19. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
All occupational health and safety issues will be resolved in strict accordance with the relevant legislation and the Building Industry Safety Code.
The most qualified or appropriate person will render first aid.
Where a safety problem exists, work shall cease only in the affected area. Work shall continue elsewhere unless there is no safe access to working areas. However, any problem of access shall be immediately rectified and the Employees will use alternate safe access to such working areas while the usual access is being rectified.
If a safety problem arises, the matter shall be brought to the attention of the immediate supervisor/foreperson. He/she shall organise to have the problem rectified and the Employees relocated to safe work areas whilst rectification work is being carried out.
Should a dispute arise over a safety issue, immediate inspection of the disputed area involving both the Company and the site safety representative and/or safety committee shall take place.
If there is more than one area thought to be unsafe, the OH&S committee/Company will nominate in order of priority the areas to be inspected. On verification that rectification has been completed, productive work will resume. Such resumption shall take place if necessary in stages as each area has been cleared.
Provided that any disagreements between Company and the Site Safety Representative(s) and/or Safety Committee shall be determined by the recommendation of a WorkCover NSW Inspector.
The Company will ensure all Employees complete the WorkCover accredited Occupational Health and Safety Induction Course.
