5 . GENERAL EXEMPTIONS

A General Exemption may be issued for a Worksite, exempting all Workers working
within that Worksite, from holding a TAP.

A General Exemption can only be issued under the Authority of the General Manager
Network & Infrastructure or delegate.

A General Exemption can be issued when the Worksite:
 can be completely separated by a fence that will prevent Workers accessing the
Danger Zone; or
 is safely separated from the Rail Corridor.

NOTE
The type of fencing will be dependent on a risk assessment for the work.

When a General Exemption is issued:
 in addition to any other induction or briefing, all Workers must be given a safety brief
outlining:
o the limits of the General Exemption; and
o the access and egress points of the exempted Worksite;
 a Permanent Record of the safety briefing must be maintained; and
 a copy must be readily available for inspection.
