Here is some safety information related to managing bird dropping and bat droppings.

Hazards: The main hazards associated with handling bird droppings and bat droppings include exposure to harmful microorganisms, fungal spores, and parasites that can cause diseases such as histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and salmonellosis. Additionally, there is a risk of slips, trips, and falls due to the slippery nature of the droppings.

Risk Assessment: Prior to commencing work, a risk assessment should be conducted to identify potential hazards and implement appropriate control measures to mitigate these risks. The risk assessment should consider the following factors:

  • The location of the droppings, including the height and accessibility of the area.
  • The type of bird or bat droppings being handled.
  • The potential for exposure to harmful microorganisms and fungal spores.
  • The need for personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection.
  • The availability of appropriate cleaning and disinfecting agents.

Control Measures:

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) All workers handling bird droppings and bat droppings must wear appropriate PPE to protect themselves from exposure to harmful microorganisms and fungal spores. PPE may include gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection.
  2. Safe Work Practices All workers should follow safe work practices to prevent slips, trips, and falls. This may include wearing slip-resistant footwear, using ladders or scaffolds, and avoiding working on wet or slippery surfaces.
  3. Cleaning and Disinfecting All contaminated areas should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using appropriate cleaning agents. Workers should avoid creating dust by wetting the area with water before cleaning. The cleaning and disinfecting agents used should be approved for use against the specific microorganisms present in the droppings.
  4. Disposal All contaminated materials, including droppings, cleaning rags, and PPE, should be placed in sealed bags and disposed of appropriately in accordance with local regulations.

Emergency Procedures: In the event of an emergency, workers should follow the site-specific emergency procedures.

Training: All workers should receive training on the safe handling and disposal of bird droppings and bat droppings. Training should include information on the potential hazards associated with exposure to harmful microorganisms and fungal spores, the use of PPE, safe work practices, cleaning and disinfecting procedures, and disposal requirements.

Gary’s Safety Tips

Hey everyone, it’s your safety guy Gary, and today I want to talk about how to implement safe work method statements in your workplace. It’s a topic that may not seem glamorous, but it’s essential for keeping your team safe and productive.

First off, what exactly is a safe work method statement (SWMS)? Essentially, it’s a document that outlines the steps involved in carrying out a particular task or activity safely. It identifies the hazards associated with the task and the control measures that will be put in place to mitigate those hazards. In short, it’s a plan for getting the job done safely.

So, how do you implement SWMS in your workplace? Let me break it down into a few key steps.

Step 1: Identify the tasks that require a SWMS

The first step is to identify the tasks in your workplace that require a SWMS. This will typically include high-risk tasks such as working at heights, operating heavy machinery, and working with hazardous chemicals. Your workplace health and safety regulator can provide guidance on which tasks require a SWMS.

Step 2: Create your SWMS

Once you’ve identified the tasks that require a SWMS, the next step is to create the document. There are plenty of templates available online that you can use as a starting point. Make sure you include the following information:

  • The task or activity being performed
  • The hazards associated with the task
  • The control measures that will be put in place to mitigate those hazards
  • The people responsible for carrying out the task and implementing the control measures
  • Any additional requirements such as personal protective equipment (PPE) or training

Step 3: Communicate the SWMS to your team

Once you’ve created your SWMS, the next step is to communicate it to your team. This could involve a training session where you go through the SWMS in detail, or simply distributing the document and ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities.

Step 4: Implement the SWMS

The final step is to implement the SWMS. This involves ensuring that the control measures outlined in the SWMS are actually put in place and adhered to. It’s important to monitor the implementation of the SWMS and make adjustments if necessary.

So, why bother with SWMS in the first place? Well, there are a few key benefits:

  1. Keeping your team safe: The most important benefit of SWMS is that they help to keep your team safe. By identifying hazards and implementing control measures, you can minimise the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace.
  2. Meeting your legal obligations: In many jurisdictions, employers are required by law to have SWMS in place for certain tasks. By implementing SWMS, you can ensure that you’re meeting your legal obligations and avoid potential fines and penalties.
  3. Improving productivity: When your team knows exactly what they need to do to complete a task safely, they can focus on getting the job done rather than worrying about potential hazards. This can lead to increased productivity and efficiency in the workplace.

So, there you have it, folks. Implementing safe work method statements in your workplace may not be the most exciting topic, but it’s an essential part of keeping your team safe and productive. Remember to identify the tasks that require a SWMS, create the document, communicate it to your team, and implement the SWMS in your workplace. Stay safe out there, and catch you on the flip side.

Cheers,
