The Ryde Aquatic Leisure Centre (RALC) is owned and operated by the City of Ryde (Council)
and is the only public aquatic centre/pool in the City of Ryde. The physical work environment had
to be treated as if the Centre was fully operational and no construction work was taking place.
This project required the removal of the existing ACP cladding panels on the wall and their replacement with 3mm Aluminium Vitradual panels due to the fire compliance. These panels are located in the high areas of the building structure.
Factors that led to no incidents included the implementation of the Buddy system/ whereby two workers on the job always worked in pairs. The installation of scaffold gate and lock system and where unmanned, the scaffold gate is locked up to prevent unauthorised entry to the work area and disruption to works in progress.
Again, a control measure that helped mitigate the high incident rates across our industry, but not on this job!
