Topics New High Risk Checklist – Manuel Handling Safety Alert - Minor Property Damage - New Zealand Risk Tolerance #3 Reminders Full SPSA training must be completed by 30th September 2015 and SPSA use in full from 1st October 2015 JCF must be in used from 1 January 2016 All New HRC should now be in place (1st September 2015) © 2015 Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions

High Risk Checklist – Manual Handling Last month we rolled out the new HRC’s include in the pack was a new Manual Handling Checklist it provides Guidance for lifting Heavy or Awkward Manual Lifting. It has been developed following a review of Onehunga Safe lifting incident in New Zealand to trial. Please review the checklist and have these available to all staff. Please feel free to provide feedback on the form. © 2015 Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions

Safety Alert – Minor Property Damage - NZ This is very relevant, and a lesson that we all need to take on at all levels of our organisations. Please ensure we check operation of all rental and owned equipment, to ensure its best working condition. Staff must be effectively trained before use. Instruction manuals should be read to ensure correct operation of EWP and other equipment is clearly understood. It is the Hirers responsibility to ensure training is provided. This cannot happen if the equipment is dropped off without the presence of the user.   Please ensure that no hire equipment is used without an effect handover taking place immediately before use. © 2015 Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions

Risk Tolerance Over the next 10 months we are going to put the safety spotlight on Risk Tolerance. Each month we will introduce a Risk Tolerance Element: 1. Overestimating Capability / Experience 2. Familiarity with the task 3. Seriousness of outcome 4. Voluntary actions and being in control 5. Personal experience with an outcome 6. Cost of non-compliance 7. Confidence in the equipment 8. Confidence in protection and rescue 9. Potential profit and gain from actions 10. Role models accepting risk © 2015 Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions

Risk Tolerance Risk Tolerance Factor #3: Seriousness of the outcome This risk tolerance factor deals with the question ... “How bad could it be?” It is based on the premise that something could go wrong but we under estimate or discount how bad or serious the outcome could be. We may believe a ‘scratch’ or ‘bruise’ could be the worst thing to happen where in fact it could actually be an amputation or broken bone. “How bad could it be?”   When we believe that the outcome of our actions will not be serious, we are prepared to accept more risk. If we believe the outcome to be serious, risk tolerance goes down. When the question “How bad could it be?” is asked, the true consequences may not be realised due to a couple of factors. It may be because there have been similar incidents in the past but the resulting damages have always been minor (RCAF#4). The second aspect of this factor is the language we use that may trivialise how serious a consequence could actually be. Does a ‘pinch point’ sound serious? What about ‘sweet gas’? ‘Hot water’? Here are three common examples of where our language does not represent the true seriousness of the risk. The phrase ‘pinch points’ is commonly used throughout our industry to describe situations where a persons hand or body could become caught. © 2015 Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions

Risk Tolerance Pinch Point Sweet Gas Hot Water Is a ‘pinch’ the worst that could happen or is it a ‘crush’ that will brake bones or result in an ‘amputation’ Could this ‘pinch point’ result in a fatality? The phrase ‘pinch points’ is commonly used throughout our industry to describe situations where a person’s hand or body could become caught. The word ‘pinch’ does not represent how serious this could be. Workers have had hands and fingers amputated in ‘pinch points’. Bones have been crushed beyond repair in ‘pinch points’. And yes, workers have been fatally injured when caught in ‘pinch points’ Sweet Gas Is it really ‘sweet’ or should we refer to it as ‘explosive’ or ‘flammable’   Similarly, we discount the seriousness of the explosive and flammable nature of Fuels and LPG when we refer to it as ‘sweet’. That word implies it is harmless Hot Water Is it just ‘hot’ like a Jacuzzi or hot tub or is it ‘scalding’ hot like condensed steam?   Most people view ‘hot water’ at the temperature at which it may come out of a domestic tap. A ‘hot’ shower or a ‘hot’ tub can be viewed as relaxing. Yet in our work place we have condensed steam in the 99 C range. This is not ‘hot’ like we are used to at home. This is ‘hot’ that will result in third degree burns with as little as 3 seconds contact with the skin. The strategies for addressing risk tolerance due to not understanding the seriousness of the outcome focus on using our company and industry experience to demonstrate how serious the consequences could be and to change our language so that we do not ‘sugar coat’ the consequences. © 2015 Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions
