Typical hazards & measures
Falls from height

Falling objects
— Secure tools and materials on elevated surfaces. Use tool lanyards and netting around scaffolds to catch falling items. Ensure workers and pedestrians below wear hard hats. Restrict access to areas below work zones.
Trip hazards from cables and tools
— Implement cable management systems and provide designated storage areas for tools. Mark pathways clearly and ensure workers maintain clean and organized workspaces. Conduct regular safety inspections to identify and address trip hazards.
Improper disposal of hazardous waste
— Use designated containers for hazardous waste and train workers on proper disposal methods. Ensure compliance with environmental regulations and provide access to waste disposal facilities. Monitor adherence to waste management policies.
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.
