Hot & Cold Weather Policy

All employees have the responsibility to perform their duties in a manner which ensures their own safety and that of others and to cooperate in any safety requirement in the workplace.

Hot - All employees are issued with UV protective clothing, sun-screen and hats and are instructed to wear the appropriate protective clothing as required. In addition to this, Blayney Crane Services employees are advised to take alternate measures to ensure their good health and well being, eg. Constant re-hydration, staying in shaded areas as often as possible.

Cold -  All employees are issued with gloves, long sleeved and long legged PPE and are advised to carry sufficient extra warm clothing.

Inclement Weather – Inclement weather means the existence of abnormal climatic conditions ( ie, excessive rain, hail, snow, high winds, cold, heat or any combination thereof ) by virtue of which it is not reasonable or safe under the provision of the OH&S legislation to continue working whilst such conditions prevail.

Employees unable to work at a site due to inclement weather may be required to:

  • Remain on site or at the job location
  • Transfer the crane to an alternate site or location
  • Return to depot

Until such inclement weather ceases or abates to allow safe work to continue.

Replacement – All items will be replaced periodically, provisions will also be made available on a fair wear and tear basis, provided that they are produced to the Company as evidence.
