Stages of the Disciplinary Procedure

remarks

Stage 1-Recorded Oral Warning

If conduct or performance does not meet acceptable standards, the employee will normally
be given a formal ORAL WARNING by a Designated Member. This will give details of the
complaint, the improvement required and the timescale. It will also advise that further action
under the disciplinary procedure will be considered if there is no satisfactory improvement in
conduct/performance.

The oral warning will be confirmed in writing to the employee concerned and a record of
this will be kept on the employee's personnel file. An oral warning remains valid for 6
months.

Stage 2 -First Written Warning

If the offence is a serious one, or if a further offence occurs, a FIRST WRITIEN WARNING will
be given to the employee by a Designated Member. This will give details of the complaint, the
improvement required and the timescale. It will warn that action under Stage 3 will be
considered if there is no satisfactory improvement in conduct/performance and advice of the
right of appeal.

The employee will be informed of the warning in writing and a copy will be held on their
personnel file. A first written warning remains valid for 12 months.

Stage 3 -Final Written Warning

If there is still a failure to improve, and conduct or performance is still unsatisfactory, or if the
misconduct is sufficiently serious to warrant a written warning but insufficiently serious to
justify dismissal (in effect both first and final written warning), a FINAL WRITIEN WARNING will
normally be given to the employee by a Designated Member. This will give details of the
complaint, the improvement required and the timescale. It will warn that dismissal will result
if there is no satisfactory improvement in conduct/performance and will advise of the right of
appeal.

The employee will be informed of the final warning in writing and a copy will be kept on
their personnel file. A final written warning remains valid for 24 months.

Stage 4 -Dismissal

If conduct or performance is still unsatisfactory, and the employee still fails to reach the
prescribed standard, DISMISSAL will normally result. A Designated Member can only take
the decision to dismiss after discussing the case and obtaining approval from the other
Designated Member. The employee will be provided with written reasons for dismissal, the
date on which employment will be terminated, and the right of appeal.

The employee will receive the appropriate period of payment in lieu of notice.

GROSS MISCONDUCT

Where a case of gross misconduct and negligence is suspected, the Company may also
suspend an employee on full pay pending a full investigation of the case. If, following

investigation and after a full disciplinary hearing, the Company is satisfied that gross
misconduct has occurred, the result will normally be summary dismissal without notice or
payment in lieu of notice.
The following list is not exhaustive, but provides examples which are regarded as gross misconduct
and negligence:

Theft, fraud, deliberate falsification of records, reports or expense claims.

Violence, fighting, assault on another person.
Deliberate or reckless damage to property of the Company or of a third party.
Coming to work and/or being at work under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other
substances which could impair an individual's ability.
Negligence which causes or could cause significant loss, damage or injury or other serious
consequences (for example criminal or civil liability or damage to Company reputation).
A serious act of insubordination; refusal/persistent failure to carry out working instructions or
Company rules and procedures.
Discrimination or harassment on the basis of gender, race, sexual orientation and disability.
Disclosure of confidential information. Any action contrary to the Company's policy of
complete compliance with the Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1976 and with any orders made
by the Restrictive Practices Court.
Any involvement whatsoever in the offer, payment, soliciting or receiving of any form of bribe
or inducement, whether monetary or otherwise.
Insolence or abusive language incompatible with the continuance of good efficient working
relationships whether between employees (including managers), with contractors or with
customers.
Failing to report to the Company any medical condition or medication taken which could
impair ability to perform work competently and safely.
Smoking in prohibited area.
Any serious breach of, or failure to follow, Company Health and Safety Policy and procedures
especially the seat belt policy and the speed limit policy.
Non compliance with the Company's IT/computer procedures; defamatory/discriminatory
comments or other offensive material circulated on electronic media within and outside the
company.

