Employers and Employees Responsibility
The installation and maintenance of gas ducted
heating units, particularly at height, has the
potential to create Occupational Health and Safety
issues for those involved. Installers are advised to
ensure they are familiar with relevant State and
Federal legislation, such as Acts, Regulations,
approved Codes of Practice and Australian
Standards, which offer practical guidance on these
health and safety issues. Compliance with these
regulations will require appropriate work practices,
equipment, training and qualification of workers.
Seeley International provides the following
information as a guide to contractors and
employees to assist in minimising risk.
Risk Assessment
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 and other risks, or to minimise these
risks by implementing control measures. This does
not need to be a complicated process - it is a matter
of assessing the job to be done and considering
what actions 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 occurring?
What could the possible consequences be?
What can be done to reduce, or better still,
eliminate the risk?
