Typical hazards & measures
Inhalation of dust and fumes
— Use dust suppression techniques, such as wet sanding, and install local exhaust ventilation (LEV). Provide workers with properly fitted respiratory protective equipment (RPE). Schedule work in well-ventilated areas and monitor air quality regularly to ensure safe conditions.
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.
Scaffold misplacement
— Train workers on correct scaffold placement and usage. Use spirit levels to ensure scaffolds are level and properly aligned. Install guardrails and toe boards to prevent accidents. Conduct daily checks to ensure proper setup and security.
Vibration from tools
— Use low-vibration tools and maintain them to ensure optimal performance. Limit daily exposure time to vibrating tools and provide anti-vibration gloves. Offer training on proper tool usage and monitor compliance with exposure limits.
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.
