should be 1:6.  After carefully inspecting the scaffold, the final bay should be assembled and the building process is then completed. Question 12: Explain some issues or events that can influence the uprightness and safety of scaffolding. The issues and events that can influence the uprightness and safety of scaffolding are:  Knocked – this happens when scaffold is erected near vehicle passages or shipment docks where it gets consistently knock and thumped.
