1 SAFETY FIRST: ZERO HARM

2 Version 6.0 February 2018 HIRAC Procedure-Transport JSEA SAF-PRO-015 Att 2 TRANSPORT JSEA PRE-TRANSIT CHECKLIST Note: For site accommodation, including toilet blocks, you MUST use the Pre-Transit Checklist Portable Buildings and Modular Complexes. See your Coates Hire manager for a copy. Check your mass and dimensions: Measure and record the height of your load. If they are not within prescribed limits, do you have the correct exemption document? Is the plant in good order? 1. If operating mobile powered plant, perform the prestart checks as per the plant logbook. 2. Check: All doors, bonnets, and covers are secure and locked in place. There are no obvious missing parts. Bolts, screws, retainers, etc. must all be in place. There are no loose items in the operator s cabin, basket, or on decks. The transport security of: fire extinguisher brackets; spare wheels; spare excavator buckets or similar. The plant has been disconnected correctly, i.e. there are no: cables coming from generators; air connected; plumbing connected. Are there any environmental risks? Check: All equipment bunds are empty and free of liquids (including water) and debris; All seals, plugs and hoses are free of obvious leaks or damage; Breather pipes are correctly oriented so they are loaded on the high side of the equipment to minimise the risk of overflow when tilted during loading/unloading. When completing a Transport JSEA consider: WHAT are you going to do? Identify and assess the job. WHAT materials will you be working with? For example, chemical, biological, weight, size. WHEN will the job be done? For example, day or night, time of year. HOW might the job affect people, activities, or equipment? WHERE will the job be done? For example, at height, remote, or busy location. CAN I do this job safely? WHAT can go wrong? Using the Transport JSEA Note: Hazards and control measures are not limited to those listed on the Transport JSEA. Add additional hazards and controls if identified. Step 1: Identify Hazards Identify hazards individually or as a team with all involved in the activity. If the hazard is controlled, tick the N green box; if the hazard is not controlled, tick the Y red box. Step 2: Identify Control Measures Stop, think, and identify control measures to control the hazards. If the control measure makes the job safe to continue, tick the Y green box; if the control measure cannot be implemented, tick the N red box. If the hazard cannot be controlled or you are unsure if it can be controlled, STOP! Contact your supervisor or manager. Step 3: Manage the Transport JSEA Attach the completed Transport JSEA to the Coates Hire Hire Schedule or Delivery Docket. If the customer requests a copy, provide a photocopy or duplicate. The Transport JSEA is a prompt to identify hazards so they can be controlled before commencing an activity. It will minimise the risk of incidents or injury to you, customers, and the public. The Transport JSEA is integral to Coates Hire s Risk Management Strategy and compliments Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and the Coates Hire Safety Management System. Some transport companies may have their own JSEA, Take 5, or similar. You MUST use Coates Hire s Transport JSEA unless your Coates Hire Transport Manager or HSEQ Advisor approves an alternative. When do I use a Transport JSEA? A Transport JSEA must be completed by Coates Hire drivers and approved contractor drivers under the following circumstances: At sites that are not Coates Hire managed locations when delivering or picking up equipment, including customer sites, equipment repairer sites, and supplier sites. At Coates Hire managed locations outside business hours. At Coates Hire managed locations where the normal, controlled load/ unload area cannot be used. For all transport movements at Coates Hire managed locations: When loading to deliver the below equipment to a site not managed by Coates Hire (e.g. customer site, repairer, or supplier site). After restraining the equipment to the vehicle, complete SECTION ONE of the Transport JSEA to capture the following information: customer details, delivery location, asset/s, height of load for the following: Access: Boomlifts 45 and above; Scissor lifts 39 and above; Materials Handling: All forklifts and telehandlers; Trucks: All trucks; and Earthmoving/Compaction: All items 11t & above. If, when loading/unloading, a non-standard hazard or risk is identified, complete the entire Transport JSEA. If hazards and risks are not appropriately controlled, STOP! Contact your supervisor or manager.

