Management Report on Gas Compound, Bulk Acid Store and Clean Room
Introduction
The purpose of this inspection was to identify hazards and/or breaches of Health and
Safety legislation and to highlight the findings and action recommendations to the
management of the organization.
Summary
The plant is kept in very good condition, well lit and with the Health and Safety of
employees an obvious company objective. The site induction I received being both
extensive and through. Other positive signs where the staff Safety notice boards, the
provision of incident reporting sheets in key locations and the proficient fire alarm checks
which took place whilst I was on site. The site itself is clearly signed with respect to
emergency evacuation and restricted areas. The operation of a key card system is also
distinct Health and Safety advantage.
I did, however, make a number of observations (see attached sheets) the majority of
which can be remedied immediately with little or no cost. There were some areas of
concern and one example of extremely dangerous behavior the details of which are
contained on this report.
Details and Recommendations
1. The exposed pipe work at the side of the walkway presents a number of hazards
from trips, to exposure to hazardous substances and must be addressed urgently.
The high visibility kicks/ trip guards already installed work well but all pipes at
ground level should be similarly protected. (ITEMS 1+2)
COST: $ 1500 + IN HOUSE LABOUR
LEGISLATION: Health and Safety at work etc. ACT (1974) Control of
Substances Hazardous to Health (1999)
Conclusion
Although there is much good practice in evidence throughout the plant there are 2 items
of real concern. The ease of access to the plant and employees contravening the safe
systems of work that exist. These matters need to be addressed urgently. The
expenditure required weighed against the potentially unlimited fines and compensation
not to mention serious injury and even loss of life. However encouragement should be
taken from the willingness of all employees to be involved and recognize their
responsibility to site wide health and safety.
