Plant Safety
Purchaser Information
This plant health and safety information has been prepared by Graysonline for the purchaser of the plant item as required by National WHS Legislation. Whilst every effort has been made to identify all of the hazards, it should be recognised
that all reasonably practicable hazards have been identified given due consideration to:
• state of knowledge about the plant item
• the availability and suitability of ways to eliminate or control the hazards
• the cost of evaluating, eliminating or controlling the hazard
Consequently, if this plant item is being purchased for use at a place of work, the purchaser is reminded of their obligations to involve and consult with employees in identifying foreseeable hazards, assess their risks and to take action to
eliminate or control the risks.
In order to assess the risk, it is necessary to consider for all the identified hazards, the chance (likelihood) of something happening that would impact (consequence) on health and safety at the workplace. The following guidelines are
provided to assist the purchaser in consistently carrying out an assessment of risk:
Likelihood Consequence
• Frequency and duration of exposure • Assume “worst case” injury, but also competent follow-up medical and rehabilitation support
• Probability of occurrence of hazard or event (including part history of incidents) • Consider forces or energy levels, highest belt tensions, size of gears, pulleys or other entrapment points and therefore body parts likely to
be injured
• Possibility to avoid / minimize or limit the damage, impact or harm
• Consider sharpness of entrapment points, surrounding parts likely to exacerbate injury, and any give in the entrapment point
• Reliability and effectiveness of existing / established systems of control
• Consider, will entrapment continue until plant is stopped, or can an injured part travel through the entrapment area
• Are temperatures of plant, or chemicals, likely to further injure entrapped person
The outcome of the risk assessment is a prioritised list of risks and risk controls (existing and proposed) for further action based on the following risk ratings:
Low risk- may be considered acceptable, where the existing controls in place are seen to be effective, requiring periodic monitoring for effectiveness.
Medium risk- considered to be unacceptable and requiring additional risk controls within medium to long term.
High risk – considered to be unacceptable and requiring action within the short to medium term.
Extreme risk – unacceptable, where immediate action required.
In all of these cases employees/operators must be made aware of the risk controls in place to protect them from the hazards.