5 LOAD LOAD LOAD S Version 1 Issue Date: 01/09/2017 S TILT TRAY AND LOW LOADER LOAD/UNLOAD S S FORKLIFT AND CRANE LOAD/UNLOAD S Version 1 Issue Date: 01/09/2017 Keep clear of area behind loading ramps. min. 5m RAMP RAMP When spotting, stand in these Safe Zone areas and move with the load. These areas (either side) must be cleared of passing traffic, and have the best visibility of the operator tray and wheels. Designated load/unload exclusion zones are to be segregated by a physical barrier (eg, concrete, steel, water filled, T-Top bollards with chains, retractable rope/chain etc) to prevent inadvertent pedestrian access. Driver ENTRY/EXIT POINT Never stand on the opposite side from loading as loads can accidentally fall off the vehicle. Spotter NO GO min. 6m RAMP RAMP min. 6m Where a forklift/crane is used to load/unload plant or equipment, the forklift/crane operator will be the person in control of the operation. Designated load/unload exclusion zones are to be segregated by a physical barrier (eg, concrete, steel, water filled, T-Top bollards with chains, retractable rope/chain etc) to prevent inadvertent pedestrian access. If the designated load/unload exclusion zone is segregated by a physical barrier, the driver (Coates Hire or Contractor) can be utilised as a spotter, excepting for site accommodation and traffic barriers where a Coates Hire spotter is required for all movements. The driver and spotter Safe Zones are to be delineated with a minimum of 4 green witches hats or by a means that clearly identifies these areas as the Safe Zones. If a mobile crane (with a dogman) is being utilised, the crane provider must supply a SWMS, and all personnel involved in the activity (including the Branch Manager) must sign on to this SWMS. Exclusion zones must be established. Forklift/crane access to and from the load/unload exclusion zone will be via an Entry/Exit Point adjacent to the driver Safe Zone. If at any time during the load/unload activity the forklift/crane operator loses visual contact with the driver and/or spotter in their designated Safe Zones, the activity is to cease immediately, and the forklift tynes are to be placed in a safe position until the driver and/or spotter are re-positioned back in their designated driver/spotter Safe Zone. Ensure personnel are clear of loading ramp swing arc area: during lowering or raising when raised but not secured Key: when loading or unloading equipment. Keep out of the zone! SAFE when loading or unloading equipment on ramps. Spotter moves with the load. For further details go to the Transport Safety intranet page. coateshire.com.au Any deviation from these requirements must be justified via an approved traffic management plan complete with suitable risk control measures. Key: when loading or unloading equipment. Keep out of the zone! SAFE when loading or unloading equipment. For further details go to the Transport Safety intranet page. coateshire.com.au General These instructions provide supervisors, managers, drivers, and load/unload teams the principles for determining Safe Zones (also called Exclusion Zones or No- Go Zones) and communication requirements prior to loading or unloading. The requirements apply to all Coates Hire and contractor personnel. Safe Zones When loading or unloading at a Coates Hire managed location, always operate in accordance with the Coates Hire Loading and Unloading Procedure by using the designated load/unload Safe Zone. At other locations, follow site requirements. If possible, establish a Safe Zone using witches hats, tape, bunting, etc. Always establish a Safe Zone for the loading/unloading crew and bystanders to stand safely away from the loading/unloading operations. For example, stand next to the delivery vehicle cabin, safely away from the forklift, crane, or other equipment in motion, etc. (Note: Any bystanders who do not need to be in the area must be directed away from the area). Personnel are only permitted to enter the Safe Zone while conducting essential tasks. For example, connecting/disconnecting chain slings, etc. Note: These tasks can only be conducted when ALL load and/or vehicular movement (forklift/ crane movement, etc.) has stopped and it is safe to enter the Safe Zone. Personnel must NEVER stand on the opposite side of the vehicle during the load/unload process as loads can accidentally fall off the vehicle. In areas where pedestrian and/or vehicle traffic is present, cordon off the load/unload area with barricades, witches hats, tape, bunting, etc. A spotter may be required to prevent access to the area. Some vehicle mounted cranes have a reach and can be either front or rear mounted on the tray. Ensure these factors are taken into account when determining a Safe Zone. Loading/Unloading Team Keep the loading/unloading team to a minimum, preferably a two person team. For example, crane/forklift operator and driver/spotter, etc. Clear Communication Work to an agreed plan and always look directly at each other when giving instructions. If circumstances change, STOP! and tell your work mates of the change. Can t See? Can t Work! If you cannot see your work mates, they cannot see you. STOP! operations until your work mates are visible and you are sure they are safe. Refer to Hazard Information Sheets (Plant) to determine the hazards, risks, and control measures when operating and loading/unloading equipment.
