Typical hazards & measures
Exposure to lead-based paints
— Test surfaces for lead before commencing work. If lead is present, follow lead-safe practices such as wet sanding and containment. Provide PPE and ensure hygiene facilities for handwashing. Dispose of lead-containing waste according to regulations.
Heat stress
— Plan work schedules to avoid the hottest part of the day. Provide shaded rest areas and ensure a constant supply of drinking water. Train workers to recognize symptoms of heat stress and implement regular breaks during hot weather.
Inadequate personal protective equipment
— Conduct a PPE assessment to identify necessary equipment for each task (e.g., gloves, goggles, respirators). Provide workers with properly fitted, high-quality PPE and train them on correct usage. Monitor compliance and replace damaged or worn PPE immediately.
Inadequate first aid
— Ensure a sufficient number of trained first aiders are available on-site. Provide fully stocked first-aid kits, including items specific to painting hazards such as eye wash solutions. Display emergency contact numbers and first-aid procedures prominently. Conduct regular first-aid drills to ensure preparedness.
Scaffold collapse
— Ensure scaffolds are erected by certified personnel and inspected regularly. Do not overload scaffolding, and use tie-ins and stabilizers. Provide guardrails, toe boards, and proper access ladders for worker safety.
