1. SCOPE The Coal Mining Safety and Health regulation 2001, Regulation 65 states -

1. A coal mine must have a standard operating procedure for using personal

protective equipment for a task at the mine.

2. The procedure must include provision for the following –

a. Training workers in –

i. Selecting the appropriate personal protective equipment for the

task; and

ii. Using the equipment;

b. Instructions on using, maintaining and disposing of the equipment.

The purpose of this procedure is to minimise the risk of injury or harm to all persons (coal

mine workers and visitors) by the correct and appropriate management and use of

personal protective equipment.

There are many control measures which can be employed to negate or minimise hazards.

The hierarchy of control is the most appropriate method of determining what hazard

control measures should be introduced in response to workplace risk.

The hierarchy of control is as follows

o Elimination of the hazard – removal of the hazard at the source

o Substitution of a hazardous process, chemical or activity with a less hazardous one

o Engineering – changing the process or method of how the job is performed, enclosure

of hazardous chemicals or activities so that persons are separated from the hazard

o Administrative controls – includes procedural controls and training

o Use of personal protective equipment

The use of personal protective equipment should only be contemplated as a viable control

measure when consideration of all other methods of hazard control has occurred.

However, it is recognised that there are many occasions where there is either no

alternative other than the use of Personal Protective Equipment or where this method of

hazard control is used in conjunction with other means of hazard control.

2. DEFINITIONS

Hazard: is a situation that has the potential for harm to life, health, property or the

environment. This includes any existing or potential condition in the workplace that can

result in injury, damage or other losses.

Risk: a risk is the probability that exposure to a hazard will result in injury, disease or

damage to the environment. It is measured in terms of Consequences, Probability and

Exposure.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): includes any item of clothing, equipment or a

device designed to protect a person from risks of injury or illness eg. Hearing protection,

respirators, protective eyewear, safety helmets and sun hats. It includes seat belts, fall

arresting devices and buoyancy devices.

Trousers: Includes cotton drill long pants and Jeans

Industrial Safety Helmet - a helmet, including all component parts necessary for proper

functioning, intended to protect the upper head against impact and other forms of injury.

Bump Cap - a type of head protection in the form of a padded cap, which affords limited

protection to the crown (and to a degree) the sides of the wearer’s head. These caps will

give protection against low levels of energy where minimal impact is involved.

Corrective safety glasses - are prescriptive lens spectacles with a suitably constructed

frame and hardened lenses for industrial use (AS/NZS1337).

3. PROCEDURE

3.1 Management of PPE

Upon employment, each employee will receive an initial personal issue of:

o Non-fusible high visibility work clothes trousers and shirt (tight fitting around

the wrist

o Safety footwear and socks

o Safety helmet

o Safety glasses

o Safety gloves

Each employee shall be issued with the applicable range of work clothes and footwear.

Non-prescription safety glasses, safety gloves and helmets are available on site through

warehouse or dispensing machines. Safety Clothing and safety boots shall be replaced

at Company expense, outside of yearly issue, if rendered unserviceable by fair wear and

tear. The decision about what is unserviceable is to be determined after consultation with

the supervisor.

Other safety equipment is available from the warehouse as required. All PPE purchases,

other than warehouse stock items, shall be authorised by the Safety and Health

Superintendent. Where changes to the nature or style of stores stocks of PPE are

considered necessary or desirable, this should be discussed with the Safety and Health

Superintendent.

The Safety and Health Superintendent will consider the request in keeping with the

relevant legislation, Australian Standards, applicability and usefulness of the item from a

Callide Mine site perspective. During this review, consultation with the Safety Forums and

other persons as is appropriate may occur.

The Safety and Health Superintendent shall then make a recommendation to the SHE

Manager detailing the nature of any changes and the reasons for such change.

Compliance- All persons shall ensure that they have the appropriate PPE and wear it in

accordance with this SOP. Care of the PPE issued to coal mine workers and visitors is

the responsibility to whom it was issued. Compliance with this procedure is a condition of

employment and a condition of contract with the company. Persons will be subject to

normal disciplinary procedures should they fail to comply.

3.2 Mandatory PPE Requirements

3.3 Head Protection

Overview

The primary item of personal protective equipment for prevention of head injuries is the

safety helmet (hard hat) and as a result of the varying types of working conditions where

helmets are required, a range of accessories is available for added protection. These

include:

o bracket and clip for lamp attachment

o eye shield, face shield or welding shield

o wide brim for sun protection

o neck flaps for weather protection or protection from hot substances

o liners for cold conditions

o ear muffs

o chin straps

o reflective tapes

Helmet colours are used onsite to identify key roles as follows:-

o White helmet – all coal mine workers other than those below

o Green helmet - emergency response team

o Red helmet – fire wardens

o Blue helmet – new personnel to site will wear a blue helmet for the first 12

months they are onsite

o Visitors – pink

o Short term contractors may wear white or, their own coloured helmets as

long as they do not clash with the above mentioned colours. Green and

Red helmets are the only two colours contractors should not use.

