Planned Activities. Activities and progress planned for the next update period.
Planned Activities i) Continue the provision of alternative offers through the PARTNERS and Realising Opportunities schemes (which include additional indicators of academic potential alongside a reduced conditional offer)
Planned Activities. The Group will continue to carry out its present functions and will increase its skills by implementing the following training: Computer Operation Updating of Electrical and Electronics technology Obtaining DOSHWA approved Certificates to drive and operate Plant and Machinery and for work on construction site (eg Scissor Lift hoists etc). Training in Health and Safety Obtain ‘B’ Class licence.
Planned Activities. To enable the Building Services Local Work Area to better serve its present and future customers, the group will: Recognise the need for a minimum staff level to be present during business hours (0700 - 1600) 10 days every fortnight with the exception of the Christmas to New Year break. A group member will be available to carry out work as required and maintain customer service when others are on RDO, annual leave, early starts. Where work is to be carried out outside of normal working hours for Council Operations, normal penalty rates as per the award will apply, however the option to take ‘time in lieu’ (1 hour for 1 hour) for time worked in excess of the ordinary 8.5 hours per day, may be at the discretion of the individual group member. RDO’s 1 hr = 1 hr to be taken at times which best suit the Group and individual group member’s needs, while always considering the need to provide the best service to the customer. The Local Work Area staff may commence shift at earlier times when carrying out work which could be affected by unsatisfactory weather conditions, lack of access to work site or other factors which the group feels requires an earlier job commencement time to assist in the completion and be in the best interests of the customer.
Planned Activities. To reduce confusion, waste and rework. Visit other LWA’s to explain our services and the appropriate method of communications ie call supervisor direct. Customers to have direct access to Group. (2 x mobile phones). Separate job numbers for unprogrammed works.
Planned Activities. The group will achieve an increase in the level of its skills and competency by the introduction of the Quality Assurance system. The training format will continue to focus on the trade related and safety areas, and expand into areas such as Human resources management and improved communications between staff. Annual staff team activity to promote and encourage team building. Staff to become more involved in the planning of the groups activities and, where the future of the group is concerned, participate more actively in the decision making process.
Planned Activities. The Construction and Maintenance group will receive delegations from other LWA’s for the purpose of exchanging information and improving our understanding of other council services. In return, a representative from Construction and Maintenance will visit each of the other LWA’s in the next 12 months. The responsibility will be shared amongst the group’s members. We will implement improvements to after hours communication for emergencies, etc with the introduction of an improved telecommunication/ paging system. The Group will hold a Local Work Area Meeting during the last pay week of each month. These meeting will be attended by all members of the group including supervisory and management staff.
Planned Activities. Continue existing Agreements and develop the groups ability to undertake its own basic set up surveys, ie. Laser Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx Dual Use Paths.
Planned Activities. To maximise the availability of qualified mechanics the group will stagger rostered days off to provide 10 days coverage per fortnight whilst working 9 day fortnights. To maximise opportunities for undertaking maintenance on construction and maintenance plant, rostered days off will NOT be taken on the construction & maintenance crew’s rostered day off unless specifically approved by the Works Supervisor Mechanics. To maximise maintenance opportunities on waste collection services plant, rostered days off will NOT be taken on Fridays unless specifically approved by the Works Supervisor Mechanics. All above mentioned Agreements will be amended as necessary to accommodate changes in working hours or working days (days off) by Construction and Maintenance and Waste Collection Services Staff. When new operators are assigned to various items of plant (in the Construction and Maintenance and Waste Collection Services local work areas) they will be inducted by Mechanical Services Staff on routine daily inspections and maintenance. Operators will be encouraged not only to undertake daily maintenance but also to monitor and report any deterioration or problems their may be developing with plant and equipment being utilised.