Risk management
A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people,
so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent
harm. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a failure to take
reasonable control measures. Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect your business too if
output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase or you have to go to court. You are
legally required to assess the risks in your workplace so that you put in place a plan to control the
risks.
Fametech establishes, implements, and maintains procedures for ongoing identification of HSE
hazards, assessment of risks, and determination and implementation of necessary controls.
1. HSE risk management processes are applied to activities that Fametech controls or can
influence at both the broader business level and at the level of specific operational activities.
2. HSE hazard identification and risk assessment, including development and implementation of
applicable controls, is completed by each line of business within Fametech (strategic
assessments), and for operational activities (operational assessments). This includes

assessment, prioritization and management, as appropriate, of the nature, scale and

potential HSE impacts of activities.
3.

Fametechs methods for HSE hazard identification and risk assessment:

is proactive;
provide the identification, prioritization, assessment, and documentation of risks; and
Determines the controls appropriate to manage assessed risks.

4. The HSE hazard identification and risk assessment process and identification and
implementation of suitable controls, involve people with relevant competence, including
employees, contractors and other stakeholders as appropriate.
5. Risk management decisions are documented and the implementation of resulting actions
tracked. Implemented risk controls are reviewed to ensure that the:
risk has been reduced to an acceptable level;
controls have not introduced new, unintended hazards; and
Controls are effective in achieving objectives.
Risk assessment is an important step in protecting your workers and your business, as well as
complying with the law. It helps you focus on the risks that really matter in your workplace the
ones with the potential to cause real harm. In many instances, straightforward measures can readily
control risks, for example ensuring spillages are cleaned up promptly so people do not slip, or
cupboard drawers are kept closed to ensure people do not trip. For most, that means simple, cheap
and effective measures to ensure your most valuable asset your workforce is protected. The law
does not expect you to eliminate all risk, but you are required to protect people as far as reasonably
practicable. This document tells us how to achieve that with a minimum of fuss. This is not the only
way to do a risk assessment, there are other methods that work well, particularly for more complex
risks and circumstances. However, we believe this method is the most straightforward for most
organizations.

Record your findings and implement them
Review your assessment and update if necessary

Accountability& leadership
Throughout Fametech, accountabilities, roles, responsibilities and authorities relating to HSE are
clearly defined, documented, communicated and understood.

The MD of Fametech is ultimately responsible for the HSE performance of the business,
including the effective implementation of HSE policy.

At every level of the organization, line managers are responsible for implementing and
monitoring the HSE Management System.

The role of Level 1 Managers includes responsibilities as Officers for their respective areas.

Those working for Fametech are responsible for the HSE implications of their own actions, and
have a duty to carry out their work in a manner which does not create a risk to themselves,
others, or the environment.

HSE risks are assessed and managed where there are changes to organizational structure
and roles and responsibilities, including temporary assignments.

Personal HSE objectives are set as a component of the performance review process.

Anyone has the right and the responsibility to stop work or refuse to work in situations that
may cause HSE harm, and bring these situations to the attention of those at imminent risk
and to the attention of management.

Monitoring and measuring

Monitoring programs are established and maintained to measure aspects of our activities that may
impact HSE.

Fametech establishes implements and maintains procedures to monitor and measure HSE
performance on a planned basis. These procedures provide:

both qualitative and quantitative measures appropriate to the needs of Fametech;

monitoring of the effectiveness of HSE controls; and
The extent to which Hydro Tasmanias HSE objectives are achieved.

2. The monitoring and measuring programs to be implemented are risk-assessed to determine

whether new risks to Fametech will be introduced as a result of their implementation. Where
risks are identified, appropriate control actions are incorporated into the monitoring and
measuring programs.
3. Measures are both reactive and proactive, with the primary focus on proactive measures, in
order to drive HSE performance improvement and injury and/or environmental impact
reduction.
4. Systems are in place to identify report, respond to and manage non-conformances and
improvement opportunities.
5. Systems are established to ensure the appropriate reporting of HSE performance to relevant
authorities and other stakeholders as required by legislation or other commitments.
6. Where equipment is required to monitor or measure HSE performance, Fametech establishes
and maintains procedures for the checking, calibration and maintenance of such equipment.
Records of checking, calibration and maintenance activities and results are retained.

