Typical hazards & measures
Fatigue from long working hours
— Design work schedules that include adequate rest periods and rotate tasks to prevent monotony. Encourage workers to report fatigue and provide training on recognizing its symptoms.
Utility strikes (e.g., gas, electricity)
— Conduct thorough utility surveys before excavation and use detection equipment to locate underground services. Liaise with utility companies for accurate mapping and provide workers with training on recognizing and avoiding utility hazards.
Exposure to moving traffic
— Establish well-marked work zones with barriers and signage to separate workers from traffic. Implement traffic control measures such as speed reductions and flaggers to enhance worker safety.
Vibration exposure
— Use low-vibration tools and limit exposure time. Provide anti-vibration gloves and conduct health surveillance to monitor for symptoms of vibration-related conditions.
Inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE)
— Conduct PPE assessments to determine specific requirements for each task. Provide appropriate PPE such as high-visibility clothing, helmets, gloves, and goggles. Train workers on correct usage and inspect PPE regularly for wear and tear, replacing as necessary.