Use of bump caps

Personnel in the heavy mobile equipment workshop, light vehicle workshop, the bucket

shop may use this form of head protection. Hard hats that comply with Australian

Standard 1801 must be worn at all other times.

There is no other exemption from wearing of hard hats whilst working on equipment or

machinery on the mine site in operational areas.




Act/Regs Ref:

Revision:

SHEC_5.1_SHS06

R.64 & R.65

(6) August 2015


Safety Helmets shall be worn when anyone is working below another employee and/or

where there a risk of any objects being dislodged or dropped such that it could injure the

person below.

Baseball caps and beanies shall not be worn underneath safety helmets.

Refer to WRAC P033_23012013_Production_All of Site_Wearing of Soft Broad Brimmed Hats

(SHOT CREW ONLY) regarding sunhats worn by the Shot crew.

3.4 Eye Protection

All persons shall wear approved eye protection whilst in mine areas, unless otherwise

exempted (refer section 3.2).

The hazards associated with a particular task or area should be evaluated and the most

appropriate type of eye protection selected. Examples of specific hazards and

appropriate eye protection are detailed in Appendix 3 of this procedure.

The minimum eye protection requirement is safety spectacles with side shields.

A large range of eye protection, replacement lenses and cleaning materials are available

at the Warehouse and through dispensing machines. The Safety Forums and Safety

and Health Superintendent will review the range of eye protection available to allow

upgrading/improvements as required.

Where it is identified that a higher level of eye/face protection is required; face shields,

goggles, welding helmets and air fed helmets are available.

When using angle grinders, double eye protection is mandatory i.e. high impact face

shield and safety glasses. Note:- many welding masks are not high impact rated.

Double eye protection must be used for all hot work tasks.

Only clear safety glasses shall be worn whilst performing maintenance tasks in the

maintenance workshops or the house of the draglines excluding high impact and hot

work.

Only clear safety glasses shall be worn whilst in the Boundary Hill reclaimer tunnel.

3.5 Corrective Safety Glasses

Assistance with corrective safety glasses shall be managed in accordance with the Safety

and Health Prescription Glasses Reimbursement Policy. This policy shall account for the

conditions detailed in site enterprise agreements relating to prescription glasses.

3.6 Protective Clothing

All employees will be issued with a supply of work clothing. The nature of the clothing

issue is to be consistent with the employee’s employment category and the hazards,

which may be reasonably expected to be encountered during the course of that

employee’s duties. Appendix 4 provides a table identifying employment categories,

hazards and minimum personal protective clothing requirements and should be used as a

guide when considering the selection, issue and wearing of personal protective clothing.

All employees shall wear the personal protective clothing supplied.

Due to the potentially serious risk posed by the wearing of fusible clothing, protective

clothing will be made from cotton or other natural fibre. It is strongly recommended that all

persons ensure their inner garments are also made of non-fusible material.

Any person including contractors and visitors shall be advised that they are not permitted

to wear jackets or other substantive items of clothing made of fusible material in all areas

except

o Inside office areas, crib rooms, control rooms, bathhouse and employee’s

car parks

o Courtyard between PC office building and Training Room (Southern)

Where this is unavoidable appropriate protective overalls shall be worn.

Shirts sleeves shall be rolled down and buttoned when in mine areas unless through a site recognized documented risk based approach it is deemed more hazardous. eg. Take 5 or JRA.

Personnel working outdoors who are potentially subjected to UV radiation should take

appropriate precautions. These include:

o the wearing of long sleeved shirts and long trousers. As a minimum the

standard of the ultraviolet protection factor shall be in accordance with AS/NZ

4399 for very good protection rating

o the wearing of a broad brim and neck flap attachment on hard hats

o the application of sunscreen, which has a 30+ (or greater)protection factor

Without detracting from any of the above, where there is any doubt as to the

appropriateness or otherwise of the clothing worn by any person on sites, a JRA shall be

conducted. This assessment will be based upon:

o the nature of the task or work to be undertaken

o the nature of other work or activities occurring in the immediate vicinity of the

person in question

o the environmental conditions existing at the time, and




Act/Regs Ref:

Revision:

SHEC_5.1_SHS06

R.64 & R.65

(6) August 2015


o the expected duration of the activity or task

o any other factors existing at the time or place which may affect the safety of

the person/s concerned

The risk assessment shall be conducted by the person/s in question in conjunction with

supervisor and other relevant personnel, to determine the level of protection required and

hence the type and style of personal protective clothing which is to apply in that situation.

