1. Instance
Situation:
Lack of emergency procedures / programs
Describe the legal requirements set out by the relevant code/legislation that applies to this situation
Occupational Health and Safety (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 1999 (the Regulations)
Check that appropriate emergency signage is in place, appropriately lit and is regularly tested and is fully
operational
In addition to the priority issue of personal safety, actions and procedures need to be identified and
communicated that limit the effect of potential emergencies on property and structures.
The emergency procedures must include instructions related to the following as a minimum:
• Fire
• Chemical spill
What is the level of response required:
• Total evacuation
• Isolation of Hazard.
Who must be notified:
• Supervisor
• Fire Brigade.
Who are alternative emergency contacts:
What needs to be shut down to minimise potential adverse impact:
• Under what circumstances
• Who is responsible
• What procedures are there or need to be developed
Environmental issues and emergency procedures also need to be identified and communicated to limit the
effect of potential emergencies.
Possible environmental issues may include:
• toxic fumes escaping into the atmosphere and adversely affecting the surrounding community
• waterways being contaminated by toxic substances or oil
• hazardous and toxic materials entering storm water drains
SIT Version 1 7 of 32

2. Instance
Situation:
Any equipment is damaged or defective in any way
Describe the legal requirements set out by the relevant code/legislation that applies to this situation
Consultation Requirements:
As required have electrical appliances inspected and tested on a regular basis and record this
information
Keep in mind that employees can come in contact with a hazardous substance and any waste,
intermediate or product generated from the use of the substance if they:
• Work with it directly; are in the vicinity of where it is used or likely to be generated;
• Enter an enclosed space where it might be present;
• Disturb deposits of the substance on surfaces (for example, during cleaning) and make them airborne;
and/or
• Come into contact with contaminated surfaces. Pay particular attention to:
• The specific tasks or processes (eg. decanting, spraying, heating) performed, and how they affect the
routes of exposure;
SIT Version 1 8 of 32
©Futura Group 2016
• The quantity of the substance used;
• The risk controls in place and their effectiveness; and
• Whether each employee’s work technique, work posture or size has a significant bearing on their level
of exposure.
As required have electrical appliances inspected and tested on a regular basis and record this
information
Where equipment is identified for repair, it should be immediately removed from service and
appropriately labelled to prevent further use
Consider installing a safety switch on power supply
Who is involved:
Employers and self-employed persons should ensure that workers are trained in the safe use of
electrical equipment.
Where equipment is identified for repair, it should be immediately removed from service and
appropriately labelled to prevent further use
Electrical equipment should be used and stored in a manner which does not damage the electrical
fittings (e.g. don’t overstretch extension cords), and it should not be exposed to harsh or damaging
environments (e.g. chemicals, water) unless the equipment is specifically designed for use in these
environments
3. Instance
Situation:
Chemicals are stored in the kitchen area

Consultation Requirements:
SIT Version 1 9 of 32
©Futura Group 2016
Where possible do not store chemicals in kitchens, keep them in a designated area for storing
chemicals
Depending on the substance, the severity of the harm could range from minor to major, for example,
from minor skin irritation to chronic respiratory disease. Some chemicals may not be hazardous by all
routes of entry. For example, silica is hazardous only by inhalation so the risk assessment needs to
consider how inhalation could occur in the workplace.
The SDS may also include summaries of toxicological data, or advice or warnings for people that might be
at risk, such as
people who are sensitised to particular chemicals
warnings for pregnant women
people with existing medical conditions such as asthma.
Where possible do not store chemicals in kitchens, keep them in a designated area for storing
chemicals
Ensure all hazardous substances are stored in a secure location
Do not store hazardous substances on a shelf above head height
Maintain clear separation of storage of hazardous substances from non-hazardous substances
Ensure that all hazardous substances are kept in undamaged containers with secure caps or lids
Who is involved:
Workers should obtain and read instructions for use, consult the Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and know
safe handling precautions to take before working with a hazardous substance
Ensure that all hazardous substances are kept in undamaged containers with secure caps or lids

1. Product Identifier. The product identifier must match the identifier on the safety data sheet and include the
chemical identity of the substance or ingredients in a mixture that contribute to the product’s hazards.
2. Pictograms. Pictograms are combinations of graphical elements that convey information about the product’s
hazards. GHS hazard pictograms are a black symbol on a white field within a red diamond.
3. Signal Word. Signal words indicate the severity of the product’s hazard. “Danger” indicates severe hazards
while “Warning” indicates less sever hazards.
4. Hazard Statements. Hazard statements are assigned based on the nature of the product’s hazards.
5. Precautionary Statements. Precautionary statements inform the reader about how to prevent or minimize the
negative effects of storing or handling the product unsafely. They fall into four categories: prevention, response,
storage, and disposal.
6. Supplier Identification. The supplier identification includes the name, address and telephone number that can
be used to locate or communicate with the manufacturer or supplier.

Emergency procedure:
The types of disasters you include in your emergency action plan will depend, in part, on where you're located.
The risks you face locally could be earthquakes, hurricanes, or blizzards, but your planning process will be very
similar in any case. Here are a few steps to follow as you develop a plan for natural disasters:
Protect Your People: Be clear about when to close and evacuate your restaurant. Someone on each shift
should have that authority if conditions seem likely to put staff or guests at risk. Send everyone home if
it's safe and practical to do so, or provide the option of staying put when it's not. If you're in the blizzard
zone, for example, keep a supply of blankets, flashlights, and drinking water on hand in case the weather
closes in.
Protect Your Food: If the power goes out, your food will be at risk. Refrigerated food can stay safe
through a short outage of a few hours, but you'll need to closely monitor the temperature in your
coolers. If it's likely that power will stay out for a day or two, try to move perishables to a commercial
storage site. Alternatively, purchase a generator to run your refrigerators. If flooding is a major risk in
your area, store your perishable dry goods and paper goods up off the floor, where they're less likely to
be inundated. Floods and storms can also make your water supply unusable, so keep a stock of bottled
water on hand.
Protect Your Records: To minimize any ongoing disruption of your business, keep copies of crucial
documents (partnership agreements, employee records, tax documents, etc.) in a secure off-site
location. Data from your inventory management system, point-of-sale, and payroll records should be
backed up as well—either to a cloud-based storage service or on a physical drive that's stored off-site.
Keeping an up-to-date inventory of your supplies and fixtures can make your life a lot easier when
you're dealing with your insurance company.

Report summary for requirements for changes for each procedure based on the results in 4.
The objective is to minimise the risk of incidents and injuries occurring at the workplace by identifying hazards
and reporting them in the affected area. We all have a responsibility to identify hazards and the University has
processes for reporting and managing them. Hazards are managed as follows (also see "Completing the Hazard
Report Form" flowchart (below):
1. If you are unable to safely apply reliable control measures you should seek assistance by reporting
hazards to the affected area Supervisor and/or the local Health and Safety Representative who will
assess them to determine urgency and how the hazard can be controlled.
The report must be completed by the person involved in the incident or the person reporting the hazard
whether they are staff, students, contractors or visitors;
Where this is not possible, it is the responsibility of the supervisor of the person/area/activity to complete the
report;
Hazard and incident reports containing issues of a confidential nature, e.g. stress-related or unacceptable
behaviour, are automatically forwarded to the Manager, OH&S, bypassing any party as necessary.
Comprehensive reports, photographs, diagrams and video footage can be attached as required.
