3.2 ACCIDENTS & EMERGENCIES (WHYALLA)

#1 Raise the alarm and contact emergency personnel. Do not hang up but
remain calm and give all details.

4000 on internal or 8640 4000 on external / mobile phones


#2 Keep well clear of live conductors to avoid risk of electric shock form ‘step’ or
‘touch’ potential..

DO NOT BECOME THE NEXT VICTIM


#3 Switch off power supply where practical.
If power cannot be immediately isolated and victim is unconscious or unable to
move, assess the accident site for hazards, take precautions against becoming
a victim yourself and:
 High Voltage, or if not sure: Do not rescue until voltage source has
been isolated and verified.
 Low Voltage, eg 240/415 volts: Move victim from danger using
insulated rescue crook or dry non conductor eg clothing, wood, clean
rope or sheet. Do not touch the victim’s skin or use anything metallic or
moist.

#4 Resuscitate unconscious electric shock victim. (Refer 1.2.6)

Transport all persons who have had an electric shock by Ambulance to the
hospital without delay. Advise Medical Staff of the shock details to enable
them to determine the path of electrical current through the body.
Severity of shock depends on magnitude, duration and path of current flow and
health of the victim.

Delayed effects of electrical shock can be severe, including internal organ


damage from inhaling hot arc products. Common direct and indirect effects
are muscle pain, burns, eye damage from arc flash or injuries from a fall.

Make safe the installation causing the electric shock but do not interfere with it
unnecessarily as to prevent a proper investigation of the accident.

Report electric shock as soon as practical to Liberty OneSteel Whyalla and


the Technical Regulator.

#5 Stay in the machine (vehicle, excavator, crane, etc) if it contacts live


conductors to avoid risk of electric shock.
Move machine clear if possible, to break contact with the live conductor.

If necessary to leave the machine, eg, fire, jump clear, landing with feet
together and do not touch the machine.
To leave a hazard site jump or take short ‘shuffle’ steps.

#6 Fight Low Voltage electric fires in the early stage with hand extinguishers if
practical and safe to do so.

Carbon Dioxide for small electrical or Dry Chemical powder for larger fires.
Otherwise keep well clear of the fire in electrical switchrooms or substations to
avoid hazard from burning oil, inhalation of toxic fumes from burning cables and
electric shock.

Keep others clear until trained and authorised personnel arrive.

Do not fight fires on HV equipment. Report the fire and wait.

Do not enter a switchroom if the alarm from automatic fire protection systems
is activated until the All Clear is given by Emergency Services.

Audible and visual evacuation alarms are activated prior to discharge. Contact
the Emergency Personnel with details unless you know they have been
contacted.

Not all automatic systems report to Security. To avoid false alarms when doing
maintenance work in protected switchrooms, contact emergency services
before starting work and again on completion so that the system can be
isolated.

3.2.1 Reporting Incidents / Accidents


Report all electric shock and incidents to your supervisor immediately. The
supervisor shall report the shock/incident to the SIMEC Mining/Liberty OneSteel
Whyalla Electrical Inspector as soon as possible or, in his absence or outside
normal hours the Electrical Flying Squad who will assist as required to conduct the
incident investigation as per WI37-CEN-009.

Report to the Technical Regulator, to be completed by the Electrical


Inspector
Immediately by phone for accidents involving death.
Within one working day when the victim requires medical assistance.
Within 10 working days for other cases.

Report to Safework SA

It is the Plant Managers responsibility to communicate with the SafeWork SA


office in case of electric shocks or significant electrical incident.

3.8 PLUMBING INSTALLATIONS

Dangerous situations can be created if plumbing equipment is rewired


incorrectly. Some SIMEC Mining / Liberty OneSteel Whyalla
installations have complex circuits.

The disconnection and reconnection of electrical components and any re-


wiring of plumbing installations with fixed wiring on a SIMEC Mining / Liberty
OneSteel Whyalla site shall only be done by a suitably qualified Electrician
and not a worker with a restricted Electrical Licence.

Those working on plumbing installations shall comply with the work scope,
the issued ATW and SIMEC Mining / Liberty OneSteel Whyalla electrical work
requirements.

General plumbing work: Workers can be at risk of electric shock during


routine work such as cutting water pipes if there is a faulty installation. Pipes
should be bridged across with cable connected insulated clamps such as
‘jumper leads’ before cutting.

