ENSURE THE FOLLOWING IS IN PLACE:

• A permit must be obtained prior to works commencing.

• Ensure that it includes regular checks being undertaken whilst the controls are in place.
• Don’t make any changes unless they are implemented by a competent person and are also approved and recorded by the relevant authorities.
• Identify any potentially flammable or combustible materials in the area, such as rubbish, dust, oils, grease, rubber, plastics, or other substances that could be potential fuel sources or generate dust explosions.
• Remove any flammable or combustible material in the area. If materials cannot be removed use flame proof covers or screens, or wet the materials down before and during the work.
• Ensure the area is adequately ventilated.
• Conduct post work inspections for smouldering material prior to leaving the area. For example, before a break, at the end of a shift or at the completion of work.
• Ensure adequate firefighting equipment is available and ready for use.
• Identify and establish suitable exclusion zones for personnel and vehicles.
• Ensure employees are wearing appropriate non-flammable personal protective equipment.