Accident/incident Reporting and Investigation

Periodic Audits and Inspections

HSE systems, including plans, are monitored and evaluated to identify trends, measure progress,
assess conformance and drive continual improvement.
1. Audits provide a formal method of assessing our conformance with the HSE Management System
and plans, and compliance with legal and other requirements, measured against Fametechs
objectives and key performance measures.
2. Audits are conducted with appropriate objectivity and impartiality. Auditors hold the required
competency to lead or participate in audits.
3. Procedures are in place to define the process to plan and conduct HSE audits and evaluate HSE
performance. This process gives consideration to the level of HSE risk, the identification of nonconformances, hazards, compliance with legal and other requirements, and previous audit and
inspection results.
4. Audit plans are developed and prioritized on risk. Every element of the HSE Management System
is audited at least once over a three-year period.
5. Procedures are in place to identify report, respond to, and manage non-conformances and
improvement opportunities.
6. Non-conformances are investigated, then remedial, corrective, and/or preventive actions
implemented and their effectiveness reviewed.
7. Audits recognize good performance where appropriate.
Once appropriate initial responses have been taken, responsible managers issue notifications and
initiate investigation of non-conformances.

The audit process is based on use of a checklist. The checklist describes a set of conditions which, as
a minimum, must be met for a worksite to be considered safe. The checklists are updated
periodically to reflect regulatory or policy changes. The current internal audit frequency is as follows:

Audit Type

Frequency

Biological Safety - Category B

Annual

Chemical Safety - Category C

Annual

Controlled Substances Safety - Category CS

Annual

Fire and Life Safety - Category F

Annual

General Overview - Category G

Quarterly

Listed Carcinogens Safety Audit

Radiation Safety - Category R

Quarterly

Radiation Machines - Category RM

Annual

When performing an audit, the Environment, Health and Safety Specialist will schedule a site visit,
during which he/she will meet with the person responsible for that area. The EHS Specialist will work
with that person to identify unrecognized hazards and make recommendations for mitigating the
hazards. Following the site visit, the EHS Specialist will issue a report which identifies any significant
violations found. Violations require that the responsible person take immediate action to correct the
hazard, and report back to OEH&S on the action taken. Failure to correct the hazard or to respond to
OEH&S can result in punitive action by the appropriate safety officer or safety committee.
In addition to the regularly scheduled audits, audits can be performed at the request of any
employee. Should you feel that a hazard exists in your workplace or that your workplace has not
been regularly audited, please contact your Environment, Health and Safety Specialist.
External audits are performed by auditor which hired by company from outside staff and not a
worker of company. Sometimes legal operators and client companies acts as external auditors

Management review
The overall effectiveness of the HSE Management System is assessed by Fametech to ensure that its
suitability, adequacy and effectiveness continue to meet our ongoing HSE requirements.
1. There is an annual or event-based management review for the HSE Management System. These
reviews are conducted by the Executive Leadership Team to determine the continuing adequacy,
suitability and effectiveness of the system. This includes review of audit results, incident reports,
performance reports, and relevant input from stakeholders, including annual staff survey results.

2. The review establishes performance against objectives and associated measures, and establishes
objectives and targets for the next year.
3. The review is documented. This includes observations, conclusions, recommendations, actions
and follow-up requirements. An action register is used to manage the review outputs and to assign
management responsibility.
4. Findings from the review are used to set Fametechs HSE objectives to drive continual
improvement.
5. A monthly report of the HSE Management System encompasses a summary, including:
A. injury trend analysis;
B. high potential HSE incidents;
c. HSE audit findings;
D. non-conformance reports; and
E. awards and achievements.
This report is sent to and discussed at the executive level.
6. Information gathered from non-conformance and incident investigation is analyzed to identify
lessons and monitor trends. This information is reviewed in order to improve elements, systems and
practices. Learnings are shared across Hydro Tasmania, and with external stakeholders as
appropriate.
7. Relevant messages from reviews and reports are made available for communication throughout
the business.
