Executive Summary

Savills Facilities Management was engaged to perform a hazard identification and

compliance assessment (HICA) of 459 Little Collins Street, Melbourne. The key

objectives of this project were to identify the outstanding occupational health, safety,

environmental (OHS&E) and associated business risks to Uniting Church (NSW) Trust

Association Ltd and (where applicable) develop practical and cost-effective measures to mitigate these risks.

The project involved a comprehensive inspection of the premises, along with a review

of relevant documentation and discussions with key on-site and contractor personnel.

A detailed checklist was utilised during the site visit, with this checklist incorporating a list

of current legislation, standards and codes of practice for a range of OHS&E hazards,

such as:

• Legionella

• Asbestos / Hazardous Materials

• Dangerous Goods / Hazardous Substances

• Hazardous Waste

• Disability Access

• Radio Frequency Radiation

• Fire

• Confined Spaces

• Plant Equipment

• Working at Height

• Emergency Management

• Workplace Environment

• Traffic Hazards

• Environmental Hazards

• Electrical Hazards

In addition, hazards affecting public liability (e.g. slips, trips and falls) and contractor

management were assessed against best-practice measures.

A total of 29 control measures have been recommended as part of the HICA project,

with prompt action duly required to address risks associated with falls from height and

hazardous chemicals in particular.

If required, Savills FM can coordinate the rectification measures nominated in this report

to further assist Uniting Church (NSW) Trust Association Ltd effectively discharge its legal

and moral obligations in the management of 459 Little Collins Street, Melbourne.
