OCCUPATION CLASSES FOR EARTHMOVING MACHINERY

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld) (WHS Act) operators of earthmoving or particular crane (EPC) occupational classes are no longer required to be licensed to operate the following types of equipment:


  • front-end loader backhoe
  • bridge and gantry (remote control) crane
  • excavator
  • front-end loader
  • scraper
  • road roller
  • grader
  • skid steer loader
  • dozer


The WHS Act imposes duties on persons with management or control of a workplace ('Managers'), to ensure the health and safety of their workers. This applies to directors and license nominees of companies undertaking their own construction work.


While operators are no longer required to be licensed, Managers must ensure that all persons operating equipment are trained and competent.



Managers must ensure that operators:


  • receive adequate information, training and instructions and supervision

  • are competent
  • use the appropriate plant to minimise any risks to health and safety


While the training can be informal on the job training, Workplace Health and Safety Queensland encourages formal training and assessment through registered training organisations. Training must be undertaken prior to the plant being used and should be practical and suit the needs of workers.


DEMONSTRATING THE OPERATOR'S COMPETENCY

In determining whether an operator is competent to use the plant, Managers may refer to:


  • any previous certificates of competency issued under the repealed Workplace Health and Safety Regulation 2008
  • a statement of attainment in a previous Queensland Unit of competency or other nationally recognised qualification for the type of plant that they are operating
  • on the job training by an experienced and competent person which can be verified by logbooks or employer references


It is good practice for Managers to keep adequate evidence and records of competency in the event of incident.


UNLICENSED MINORS OR ADULTS OPERATING EARTHMOVING EQUIPMENT

It is increasingly common for younger workers, who do not hold valid driving licences and have limited driving experience, to move vehicles and earthmoving machinery on site. While it is not necessary for minors to hold a valid driving licence, the same rules apply - all operators (including minors) must be trained and competent to operate the machinery.


Young workers often lack experience which may result in a reduced ability to identify hazards associated with the operation of earthmoving machinery or to understand the importance of following safe operating instructions.


Managers should ensure that unlicensed individuals receive in-depth practical and 'hands on' training to compensate for their lack of experience and knowledge.


If the machinery is required to be driven on the road, only an operator who holds a valid Queensland drivers licence of the relevant class and is trained and competent in the class of machinery must do so. The machine must also be road registered or hold a permit (or exemption) so as to allow the machine to be on the road.


CAUTION WHEN SLINGING A LOAD

A competent person is able to sling a load without the relevant licence in circumstances where there is no judgment required for slinging techniques or suitability and the condition of lifting gear as the following factors are predetermined:


  • the weight of the load to be lifted has been predetermined by a competent person
  • selection of the sling and slinging techniques for the load is predetermined by a competent person
  • the condition of lifting gear is predetermined by a competent person
  • the lifting points are predetermined by a competent person and marked on the load
  • the load is lifted within the view of the operator at the times
  • standard lifting procedures have been documented and signed-off by a competent person


In circumstances where the above factors are not met only a person with a high risk work dogging licence must be operate the EPC machinery.


BREACH OF DUTIES

In order to minimise any risk to health and safety, Managers should ensure that all operators have the necessary skills and competence.


Managers and workers who fail to comply with their health and safety duties under the WHS Act may be convicted of an offence. The WHS Act provides for 3 categories of offences depending on the degree of seriousness or culpability involved. The highest penalty under the WHS Act is $600,000 or 5 years jail for individuals conducting a business and up to $300,000 or 5 years jail for an individual such as a worker.


