Page | 041 When working at heights, the hierarchy of control will always be considered:
• Elimination - Work on solid construction;
• Passive Fall Protection - Physical barriers;
• Fall Restraint Systems; and
• Fall Arrest Systems.
All personnel working on, from or traversing along a roof or other structure at height will be attached 100% of the time and use passive fall protection, fall restraint system or fall arrest system. A qualified worker must install the anchor points within the fall restraint or fall arrest systems per the manufacturer’s instructions, national standards and/or as legislation requires.

CRANE, HOISTING AND LIFTING
Cranes, hoisting, and lifting may be required for some projects. All lifting operations must be planned, and contractors must set up exclusion zones, qualify operators, develop documented lift plans for critical lifts, and verify equipment and set-up are rated for the required lift and be marked with an S.W.L or W.L.L.
The responsible contractor will provide relevant information pertinent to the planning and selection of a crane, including ground conditions and all underground services/hazards, along with detailed rigging or lifting studies (if required) to Tesla for review before any critical lift takes place.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Equipment will be inspected or calibrated in accordance with the table below. These inspections will be recorded where required, and a NATA-certified company undertakes equipment calibration. Any damaged or worn equipment will be removed from service and appropriately disposed of.
Prior to using any new equipment onsite for the first time, equipment must be inducted to site by a competent person prior to first use. New equipment onsite will then be added into the equipment register prior to first use.
FIXED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Electrical work on site buildings will be covered by Electrical Certificates of Compliance issued by registered Electrical Workers, with records maintained onsite or electronically.
PORTABLE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
All connection plugs will be of a shrouded bonded type or made of transparent material. Power leads will be suitably restrained, supported above ground level using either cable stands or standard lead restraining clips.
Power leads routed along access ways and walkways will be delineated or covered to prevent tripping hazards.
Portable Residual Current Devices (RCDs) will be used to distribute power directly to power tools only and not as an adapter to extend the length of power leads or for multiple distribution of power leads.
Power boards within built RCD’s are recommended to be used in the office environment and double adapters will not be used.
