YOUR SAFETY MATTERS
Fiji Ports’ Occupational, Health and Safety Requirements
YOUR SAFETY MATTERS
From the moment you enter any of the Ports managed by Fiji Ports, you are required to comply with the occupational, health and safety rules designed to ensure you and other port users remain safe and injury free. Non-compliance will result in your access to the Port / Port User License being cancelled.
Port Site Induction
The Port Site Induction must be completed by everyone entering the Port. The Port Site Induction is not a training tool and explaining the rules and carrying out a site familiarity visit is up to the company who is engaging the Port user to make sure they are competent to be on site. Click here for Port Site Induction.
Port Operational Areas
Your Company/Manager must provide you with the required information regarding safe entry and exit of port operational areas by way of a site visit with a competent and qualified Company operator.
When you are working in a shared area with many different users and companies such as the Port, you have a duty to cooperate, co-ordinate and consult with other companies and users in the shared work area to effectively manage health and safety risk.
You must not enter another company’s work area without first talking to the relevant company representative on the Port (eg Supervisor/Foreman).
Smoking, Drug & Alcohol-Free Site
All fires, emergencies, accidents, oil spills, chemical leaks, hazardous situations, vandalism or damage must be immediately reported to Fiji Ports’ Customer Service Centre on (+679) 331 2700. Customer Service Centre has procedures in place to notify the appropriate emergency service and to assist in providing a speedy response to any emergency. Customer Service Centre will arrange for Port Security to provide an escort for emergency services to the site if needed.
Evacuation Procedures
Make sure you know the evacuation procedure of the workplace or operation you are working in or visiting. Note the evacuation assembly points nearest to where you are working or visiting. Make sure you know where to evacuate the Port via the nearest exit gate.
Contractors
All contractors working at the Port must complete the Port Site Induction before entry to the worksite is permitted. Contractors must also complete any other additional inductions the organisation or company they are working for may require. It is the responsibility of every company and operation on the Port to ensure that the contractors they engage are trained, competent and qualified in their particular field of work.