TEMPORARY POWER POLE INSTALLATION GUIDE

  • We require clear access to the site to dig a 1300mm hole for the TBS.
  • Energex will not energize the TBS unless 3 firm stays are present at 120° intervals. The radius of the stays is approximately 2 metres. The pole and 3 stays must be located within the property boundary and the service wire from the Energex street pole to the TBS must not cross a neighbor's property.
  • Wet weather can restrict access to sites and can delay our installation and removal of poles.
  • Mark the preferred position of the pole (normally tight right or the left hand side) on the site with a stake or marker paint to assist us to avoid underground services such as water, gas and phone. Other points to consider are the future point of attachment to the house, the nearest Energex pole and to avoid any adjoining property boundary crossing.
  • There is a 3 metre 'exclusion zone' around the TBS. If any worker, scaffold, roof line or any part of the construction needs to be within the 'exclusion zone', A Safety Advice must be obtained by phoning Energex on 131 253. The inspection and written advice takes 5 to 10 business days.
  • Supervisors will need to ensure the electrician has submitted a EWR to Energex for final connection and there is an account opened by the builder or the home owner with an Electricity Retailer, e.g. Origin or AGL.
  • When Energex have received both pieces of information they will carry out the final connection to the premises within 5 days.
  • Supervisors will need to advise JC Hire when the wires are off the TBS and we will off hire and collect the pole.



Please be mindful of the access required at the end of the job (eg fences, landscaping, building materials etc.) so that we can remove the pole.

(c)    all costs of repairing any damage caused by:

(i)    the ordinary use of the Equipment;

(ii)    the negligence of the Client or the Client’s agent;

(iii)    vandalism, or (in JC Hire’s reasonable opinion) in any way whatsoever other than by the ordinary use of the Equipment by the Client.

(d)    the cost of fuels and consumables provided by JC Hire and used by the Client;

(e)    any:

(i)    lost hire fees JC Hire would have otherwise been entitled to for the Equipment, under this, or any other hire agreement;

(iii)    insurance excess payable in relation to a claim made by either the Client or JC Hire in relation to any damage caused by, or to, the hire Equipment whilst the same is hired by the Client and irrespective of whether charged by the Client’s insurers or JC Hire’s.


16.    Long Distance Maintenance and Breakdowns

16.1    This clause 16 applies should the Client hire Equipment for use at a long-distance location.

16.2    Scheduled services for all Equipment located at a long-distance location will be subject to a per kilometre charge both to and from the premises nominated by the Client. There will be no charge for the first fifty (50) km either way.

16.3    Scheduled services for multiple items of Equipment which are located at the long-distance location will only be charged as one call out.

16.4    The Client remains responsible for maintenance and care of all Equipment in accordance with clause 15, including, but not limited to, checking of all fluids (fuel, oil, water, battery levels, waste tanks etc.), checking of all hoses (hydraulic, fuel and water), general tightening of any loose nuts, bolts, belts or fittings and lubrication of all grease points.

16.5    If the Equipment breaks down at a long-distance location, the Client will pay JC Hire the costs associated with any attendance to the long-distance location in addition to any other costs payable under this Contract and shall be shown as a variation as per clause 5.2.


17.    Damage Waiver

17.1    The hire Charge may include a charge for the damage waiver. The damage waiver is charged at ten percent (10%) of the value of the total hire costs. Damage waiver is not insurance but is an agreement by JC Hire to limit the Client’s liability in certain circumstances for loss, theft, or damage to the Equipment to an amount called the damage waiver excess fee. The damage waiver excess fee is explained in clause 17.5 notwithstanding the limitations set out in clause 15.

17.2    For the purpose of this clause the term “Equipment” does not include any tools, accessories, parts, grease guns, hoses, electrical cords, lights, light globes, and other similar accessories, ground engaging tools, tracks, tyres, windscreens, mirrors, glass, and perspex.

17.3    The Client is not required to pay the damage waiver fee from the date the Client produces a certificate of currency for an appropriate policy of insurance that covers loss, theft, or damage to the Equipment during the hire period for an amount not less than the replacement value of the Equipment. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Client is liable to pay the damage waiver fee for that portion of the hire period where a certificate of currency required pursuant to the clause remains outstanding (“Uninsured Period”) and the Client is not entitled to any credit and/or reimbursement of the damage waiver fee charged and/or paid that relates to the Uninsured Period. The Client is responsible for any excess and any other costs associated with the Client’s insurance and the Client is responsible for any shortfall in repair or replacement costs of the Equipment following payment of any amount received under the Client’s insurance, including any loss JC Hire suffers as a result of not being able to hire the Equipment.

