4 1 INTRODUCTION This guideline promotes worksite safety by providing guidance and instruction on the role and responsibilities of a safety observer. This document applies to all personnel who are performing works that require a safety observer to be appointed in accordance with Essential Energy s Safety, Security, Health and Environment (SSHE) Manual CECM1000 and/or Electrical Safety Rules CEOP8030 and for other work activities where the on site Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control process identifies the need for a safety observer. It is essential to note that a safety observer performs an exclusively dedicated duty that is purposely assigned to ensure the safety of personnel carrying out works, Essential Energy s electrical apparatus and associated assets and the general public and property. 2 WHY THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IMPORTANT To manage worksite safety: 1 ENSURE the work team identifies those activities which require a safety observer to be appointed. 2 CLARIFY the role and responsibilities of the safety observer and members of the work team. 3 CHALLENGES Whilst this procedure sets out the general responsibilities for worksite safety, they in no way limit the responsibility of the worksite personnel to take all other reasonable courses of action for worksite safety based upon the level of experience and competency of the personnel carrying out the work activity. 4 THE PROCEDURES 4.1 Identify the need to appoint a safety observer The work team in conjunction with the worksite controller are responsible for ensuring the need to appoint a Safety Observer has been considered during the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control process with due consideration given to: 1 The requirements of the Electrical Safety Rules. 2 Safe Work Method Statement & Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control (SWMS & HIRAC) and/or other Essential Energy safe work procedures relevant to the work being carried out. 3 The requirements of a specific site induction, such as a mine site. 4 Working in situations where there is an increased risk of personal injury or damage to equipment/property. Note: In addition to the requirements set out in this guideline, the provisions of the Code of Practice Electrical Work, Electrical Safety Regulation 2002 Queensland and the Code of Practice Victorian Electricity Supply Industry Distribution Businesses 2006 (the Green Book) must be considered when personnel are working in those respective franchise areas. Page 4 of 8

5 4.2 Appointment of a Safety Observer It is the responsibility of the worksite controller to assign a member/s of the work team as the designated safety observer/s and to document this on the associated SWMS/HIRAC form. Depending on the position and complexity of the work, more than one safety observer may be required. Regardless of the number of safety observers required, at least one safety observer must be positioned at ground level in close vicinity to the worksite at all times, unless carrying out the works in accordance with an approved work practice, or an alternative position in close proximity provides a greater viewing benefit. The appointment of a safety observer must not be regarded as the sole control measure or remove the responsibility of the other work team personnel in ensuring worksite safety. First year apprentices, who have not previously worked in the capacity of a safety observer, cannot perform the role of a safety observer. 4.3 Responsibilities of a Safety Observer The safety observer is responsible for alerting the work team to any potential unsafe conditions or lack of compliance with approved work practices, procedures or guidelines. The safety observer/s must: 1 ENSURE they are specifically instructed in the worksite hazards applicable. 2 ENSURE that all personnel, plant, tools and equipment remain outside the specified minimum safe approach distance unless performing a rescue in accordance with approved procedures. 3 OBSERVE personnel carrying out the identified works. 4 ALERT the work team to any unsafe conditions, actions or non-conformance with approved work procedures. 5 POSITION themselves at ground level in a suitable location to effectively observe the work being performed unless another position provides greater viewing benefit of the worksite. 6 NOT be positioned in the work basket of an EWP unless: a b a second safety observer has been appointed who is positioned at ground level, or otherwise permitted by the approved work practice for the work being carried out. 7 NOT observe more than one work activity or plant at any time unless working to an approved work practice. 8 HAVE the authority to temporarily suspend the work at any time. 9 MAINTAIN effective and immediate communication with the work team at all times. Specialist equipment may be necessary where there is a barrier to communication. 10 NOT use communication devices, such as mobile phones and portable radios, unless the use of such is directly related to establishing and maintaining effective and immediate communication with the work team being observed. Page 5 of 8

6 11 NOT PERFORM any other work task while acting as a safety observer. The safety observer must temporarily suspend works where required to assist the work team, to prevent unauthorised access to the worksite, significantly change position or for any other event that may distract their ability to carry out the role of a safety observer. If working live, personnel are to move outside the safe approach distances for the period that the works are temporarily suspended. 12 ENSURE they are trained and deemed competent in performing a rescue relevant to the work being undertaken. 13 ENSURE there is no unauthorised access to the worksite whilst work is being carried out. 14 OBSERVE the weather conditions at all times and suspend or stop the works if conditions become unsuitable. The safety observer s role may be rotated between members of the work team, for example to reduce fatigue. When this occurs the rotation must be formally carried out to ensure that all members of the work team are aware at all times who is performing the role of the safety observer(s). The SWMS/HIRAC form must be updated to record this change. 4.4 Responsibilities of plant operators Where the need to appoint a safety observer has been identified during the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control process, it is the responsibility of personnel who operate plant in the vicinity of live electrical apparatus or critical infrastructure to: 1 ENSURE that a safety observer has been appointed and is in a position to commence their role in accordance with this procedure. 2 MAINTAIN effective and immediate communication with the safety observer. 3 ENSURE plant is not operated in situations where a safety observer is required without first communicating the intended operation of the plant with the safety observer to ensure such operation is safe to carry out. 4 LISTEN actively and follow the directions of the safety observer. 5 ENSURE safe approach distances are not compromised unless working in accordance with an approved work practice, such as for live line work. 4.5 Responsibilities of the worksite controller and work team It is the responsibility of the worksite controller to: 1 INCLUDE the need to appoint a safety observer in the consultation when carrying out the Hazard identification, Risk Assessment and Control process. 2 ENSURE the personnel appointed as the safety observer is nominated on the SWMS/HIRAC form and appointed in accordance with this procedure. 3 INFORM and clearly instruct the safety observer as to their responsibilities in performing the role of a safety observer. 4 ENSURE identification and documentation of any changes to the scope of work once the work has commenced on the SWMS/HIRAC form including any change of appointment of the safety observer. 5 ENSURE the safety observer is fully aware of the work that is to be carried out. Page 6 of 8

7 It is the responsibility of all personnel in the work team to: 1 ENSURE the safety observer is in position to commence their role prior to the commencement of the works. 2 FOLLOW and actively listen to the instructions of the safety observer. 3 MAINTAIN effective and immediate communication with the safety observer at all times. 4 ELIMINATE distractions to their work activity; such as mobile phones. 5 STOP or not start the works where the role of the safety observer is not being carried out in accordance with this procedure. 4.6 Safety Observer Requirements In order to be appointed as a safety observer, personnel must have in the past 12 months successfully completed: 1 Competency assessment in Essential Energy s Electrical Safety Rules (for electrical work) 2 Competency assessment in resuscitation and rescue techniques appropriate for the work task being carried out.
