RISK MA
 An ordinary wooden door will keep out fire for a while - so go into a room, shut the door, put
a blanket or carpet at the bottom of the door to keep out smoke and call for help from the
windows by waving a handkerchief, torch or other, visible object.
If a person's clothing catches fire:

 Wrap a blanket or rug around the person to smother the flames and lay him / her on the
floor.
 Alternatively - roll the person on the floor, using a coat or similar article to smother the
flames.

 Prevent the flames from reaching the face by not allowing the victim to stand until all flames
have been put out.
 If your own clothes catch fire - call for help, clap your hand over your mouth, lie down and
roll in a blanket or coat if possible.

Explosions / Suspicious objects
 Assist in the evacuation of the premises according to your organisation’s emergency
procedures.

 Notify the SAPS and official in charge of security.
 Open emergency exits and direct and assist staff and clients towards these exits.

 If possible, close entry doors and exercise crowd control with special emphasis on possible
looters.
 When SAPS / Superiors arrive, hand the situation over to them.

Reporting on Incidents and Accidents
Incidents

Incidents are all unplanned events which will occur during your working shift while lifting, lowering
and transporting items, goods and also during your off-work period when you are at home, travelling
or doing something else.
Any incident involving you, your overhead crane, vehicles, containers, lifting equipment and the
items that you are loading, offloading and transporting must be reported to your Supervisor or other
person concerned (depending on company structure/rules) immediately, so that the correct action
can be taken because most incidents can lead to accidents, delays, loss of income etc if left
unattended.

It might be required to verbally report an incident and also to complete all the required documents
and forms which must be given to the responsible persons for receiving this information.
