Australian Standards 3745-2010:
Your emergency procedures including quality nationally accredited training is crucial to ensuring the safety of a workplace and involves multiple key factors that should be complied with in order to do so. AS 3745:2010 – “Planning for Emergencies in Facilities” provides a framework that is recommended as a vital reference when developing your workplace’s plans for emergency management.
It lays out how to meet Safe Work Australia’s Code of Practice on Managing the Work Environment and Facilities, which is a set of pragmatic guidelines to assist your compliance with the WHS Act (2011). AS 3745:2010 provides a summary of your minimum requirements when developing and implementing an emergency procedure or plan for your facility. This procedure ensures the safety of all those within the building (including visitors, contractors, etc.) during an emergency. It includes preparing for emergencies and should include procedures for any type of scenario that can affect your workplace.
Model Code of Practice: Managing the work environment and facilities Safe Work Australia:
This Code of Practice on managing the work environment and facilities is an approved code of practice under section 274 of the Work Health and Safety Act (the WHS Act). Duty holders who have a role in ensuring work environments and facilities are without risk to health and safety include:
- Persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs)
- Persons with management or control of a workplace
- Designers, manufacturers, importers, suppliers and installers of plant, substances or structures, designers of structures, and officers.
The Code provides guidance on how to manage the risks associated with the work environment and facilities in the workplace using the following systematic process:
- Identify hazards—find out what could cause harm.
- Assess risks, if necessary—understand the nature of the harm that could be caused by the hazard, how serious the harm could be and the likelihood of it happening. This step may not be necessary if you are dealing with a known risk with known controls.
- Control risks—implement the most effective control measures that are reasonably practicable in the circumstances in accordance with the hierarchy of control measures, and ensure they remain effective over time.
- Review control measures to ensure they are working as planned.
