The measures that have been implemented is based on advice by the NSW Government website. All personnel participating in the Config 14 & NSW Super Possession must complete the declaration prior to coming to site, and answer each question truthfully to the best of their ability. When completing the declaration please take note the information at the top of the page and action the requirements accordingly. You can scan the QR Code below using the camera on your phone to access the declaration. Alternatively your Project Manager (PM) should have forwarded a link, if you have not received, or cannot access via the QR Code please contact your relevant PM. 5 ARTC NETWORK ARTC NSW Network Rules & Procedures As part of the SIA Corridor’s Possession Teams effort to continue driving a positive RULES & safety culture for all personnel working within our possessions, we have included links PROCESURES via QR Codes to the NSW Network Rules and Procedures. As with the COVID-19 declaration, you can use the camera on your phone to scan the code and you will be taken to the relevant section of the ARTC website containing the Rules and Procedures. It is important for ALL personnel to understand the requirements to work within the corridor, and regularly check for updates to the rules and procedures. We have included some of the relevant rules and procedures related the Config 14 & NSW Super Possession below and highly recommend you review these documents prior to the possession.

Workers should ask for medication that will not affect their ability to work safely or show up as a Positive Drug Test where this is available. • If a worker needs to take medication that may affect their ability to work safely and/or show up as a Positive Drug Test, they must declare the medication and it’s drug class(es) to their ARTC Manager and must not work contrary to any medical advice or instructions. • ARTC may require a worker to sign a medical release to allow the Chief Medical Officer to consult with their medical practitioner. 9 FATIGUE MANAGEMENT WHAT IS FATIGUE? Fatigue is more than feeling tired and drowsy. In a work context, fatigue is a state of mental and/or physical exhaustion that reduces a person’s ability to perform work safely and effectively. It can occur because of prolonged or intense mental or physical activity, sleep loss and/or disruption of the internal body clock. Signs of fatigue include: • Tiredness even after sleep • Reduced hand-eye coordination or slow reflexes • Short term memory problems and an inability to concentrate • Blurred vision or impaired visual perception • A need for extended sleep during days off work. WHAT CAUSES FATIGUE? Fatigue can be caused by work related or non-work related factors or a combination of both. Work related causes of fatigue include excessively long shifts, not enough time to recover between shifts and blocks of shifts, very strenuous jobs and long commuting times. An example of non-work related fatigue would be poor quality sleep due to street noise or family demands. 10 ENVIRONMENTAL SOIL AND WATER It is important for staff to plan work to avoid known contamination (particularly when excavating soils) and minimise the potential to cause contamination of soil and water. CONTAMINATION Indicators of soil and water contamination include soil staining, discoloration, smell/odours, unusual texture and oily sheens. Planning your work Identify likely presence of contamination through site inspection, ARTC database search, local knowledge and environmental assessment (such as REF or TBEIA). If soil or water contamination is identified seek advice from your Environmental Officer. A specialist consultant may be required to undertake testing or help manage the site. Review the fuels, oils, chemicals or maintenance activities proposed for the project, and ensure appropriate containment measures (e.g. contained areas, bunded fuel tanks or drip trays) and spill kits are available to capture and manage spills that may occur. What should I do? If contamination has been identified try to avoid the area and if necessary erect signage or fencing to delineate ‘no go zones’. If contaminated soils cannot be avoided follow advice from your Environmental Officer and where available consultancy reports / management plan. Soil material cannot be taken outside the rail corridor without contamination testing and having gained the correct waste transport / disposal approvals. Contaminated material is to be stockpiled separately so that it is not mixed with non- contaminated material. Consideration to be given to covering the contaminated stockpile and / or using sandbags to bund the area and contain the material. 11 ENVIRONMENTAL STOCKPILES Stockpiles are often associated with construction and maintenance activities and can be in place for the short or long term. Poorly managed stockpiles can lead to issues such as erosion, vegetation removal, visual impacts and dusty sites. ARTC may receive complaints from the EPA or community if a stockpile is poorly managed. Planning your work The following should be considered when establishing a stockpile site: Place the stockpile on flat ground rather than a slope; Locate the stockpile away from drainage lines or creeks where there is concentrated water flow or potential for erosion; Place away from residential areas and in locations where views of surrounding environments will not be blocked; Select locations that have previously been used for stockpiling or which are disturbed; Access to the stockpile site and associated impacts from truck and vehicle movements; and Where stockpiles are long term, consider other spoil management options such as offsite disposal or reuse. 12 ENVIRONMENTAL STOCKPILES CONT… What should I do? Define or delineate the stockpile area to prevent stockpiles from ‘creeping’ to other areas. Do not stockpile under tree drip lines or within tree root zones as this can damage trees. Store site topsoil separately so it can be put back and assist in revegetating the site.