SIMEC Mining / Liberty OneSteel Whyalla site installation with fixed


wiring: The isolation and electrical work shall be arranged through the
Electrical Supervisor who shall ensure that a suitably qualified Electrician
does the electrical work. Plumbers with restricted Electrical Licenses are not
permitted to disconnect / reconnect the electrical components or do any
wiring changes.

Outside SIMEC Mining / Liberty OneSteel Whyalla site (e.g. SIMEC Mining /
Liberty OneSteel Whyalla houses): A plumber with a restricted Electrical
License may work within its constraints. Where wiring, re-connection, circuit
modifications or component replacements are done a copy of the COC shall
be forwarded to SIMEC Mining / Liberty OneSteel Whyalla Electrical
Inspection Officer who will review and may verify the tests. The Contract
Control Officer shall supply the Electrical Inspection Officer with details of
plumbers likely to do such work.

Plumbing installations supplied with 240 volt socket outlet: A plumber


with a restricted Electrical License may switch off and remove plug from outlet
and then undertake repairs on the unit. The unit shall be inspected / tested /
tagged by an Electrician before it may be re-installed by the Plumber.

3.9 ‘CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE’ AND TESTING RESULTS

For all electrical work requiring inspecting / testing a Certificate of


Compliance form shall be accurately completed. This includes the
disconnection or reconnection of fixed wiring.

Information to include measured test required by AS3000 and the measured


results, e.g. earthing resistance, insulation resistance and fault loop
impedance, signed by the appropriate licenced electrical worker.

The tradeperson completing the Certificate of Compliance shall ensure that;


 Section “A” contains an accurate description of the work that has been
completed.
 Section “B” is the defect list of non-compliant issues that have been
identified but were not part of the tradeperson’s work. It is mandatory
to fill in this section. If no defects have been observed than simply
write “No Defects Observed”.

For SIMEC Mining / Liberty OneSteel Whyalla departments where


supervision exists, a SAP notification shall be raised to include the defects
requiring to be repaired. Consideration should be given for the larger type
issues whether they should also be entered into the departmental Hazard
Register. The tradesperson should consult his/her supervisor.

Retention period for Certificates of Compliance shall be 5 years for


contractors and SIMEC Mining / Liberty OneSteel Whyalla departments.

The Electrical Supervisor shall ensure that the earthing system resistance
value is maintained over time.

Distribution of Certificate of Compliance copies shall be as follows:


 Owner’s or Occupiers copy Electrical Inspectrate
 Network Operators copy Plant owner or electrical supervisor
 Contractors copy Kept in the electricians book

other equipment or materials can breach the safe approach
limits (discussed above), especially during the erection of
the scaffold.
If these clearances cannot be achieved, it will be necessary
to contact the electricity supply authority (usually ETSA)
Utilities) to make arrangements for the safe completion of
the works. This may require a Network Access Permit to be
issued.
In some circumstances the clearances specified in AS/NZS

3.13 ELECTRICAL SWITCHROOM ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Switchrooms can pose a threat to the safety of personnel who enter them; hence
a switchroom is not a place to loiter and a specific purpose is required before
entry.

All who enter electrical switchrooms are required to have successfully completed;
 Switchroom Fundamental (Part I) training (theory)
and
 Switchroom Fundamental (Part II) training (practical, consisting of plant tour
of electrical switchrooms and assessment).

Entry into switchrooms by those who have not completed Switchroom Fundamental
training and assessment (part I & II) is allowed only under supervision of a trained and
assessed person.

Preference is that only electrical personnel enter switchrooms. Electrical personnel


have been issued with special clothing to limit their expose to electrical energy in the
form of arc flash.

Entry into switchrooms to undertake lock-out.


 It is highly preferred that lock-out for non-electrical work is undertaken at
plant based local field isolator/s. If this is not suitable for the proposed task,
lockout should be undertaken on a lock-out board located outside the
electrical switchroom
 Isolation of switchroom isolator/s should be undertaken by electrical
personnel, even for simple isolation/s.
 Only non-electrical personnel who have been trained, assessed competent
and approved to undertake isolation and verification within a switchroom by
their Plant Manager can undertake plant isolation within switchrooms.

Testing and fault finding on live LV electrical equipment, which is of IP2X or better construction, in a low risk environment, poses a low
risk to the person performing the work and should be conducted using this JSEA.
Testing and fault finding on live LV electrical equipment, which is of IP1X or lower construction as well as being in an environment that is
not low risk, poses a risk to the person performing the work. Further risk assessments, hazard controls, safe systems of work and a
safety observer are needed.
