Lone working

Temporary stability and wind loading
— Brace posts and panels as installed, use temporary props and fix minimum fixings before release. Monitor gusts; stop lifting broad panels in high winds. Stack materials flat and strapped; secure at day’s end. Check lines and levels before final set.
Noise exposure
— Plan noisy tasks together and limit duration; pick quieter tools; keep distance from others; post hearing protection zone signs. Provide hearing protection meeting required SNR, ensure correct fit, and supervise compliance; schedule breaks in quiet areas.
Vehicle and plant interface
— Create a signed segregation zone for deliveries, with a banksman controlling reversing and pedestrian crossings. Use high-viz, audible alarms and lights; set speed limits; keep the public outside barriers. Schedule drops outside peak times and brief communication signals.
