Machinery Guarding Is your machinery guarding compliant to regulation 208 of the Western Australian Work Health and Safety (General or Mines) Regulations? Failure to comply with the regulation can result in a fine of $7,000 for and individual or $35,000 for a company. If you are unsure if your machinery or plant guarding is compliant, why not have Safety Resources Australia undertake a guarding assessment of your workplace plant. By doing so any non compliance can be rectified in order to reduce operational risk. If all compliant then you will be safe knowing that is so. Regretfully, the guarding on many items of imported plant, do not comply with our regulatory requirements. Thus, even brand new machines can be non compliant to machinery safe guarding requirements. Why not contact Safety Resources Australia today to book your workplace machinery safe guarding assessment and report.

Working without PPE I was carrying out a safety audit at a construction site when I saw this. Workers were relaxing near a huge tank which was under construction. They were doing some welding. Immediately I took the photo and shared with the manager and asked them to correct the situation. Any construction site is dangerous. Working without any protection is more dangerous, no matter how safe you may feel. Even a small tool falling from the height can hurt or even fatally injure the person. The workers may not know. It is up to the management to raise the awareness and inculcate the habit of wearing PPE among the workers. There may be many excuses given e.g. it is break time , the work in completed, there is no one there etc. No matter what the situation, unless you are in the safe zone, PPE must be on. #viveknamboodiripad #safety #sustainability #construction #ppe

Inspections should include checking the structural integrity of the crane, the condition of the boom, hoist, hydraulic systems, and the operation of safety devices like load indicators and limit switches. Ensuring that all parts are in good working condition prevents accidents and equipment failure during operations. Fire extinguishers are a critical component of workplace safety. Regular inspections are necessary to ensure they are fully charged, accessible, and in proper working condition.

The Importance of Safety Measures in Industrial Projects.⬇️ Today we want to remind everyone why is it important to know and use safety measures in industrial projects. We all can agree that money will not be worth anything without health. IDEA COMPLEX wants to make sure that all our employees will come back in one piece to their loved ones. ❤️ When undertaking industrial projects such as scaffolding and insulation installation, ensuring safety measures are in place is crucial to prevent accidents and injuries. Workers in these fields are often exposed to various hazards such as falls, exposure to harmful substances, and physical strain. Utilizing appropriate safety tools and equipment can greatly reduce the risks associated with these jobs. ✅One of the most important safety tools for both scaffolding and insulation installers is personal protective equipment (PPE)⛑️. This includes items such as hard hats, safety goggles, gloves, and high-visibility clothing. PPE is designed to protect workers from head injuries, eye injuries, hand injuries, and provide visibility in busy work environments. ✅Fall protection equipment is another essential tool for workers in these industries. Scaffolding and insulation installers often work at heights, making them vulnerable to falls. 🧗 Safety harnesses, lanyards, and anchors are commonly used to prevent workers from falling and to protect them in the event of a fall. Properly securing oneself with fall protection equipment is crucial in ensuring worker safety when working at elevated heights. ✅Additionally, tools such as scaffolding systems with guardrails and toe boards help create a safe working platform for scaffolding installers. These structures provide stability and prevent workers from falling off the edges of the scaffolding. Insulation installers can benefit from tools such as kneepads and back supports to reduce strain on their bodies during repetitive tasks. ✅Regular safety training and supervision are also key components of maintaining a safe work environment for scaffolding and insulation installers. Workers should be trained on the proper use of safety tools and equipment, as well as best practices for working safely in their respective job roles. In conclusion, integrating safety measures into industrial projects is not only a duty, but a profound demonstration of genuine regard for the lives and welfare of each worker. We are hoping that this information will prove itself useful to somebody. Stay Safe and Work Smart❗ #worksmart #industry #staysafe #lifeisbeautiful #safety

Safety is a major issue for day laborers and skilled laborers. Each year, accidents happen frequently in the construction industry and most times due to the absence of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or failure to wear the provided PPE. The purpose of PPE is to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels. Aside from providing employees with instructions, procedures, training and supervisions to encourage safe and responsible working. PPE contributes to a safe workplace, so PPE is always going to be an integral part of running a successful and safe business. #noiaaltd #safetytraining

Not overlooking safety! We have well embedded practices for protecting people from the most critical risks, however we are constantly focused on raising the standards across all activities and worksites. PPE for example is considered the norm, however that doesn't mean it is being consistently or adequately utillised on site. Luke Wade, our Operations Manager, emphasises the critical importance of PPE. He sheds light on the fact that even a 1% lapse in adhering to safety measures can have life-altering consequences. Our commitment to safety is unwavering across all our sites. We engage, we listen and we take continual feedback on board to make sure live and breathe our values. #KapitolGroup #Engineering #Construction #TheKapitolWay #ConstructionManagement #Melbourne #ConstructionIndustry #PPE #Safety
