Potential benefits

  • Ensures safe and efficient water and waste management systems, preventing contamination and promoting public health.
  • Improves water conservation and reduces utility costs.
  • Prevents leaks and water damage, minimizing repair costs.
  • Facilitates compliance with building codes and regulations.
  • Supports the integration of modern plumbing technologies.

Typical hazards & measures

  • Noise-induced hearing loss — Conduct noise assessments and provide hearing protection where necessary. Implement engineering controls to reduce noise at the source and enforce hearing conservation programs.
  • Exposure to silica dust — Use water suppression techniques or vacuum extraction systems when cutting or drilling. Provide respiratory protective equipment and limit exposure time by rotating tasks.
  • Scalding from hot water — Install thermostatic mixing valves to regulate water temperature. Ensure workers are trained in handling hot water systems safely. Provide insulated gloves and long-sleeved clothing to reduce exposure risk.
  • Inadequate ventilation — Use mechanical ventilation to ensure a supply of fresh air. Monitor air quality regularly and avoid using hazardous substances in poorly ventilated areas.
  • Exposure to high-pressure steam — Depressurize systems before commencing maintenance. Provide appropriate PPE, including face shields and heat-resistant gloves. Train workers on the hazards of high-pressure systems and how to operate safety valves.
