Surveying and Land Measurement Risk Assessment Template

Typical hazards & measures

• Vehicular traffic on-site — Designate specific routes for vehicles and pedestrians, clearly marked with signs and barriers. Implement speed limits and enforce them strictly. Use trained traffic marshals to control vehicle movements. Provide high-visibility clothing to all personnel and ensure drivers are aware of pedestrian zones.
• Exposure to hazardous substances — Identify all hazardous substances on-site and maintain up-to-date Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Implement proper storage solutions, including labeled containers and secure storage areas. Provide PPE such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing. Train employees on safe handling procedures and emergency response actions.
• Proximity to vehicular roads — Install barriers or fencing to separate the site from roadways. Use signage to warn road users of site activities. Provide high-visibility clothing to workers near traffic. Coordinate with local authorities to implement traffic management plans.
• Lone working — Implement a lone worker policy, including regular check-ins and GPS tracking. Equip lone workers with communication devices and personal alarms. Conduct risk assessments to identify tasks unsuitable for lone working. Provide training on safe working practices and emergency procedures.
• Inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE) — Conduct a PPE assessment to identify necessary equipment for each task. Supply and enforce the use of PPE, such as helmets, gloves, safety glasses, and high-visibility clothing. Regularly inspect PPE for wear and tear and replace as needed. Provide training on correct use and storage.
