Accident/Incident Reporting

Accident forms are available in the workshop. All accidents are recorded in the accident register stored inside the first aid room.

Smoke-free Workplace

• If you are a smoker, be aware that you can’t just smoke anywhere.
• Don’t smoke outside the designated areas, No smoking inside, Smoke only during breaks.

Machine, Forklift and Crane Operation

• Cranes and Forklifts can only be used if you are fully trained and you have been assessed by Farra.
• Do not operate unless authorised and assessed by Farra.

Working at Heights

• If you are elevated a safety harness must be worn.

• Our expectation is that all contractors staff are competent and trained to do the work safely. Anyone not fully trained must be supervised by a trained/certified member of staff.

• All Contractors must supply their staff with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and ensure that safety gear is being used appropriately.

• Ensure your work area is kept tidy, do not leave material for people to trip over and clean up spillages immediately.

• We expect that you will advise us of your hazards! How this will be achieved will vary depending on the job. This is to be discussed with the Supervisor or Divisional Manager. We may require Task Analysis or full Site Specific Safety Plan.
