  31. Questions?

  32. Additional Information forAAFC Staff & CSNCOs 32

  33. Duty of Care • “Duty of Care” is a legal duty you have, based on your responsibilities as a worker, taking into account your knowledge and skill level. • A breach of ‘Duty of Care’ occurs when you don’t follow procedures that you have been trained in that results in damage to a person or property.

  34. Reasonable Care • Participate safely in all AAFC activities • Ensure you do not initiate (or fail to halt) some process or activity which creates a risk or increases an existing risk to your own health and safety or that of other workers in or near the workplace • Use equipment provided in accordance with instructions (this includes personal protective equipment)

  35. Reasonable Care Cont. • Cooperate with supervisors to enable an ‘Officer’ to meet their WHS obligations i.e. follow the safety procedure, instructions and training given to you • Ensure that any identified hazards in your workplace are reported and the risk they create is managed until rectified through the chain of command or USC/WSA • Complete WHS incident notifications and reports within timeframes as required

  36. Examples of Wilful Failure of Duty • Staff in personal relationship with a Cadet • Cadet injured during an un-approved activity • RAMP not read by participating staff and they don’t follow the risk controls (e.g. no First Aid kit if specified)

  37. AAFC Safety Management System • Our aim is to develop our safety culture where it is just the normal way we do every activity safely. • A Safety Management Plan will be developed by the AAFC Senior Leadership Team in the first half of 2012 • A Safety Management System will then be implemented during 2012 and will ensure compliance with the Work Health Safety Act. • Training in the implementation of the Safety Management Plan and Safety Management System will be developed for AAFC staff and cadets

  38. Resources and Templates • Support is available through the: • SSA, • WSA, DAFLO, • USA / USC, • Policy, Procedure and Standard Instructions Templates • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) sheets

  39. Visitor Entry Procedures All Visitors to 303SQN must report to Bldg 001 (HQ) to sign in and be inducted by the CO / XO / USC. A Visitor Pass must be worn at all times. All visitors must: Be escorted by a Uniformed AAFC Staff member at all times while at 303SQN Obey all directions from AAFC Staff members 39

  40. Hazard Management 40

  41. What is a Hazard? Any condition that has the potential to cause an injury or harm to a person. 41

  42. Types of Hazards Physical (electrical, mechanical, noise & temperature) Chemical (fumes, liquids, gases & vapours) Ergonomic (work area layout & use of equipment) Radiation (ultraviolet exposure from sun & RF exposure) Psychological (workload, stress, external factors) Biological (viruses & bacteria) 42

  43. Hazard Management Process The Four Steps of the Hazard Management Process are: IDENTIFY REVIEW ASSESS CONTROL 43

  44. Step 1 - Hazard Identification How do we identify hazards ? Hazard Reports Workplace Inspections Incident Reports & Investigations Consultation with Staff & Cadets RAAFSAFE Audits 44

  45. Hazard Reporting (AAP6730.001 Pt1 Sect 3 Ch 2) Hazards should be resolved at lowest possible level Any identified hazard should be reported on a OA079 - Hazard Report Form These are available on SQN Safety Noticeboards Hand all completed OA079’s to the USC 45

  46. Step 2 - Assess the Risk Risk is the outcome of exposure to a hazard Risk is measured in terms of Consequence and Likelihood 46

  47. AAFC - Risk Assessment IAW AAP 5110.001 AAFC POLMAN Part 6 Chap 3 Div 1 “Risk management must be applied to any AAFC task or activity” This is conducted by the Activity OIC using the AAFC “RAMP” Tool (Risk Assessment and Management Process) 303SQN USC can assist Activity OIC’s in completion of an Activity RAMP. 47

  48. Step 3 – Control the Hazard Control measures should be put in place to reduce the risk presented by the Hazard. For example: Hazard = Heat Stress during outdoor activities Risk = Major / Probable = HIGH Control = Schedule outdoor activities in cooler periods of the day Residual Risk = Major / Rare = LOW Control measures will fall into one of the five categories in the “Hierarchy of Controls” 48

  49. Hierarchy of Controls Elimination Substitution Isolation Engineering Administration PPE Most Effective Least Effective 49

  50. Hierarchy of Controls Elimination Substitution Isolation Engineering Administration PPE Most Effective Control the Hazard Least Effective Control the Person 50
