Such reports should be made using a QGC Hazard Observation (HAZOB)Booklet. The FEOs will then decide the control method most appropriate and delegate this task to theappropriate person. Only licensed Chemcert operators can spray weeds as there are health and safetyrisks associated with the use of weed control chemicals. A list of Chemcert licensed operators can beobtained from the FEO or the field technical assistants.Personnel responsibilities in regards to identification, monitoring and collation of weed and pest speciesare listed in Table 5.Table 5: Identification, Monitoring and Collation Responsibilities for Weed and Pest SpeciesRoleResponsibilityField Environmental Officer or SiteEcologistInspect sites for weeds and pests during peggingpartiesEnsure risk classification is provided in theclearance reportProvide guidance and direction forvehicle/machinery clean-downsReceive identification reports of weeds and pestsand enter into QGC databaseDetermine appropriate management actions afteridentification is madeProvide guidance and direction to QGC staff andcontractors in relation to weed and pestrequirementsConstruction and ProjectSupervisorsChemical Application OperatorsEnsure weed control requirements are communicated tocontractors and enforced.
