What this SWMS covers
Make safe operations involve securing construction sites and hazardous areas through systematic hazard identification, isolation, and protective measures. The work encompasses site assessment, barricade installation, electrical and mechanical isolation, signage placement, and security monitoring during non-working periods, adverse weather, or emergency situations. Construction sites present complex challenges with multiple hazards including excavations, scaffolding, power systems, hazardous materials, and construction equipment requiring coordinated protective measures. Make safe procedures follow a structured approach from initial hazard identification through implementation, monitoring, and documentation. Operations require coordination with site managers, emergency services, property owners, and regulatory authorities. Electrical isolation involves safe disconnection and lockout/tagout procedures, while mechanical systems require proper securing and energy dissipation. Barricading uses appropriate materials and signage to prevent unauthorized access while maintaining emergency service access. Security monitoring may involve patrols, surveillance systems, and rapid response protocols. Documentation maintains detailed records of hazards identified, measures implemented, and monitoring activities for compliance and incident investigation. Emergency integration ensures make safe protocols can be rapidly activated during incidents or changing site conditions.