3.7 Hand Protection

All personnel shall be issued with appropriate hand protection / gloves for use at Callide

Mine. (A variety of gloves are available from the Stores/dispensing machines dependent on

the task)

Gloves shall be carried by individuals or as a minimum be within close proximity – e.g.

contained within the vehicle.

It is mandatory for personnel to wear hand protection for all manual labour or tasks where

there is a potential risk of injury to hands and fingers. In the instances where it is

considered that additional risks are being introduced as a result of wearing hand protection,

a risk management approach shall be undertaken (i.e. Take 5, JRA) to determine whether

or not hand protection is required for that task. In this instance where fine motor dexterity is

required gloves may be removed for such tasks, but must be reapplied as soon as this fine

motor task is complete.

3.8 High Visibility Standard

All Personnel Working at Callide mine shall wear garments to the class D/N standard of

AS4602.The minimum standard is for a pattern of retro reflective material on the upper

torso only and this material must be non-static tape on a florescent background material.

Personnel may be given the option to change severely soiled clothing throughout the

duration of a shift with the approval of their supervisor.

A high visibility clothing exemption is available for those personnel who believe it is

appropriate for an exemption to be awarded. The SSE only can approve this exemption.

3.9 Electrical Personnel

Any person required to work on electrical equipment shall wear flame-retardant clothing

(such as cotton or wool). Rings, chains (wrist and neck) and metal watches or other

conductive items should be removed before starting electrical work. Prescriptive eyewear

shall have polycarbonate frames.

3.10 Hearing Protection

Hearing protection shall be worn, at a minimum, in areas where indicated by signage.

Noise surveys shall be conducted as outlined in the SHEMS Procedure - Noise and the

results of these surveys shall indicate areas where hearing protection is required.

Employees may choose to wear hearing protection, in any area, for personal comfort.

3.11 Specialised PPE

Some tasks may require specific items of PPE to protect persons from hazards

associated with that task. Individuals shall assess the situation/task and determine if any

specialised PPE is required. Job instructions, relevant SWP’s and SOP’s, guidance from

supervisors and other persons may also identify the need for specialised PPE. All

specialised PPE is only to be worn for the duration of the task & must be included in the

risk assessment for that task. Such PPE may include –

o Respiratory protection - when grinding, working in dusty areas

o Welding aprons/jackets – for some types of hot work

o Air-fed Helmets – when welding in confined spaces

o Wet Weather gear (Cleaners)

o Fall protection (workshop)

o Buoyancy Aids (working near body of water)

o Task appropriate disposable overalls can be worn while carrying out tasks

taking into account the following:

▪ Visibility (High Visibility vest can be worn over disposable overalls)

▪ Fusibility (Not to be worn in areas where there is an ignition source.

Non fusible cothing to be worn against skin)

▪ Hot working environments

▪ Only to be worn for the duration of the task

▪ Must be risk assessed in Take 5 or JRA

3.12 Training & Awareness

All persons will be familiarised with the site requirements for PPE during inductions and

re-inductions.

Where specialised PPE is required, personnel shall be familiarised with the use and

maintenance of that equipment.

2. Objectives of Risk Assessment This risk assessment will be utilised to update the: SOP; Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Any previous versions of this risk assessment conducted under the “Purpose” as detailed within will be superseded by this version.

3. Scope of Task being Assessed This risk assessment shall support SOP SHEC_5.1_MMSHS06 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (eg. SOP/SWP) and applies to all persons who work at or visit Callide and Boundary Hill Mine Sites. Review of this risk assessment is indicated below or when triggered by an event involving: Hot Work

4. Stakeholders The stakeholders of this risk assessment will be anyone affected by the outcomes, from coal mine workers, company officials, company stakeholders, or the general public. All stakeholders affected by the outcomes of this risk assessment will be informed about the outcomes by formal or informal means. Actions from the risk assessment will be entered into the Site Safe database and assigned to an accountable and responsible person to complete the actions. The facilitator, who assigns to accountable and responsible persons, is to notify these people of the assigned actions, as these people are stakeholders of the outcomes of this risk assessment.

5. Risk Analysis Methodology

A qualitative risk assessment method based upon the WRAC (workplace risk assessment and control) process is applied. This involved breaking down the (work / activity, process, project or change) into a set of elements or steps (WBS – work breakdown structure) in order to provide a logical framework to identify the hazards and risks, analyse risks, evaluate risks and treat risks. This method accords with AS NZS ISO 31000-2009 - Risk Management - Principles and Guidelines and SHEC Standard 5.1 The Management of SHEC Risk.
