Duties of the engineering supervisor (ES) or safe work leader (SWL) in a possession
Synopsis
You will need this handbook if you carry out the duties of the ES or SWL in a possession.
Summary Of Changes
New instruction at clause 3.4 to specify minimum distance between the detonator protection and the site of work when work-site marker boards are not provided. At section 4.5, the term ‘site warden warning’ has been amended to ‘separated’ to describe the arrangement under which an Individual Working Alone (IWA) could work without a site warden, or where a COSS works with one other person. This section has been amended to clarify also that an IWA cannot use a site warden as part of this safe system of work.
