Safety Considerations 1.1 Hazard identification Assessment of existing hazards was undertaken at the time of planning. These hazards are in the attached table and where appropriate, control strategies have been applied. Where no control strategy has been described, the contractor must develop appropriate strategies as part of the contractors Safety Management Plan. A copy of the hazard assessment and control strategies is provided to assist in the development of the contractors Safety Management Plan for this harvesting area. Identified hazards requiring risk assessment and control strategy in Safety Management Plan IDENTIFIED HAZARD RISK SUGGESTED CONTROL STRATEGY RATING 1. Adjoining roads of various 1 Warning signs at intersections, road closure and traffic levels traffic control measures 2. Hazardous or dead trees 1 Refer to Forests NSW safety standard 1.3.9. Assess area within two tree lengths of work site. Assess risk, mark any Distinctly Dangerous Trees with the symbol Ø & if necessary remove hazard or move work site. Use machinery to assist with hazard removal if possible. Contractor is responsible for implementing control strategies during harvesting. 3. Overhead hazards 1 Refer to Forests NSW safety standard associated with dumps 1.3.9.Assess overhead hazard within two tree lengths of the dump. Assess risk, & if necessary remove hazard or relocate dump site. Contractor is responsible for implementing control strategies during harvesting. 4. Dust from passing vehicles 2 Restrict speed to minimise dust generation, slow along dirt haulage routes down when passing vehicles. Turn on driving and hazard lights to increase visibility. H azard Nos. 1 are shown on the attached Operational Map 1 .2 Traffic Management Plan 1 .2.1 Traffic control and safety measures T he logging contractor is responsible for traffic control on all forest roads when felling is within two tree lengths of the tallest tree to be felled of the road or snigging on roads or loading is occurring within 10 metres of a road. Warning of timber harvesting operations must be displayed 200 metres either side of all road approaches leading to areas where harvesting operations are in progress. Truck entering signs must be placed 200 metres either side of the j unctions/intersections of 548/3Rd/No Name Mountain Road, 548/1 Rd/No Name M ountain Road/, No Name Mountain Road/Hanns, and Hanns/Quartpot Roads to warn motorists of emerging log trucks.
