• Ensure all chemicals used are approved for use onsite and controlled as per SDS
• Decant chemicals into suitable, clearly labelled containers
• Confirm all equipment is fit for purpose and tested & tagged

• Never enter a line of fire / drop zone - With consideration made to fall / equipment trajectory.
• Only use equipment that’s fit for purpose, inspected, tested and tagged
• Assess ground and environmental conditions for suitability and stability
• Establish work area and drop zone barricading to limit area only to workers involved in the lift

• Complete my training for Our Code, respectful behaviours and mental health awareness and always behave in a respectful way.
• Speak up about unacceptable behaviour — report to Integrity or seek support from Peer Supporters or EAP
