AURASA002 Follow safe working practices in an automotive Part 1 Performance outcomes required to identify and follow safety and emergency procedures in an automotive workplace. It involves those safety procedures to be followed when using workplace hand tools and hand-held power tools, fixed equipment, and chemicals, and when running vehicles and machinery. It includes the individual’s responsibility for safety and emergency response in the event of an accident or incident. Purpose of Workplace safety, WHS legislation, Personal safety, Manual handling, Workplace practices, Vehicle safety, Hazardous materials, Emergency procedures, The WHS Act 2011 is the government legislated law. (Refer to https://www.legislation.gov.au/Detail...) The WHS Regulations 2011 define how the act is to be implemented and who is responsible for safety. (Refer to https://www.legislation.gov.au/Detail...) The Codes of Practice further defines the way activities should be carried out to prevent injury. WHS Legislation Under the Act, the person responsible as an employer is now referred to as a PCBU ‘Person conducting a business or undertaking’. The definition now has a broader implication. The PCBU is responsible for all people who are within the workplace or carrying out any activity in or for the workplace, including visitors to a workplace. An employee, including a volunteer, is referred to as a worker. A worker must take reasonable care for own safety and the safety of other persons within the workplace. A workplace is anywhere work is carried out including locations outside of a work premises. Each state may have its own variations on WHS. Health and safety committee (HSC) The health and safety representatives (HSRs) and PCBU representatives, such as senior managers who have the necessary positions to important decisions. At least 50% of the individuals on the committee must be workers. These committees also automatically include HSRs unless the HSRs opt not to participate. Personal safety There are many hazards in mechanical workshops and workplaces that a worker must be aware of. To prevent personal injury, a worker must: follow workplace procedures follow safe operating procedures (SOP) for machines and equipment assess the risks of work to be performed before proceeding c) follow good housekeeping practices to prevent trip and slip hazards Use correct PPE for the task. This will protect: Hearing: ear plugs or ear muffs Skin: sunblock on exposed areas and a hat; for welding, a correct face shield Clothing: long-sleeved shirts and pants; for mining, clothing must be made of cotton Footwear: steel-capped boots Eye/face: safety glasses or, if welding, a correct face shield Fumes: adequate ventilation or extraction fans Manual handling Manual handling is any activity that requires a person to lift, lower, push, pull or carry an object. Incorrect manual handling causes many workshop injuries. Good handling habits that reduce the risk of injury include: storing items at waist height planning the lift using correct lifting techniques (e.g. using leg muscles rather than back muscles) using correct lifting equipment always lifting within your comfort zone using lifting equipment for heavy loads seeking help from others to reduce the effort required. Workplace practices Housekeeping Keeping the workshop clean and well-organised makes it safer, especially by minimising the risk from trip and slip hazards. Keep workbenches clean and store tools correctly. Good housekeeping makes for a more efficient working environment and displays professionalism. Use seat and guard covers to prevent damage to vehicles. A minor problem may turn into a major problem if: Cluttered workplace Clutter blocking fire extinguishers and fire exit points Failure to regularly inspect tools and equipment. Identifying slip and trip hazards Slip and trip hazards include items such as air lines, power cords, oil, and fuel spills. These should be dealt with immediately to prevent personal injury. Observing personal hygiene Protect your body from solvents, oils, grease, petrol and other substances. Other dangers such as asbestos dust may be present in the air. These products may be carcinogenic in the long term. When affected by any contagious illness, such as flu, ‘gastro’ and other viruses, it is very important to avoid passing it on to others in the workplace. Using tissues and handkerchiefs and covering the mouth when sneezing helps to prevent airborne contagion. It is helpful to yourself and others to consider staying at home when sick to avoid spreading any disease. Always wash hands before meal breaks and after toilet use. Wear appropriate PPE when dealing with hazards. Workplace practices using a vehicle hoist Note care when remove heavy components may cause a critical shift in vehicles centre of gravity Before lowering the vehicle, be sure materials are removed from under the vehicle.
