Typical hazards & measures
Unsafe structures
— Conduct a structural integrity inspection before work begins, focusing on scaffolding, ladders, and other temporary structures. Only allow certified personnel to erect scaffolds. Install guardrails, toe boards, and stabilizers to ensure stability. Regularly inspect structures throughout the project.
Chemical burns
— Provide appropriate PPE such as gloves and aprons for handling corrosive materials. Ensure chemicals are clearly labeled and stored in a secure, ventilated area. Train workers on safe handling and provide emergency facilities, such as eye wash stations.
Skin irritation from contact with paints and solvents
— Provide gloves, barrier creams, and washing facilities. Use low-volatile organic compound (VOC) paints where possible. Educate workers on minimizing skin contact and immediately washing off substances.
Electrical hazards
— Regularly inspect and PAT test all electrical equipment. Ensure that Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are used and that cables are managed to avoid tripping hazards. Train workers in the safe use of electrical equipment and prohibit unauthorized modifications.
Contact with hazardous substances
— Conduct a COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) assessment for all materials. Use sealed containers, clearly label chemicals, and store them in ventilated areas. Equip workers with gloves, goggles, and aprons. Provide safety data sheets and first-aid kits on site.
