Your role in maintaining safety is vital. Employers are required by the OHS Act to provide a safe working environment, assess hazards, implement precautions, correct deviations, offer training, and enforce safety rules. Employees must ensure their own safety and that of others, follow procedures, and report unsafe conditions and incidents. By working together, we create a safer workplace for all..
[Audio] Contractor management is critical to safety. Contractors must ensure a safety file is submitted and approved, by tsebo, before starting work. Upon arrival, contractors must sign in at security, who will thereafter inform tsebo of your arrival. Tsebo will provide guidance and escort you to your work area where appropriate. No contractor may enter unescorted without prior arrangements. If needed, a permit to work will be issued to ensure compliance and safety..

Contractors are required to sign the visitor register and collect a "CONTRACTOR" lanyard, which must be worn at all times while on site. No contractor will be allowed entry without prior approval from tsebo. Where necessary, contractors will be escorted to their designated work areas. Contractors must remain in their assigned zones and avoid loitering or accessing unauthorized areas. Once the work is completed, contractors must inform a TSEBO team member. Only after receiving approval may they leave the building, contractors must then return their lanyard and sign out at the same security point. Parking: Use designated parking only. Reverse park and maintain a 10 km/h speed limit..
[Audio] Personal Protective Equipment PPE, is a critical component of workplace safety. Supervisors must ensure that employees have the correct PPE and that it is used properly. Employees are responsible for maintaining their PPE and checking it before use. Contractors must wear the appropriate PPE for their tasks and ensure it is always worn correctly. Proper use of PPE helps prevent injuries and ensures compliance with safety standards..
[Audio] Emergency Preparedness and Response, a critical aspect of ensuring everyone's safety in the event of an emergency. Emergencies can happen at any time—whether it's a fire, chemical spill, or another hazard—so it's essential to know exactly what to do. Step 1: Cease Activities As soon as the emergency alarm sounds, stop all work immediately. Listen carefully and follow the instructions of the evacuation marshal. If it is safe to do so, turn off any electrical equipment to prevent further hazards. Step 2: Exit Workstation Do not attempt to collect personal belongings. Calmly follow the emergency signage to the nearest safe fire exit and do not use elevators or the main stairway. Step 3: Proceed to Assembly Point Head directly to the designated assembly area, following the evacuation marshal's instructions. Evacuation marshals will sweep the building to ensure everyone has exited safely. Step 4: Roll Call Once at the assembly point, stand in an orderly manner. The facilities team and evacuation marshals will conduct a roll call to account for all contractors and visitors. Responsible supervisors must ensure that everyone under their supervision has safely evacuated. Step 5: Wait Remain at the assembly point until the Emergency Coordinator gives the all-clear to re-enter the building. Do not leave the area or return to the building until instructed. Important Reminders: - Do not use elevators or the main stairway during an evacuation. - Do not run, shout, panic, or push others. - Stay calm and assist others if needed. Being prepared and following these steps can save lives. Your cooperation is vital in maintaining a safe environment for everyone on site..