17.4    Where the Client has paid the damage waiver fee, JC Hire will waive it’s right to claim against the Client for loss, theft, or damage to the Equipment if:

(a)    for theft, the Client has promptly reported the incident to the police and provided JC Hire with a written police report;

(b)    the Client has co-operated with JC Hire and provided them with the details of the incident, including any written or photographic evidence JC Hire requires; and

(c)    the loss, theft or damage does not fall into one or more of the circumstances set out in clause 15.

17.5    The damage waiver excess for each item of Equipment is the amount calculated as follows:

(a)    replacement – where the Equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair:

(i)    subject to clause 17.5(a)(ii), the damage waiver excess fee for each item of Equipment that is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, will be the amount equal to the greater of:

A.    five hundred ($ 500,00) Australian Dollars + GST or:

B.        ten percent (10%) of the new replacement cost.

(ii)    where the new replacement cost is less than five hundred ($ 500.00) Australian Dollars, the damage waiver excess fee will be an amount equal to the new replacement cost.

(b)    repair – where the Equipment is partially damaged and can be repaired:

(i)    subject to clause 17.5(b)(ii), the damage waiver excess fee for each item of Equipment that is partially damaged and can be repaired will be the amount equal to the greater of:

A.    five hundred ($ 500.00) Australian Dollars + GST or:

B.    ten percent (10%) of the new replacement cost.

(ii)    where the repair cost of the Equipment is less than five hundred ($500.00) Australian Dollars, the damage waiver excess will be an amount equal to the lesser of the repair cost and the new replacement cost.

17.6    Even if the Client has paid the damage waiver fee, JC Hire will not waive its rights to claim against the Client for loss, theft or damage to the Equipment and the damage waiver will not apply if the loss, theft, or damage has arisen from anything referred to in clause 15 or if the loss, theft or damage:

(a)    has arisen as a result of the Client’s breach of a clause of this Contract;

(b)    has been caused by the Client’s negligent act or omission;

(c)    has arisen as a result of the Client’s use of the Equipment in violation of any laws;

(d)    has been caused by the Client’s failure to use the Equipment for its intended purpose or in accordance with JC Hire’s instructions or the manufacturer’s instructions;

(e)    occurs to the Equipment whilst it is located, used, loaded, unloaded, transported on or over water, dams, pools, wharves, bridges or vessels of any kind;

(f)    has been caused by a lack of lubrication or a failure to properly service or maintain the Equipment ;

(g)    has been caused by collision with a bridge, carpark, awning, gutter, tree or any other overhead structure or object due to insufficient clearance;

(h)    has been caused by the overloading of the Equipment or any components thereof;

(i)    is to motors or other electrical Equipment or components within the Equipment caused by electrical overload, a surge in electrical current or the use of under-rated or excessive lengths of extension leads with the electrical Equipment;

(j)    is caused by exposure to any corrosive or caustic substance, such as cyanide, salt water, acid, etc;

(k)    is caused by vandalism;

(l)    is to tyres or tubes; or

(m)    is to windscreens, mirrors, glass, or perspex.


18.    Cancellation

18.1    Without prejudice to any other remedies JC Hire may have, if at any time the Client is in breach of any obligation (including those relating to payment) under these terms of hire JC Hire may repossess the Equipment as per clause 11.2, or suspend or terminate the supply of Equipment to the Client and any of its other obligations under the terms and conditions.

Jurisdiction


This Website (excluding any linked third-party sites) is controlled by Us from Our principal business premises in Australia.

In addition, We or Our subcontractors may use cloud technology to store or process Personal Information, which may result in storage of data outside Australia.

We shall be under no liability whatsoever to You for any indirect and/or consequential loss and/or expense (including loss of profit) suffered by You arising out of a breach by Us of these terms and conditions (alternatively Our liability shall be limited to damages which under no circumstances shall exceed the Fee of the Services).
