IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLER AND MAINTENANCE
CONTRACTORS - RISK ASSESSMENT
Installer and Maintenance Contractors
A risk assessment of all hazardous tasks is
required under legislation. A risk assessment is
an essential element that should be conducted
before the commencement of work, to identify
and eliminate the risk of falls or to minimise
these risks by implementing control measures.
There is no need for this to be a complicated
process, it just is a matter of looking at the job
to be done and considering what action(s) are
necessary so the person doing the job does not
injure themselves.
This should be considered in terms of:
What are the chances of an incident
•
happening?
What could the possible consequence
•
be?
What can you do to reduce, or better still,
•
completely get rid of the risk?
SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER
What is the best and safest access to the
•
roof and working areas?
If a worker is alone, who knows they are
•
there and if they get into difficulty, how
can they summon help?
(Call someone on the ground? Mobile
•
phone? etc.)
What condition is the roof in? Should
•
the trusses, underside or surface be
checked?
Does the worker have appropriate foot
•
wear? (Flat sole jogger type is advisable)
Are all power cables / extension leads
•
safe and appropriately rated?
Are all ladders, tools and equipment suit-
•
able in good condition?
Where ladders are to be used, is there a
•
firm, stable base for them to stand on?
Can they be tied or secured in some way
at the top? Is the top of the ladder clear
of electricity supply cables?
Is there a roof anchor to attach a har-
•
ness and lanyard to? If so, instruction
should be issued for the use of an ap-
proved harness or only suitably trained
people used.
Are all tools and materials being used,
•
prevented from slipping and falling onto
a person at ground level? Is the area
below the work area suitably protected to
prevent persons walking in this area?
Does the work schedule take into ac-
•
count weather conditions, allowing for
work to be suspended in high winds,
thunder storms/lightning or other types of
weather giving wet, slippery surfaces?
Is there an on-going safety check system
•
of harnesses, ropes, ladders and access/
lifting equipment and where they exist
on roofs, anchor points before the com-
mencement of work?
Is there a system which prevents em-
•
ployees from working on roofs if they are
unwell or under the influence of drugs or
alcohol?
Are there any special conditions to
•
consider i.e. excessive roof pitch, limited
ground area, fragile roof, electrical power
lines?
OTHER IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS
Never force parts to fit because all parts
•
are designed to fit together easily without
undue force.
Never drill holes in the tank of the cooler.
•
Check the proposed cooler location, to
•
ensure that it is structurally capable of
supporting the weight of the cooler, or
provide an adequate alternate load bear-
ing structure.
Ensure the installation complies with all
•
local and national regulations with re-
gards to electrical, plumbing and bushfire
construction requirements.
MAINTENANCE NOTE
IMPORTANT
As with any product that has moving parts
or is subject to wear and tear, it is VERY
IMPORTANT that you maintain your cooler
and have it regularly serviced. It is a condition
of warranty cover for your cooler that you
comply with all of the maintenance and
service requirements set out in this Manual.
Compliance with these requirements will
prolong the life of your cooler. Further, it is also
a condition of warranty cover that each item
in the Maintenance Schedule in the Manual is
filled out (by signing and dating it in the places
indicated) when the item is completed.
Any failure to carry out the required
maintenance and servicing, and any failure to
fill out the maintenance schedule, will void your
warranty.
