CPCCBC4002A - OHS Safety Codes in Building & Construction Workplace

This report outlines the OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) codes and standards that should be adhered to in a building and construction workplace, referencing the CPCCBC4002A unit. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing human life and adhering to safety regulations. The report covers specific safety measures for various construction activities, including electrical installations (proper labeling, cable placement, and insulation), excavator operation (PPE usage), carpentry (following codes, hardware maintenance, and protective equipment), plumbing (work area inspection and lockout/tag-out procedures), bricklaying (safe material handling and mechanical lifting), and concreting (safe lifting practices and site maintenance). It highlights the need for continuous supervision and adherence to site safety requirements, acknowledging that some precision measures may be compromised due to cost.

Introduction
In every work place, it is normally required that safety standards are adhered to. Although most
of the construction firms are established primarily for the generation of the profit, the human life

is give priority. Nearly all the states have defined their own ways and means of ensuring that the
safety standards are followed and completely adhered to(Gardner, Gardner and O'connell 2014).
Electrical Installation
The electrical installations are guided by the OHS regulations that ensure the safety standards are
followed. According to these standards, the terminals of the cables must be properly labeled. The
cables should be placed in positions that are raised high just to minimize contact chances. There
is requirement of heavy insulation of the cables
Excavator
The design of this machine has been made in such a way that reduces and lowers the risk as
much as possible. The OHS regulations requires that operators use the PPEs in their day to day
operations.
Carpenter
The OHS regulations requires that carpenter follows the following for safety
Know about and pursue all Municipal, Provincial and Federal codes, enactment and controls.
Review all hardware before utilizing.
Keep all hardware in decent shape.
Try not to evacuate security shields/gadgets.
Wear/utilize endorsed defensive hardware consistently.
Plumber
Evacuate rings, watches and free dress; appropriately keep long hair.
Investigate work region for perilous conditions, and cure before starting work.

Keep work zones in a spotless and safe condition.
Pursue all lockout/tag-out strategies as required.
Bricklayer
The OHS requires that the Bricklayer perform the following activities:
Building up an unmistakable access/departure approach to take into account the sheltered
development of block packs and different materials and gear around the site. Conveying
materials as near the activity as could be expected under the circumstances and setting them on
level dimension ground. Choosing materials that are lighter and less demanding to deal with (this
will diminish the general outstanding burden of the bricklayer). Considering mechanical lifting
and taking care of hardware to move block packs and other substantial materials. Gear
incorporates particularly planned wheel dump carts, block trolleys, cranes and lift trucks(Ma,
Cooper, Daly and Ledo 2012).
Concreter
Not depending on group lifting. Group lifting is neither time nor financially savvy yet on the off
chance that it can't be stayed away from all bricklayers must be legitimately prepared.
Site acceptance (preparing and so forth.) and continuous supervision from the standard
temporary worker including upkeep of clear walkways.
Anchoring and keeping up working stage boards. They ought to be anchored to enable
bricklayers to finish their work with a decent stance.

The OHS requirements ensure the site safety.The site however has not adhered to some of the
safety requirements like the precision due to their expensive nature..
