Site Shutdown & Summer Weather Preparation

Every project needs to be prepared for the Christmas holiday shutdown.

Sites must be secure and ready for any potential weather events during the shutdown period.

All projects need to prepare, plan and coordinate the implementation of Hutchies' shutdown and storm preparation processes prior to the break.

This includes: 

  • Ensuring plant, amenities, temporary structures and perimeter fencing is secured with the relevant site contacts for the break displayed on the perimeter fence
  • Ensure external areas / works are secure and have controls in place as per erosion sediment control plans
  • As a Project Team, ensure there is a communicated plan to attend the project during the break for emergencies
  • Checking that open excavations and trenches have been filled or barricaded

All shutdown checklists are to be completed on HammerTech > Inspections: Site Shutdown Storm Preparation Checklist (F-084)

Make sure bin chute systems are installed correctly, following the tested systems and the manufacturers’ instructions.

Any changes to the tested systems must be approved by your project certifier, signed off by the fire engineer in the fire engineering report (FER), and accepted by the relevant state / territory fire service.
