Typical hazards & measures
Silica dust from masonry/gravel boards
— Use water-suppressed saws and on-tool extraction; cut outdoors upwind; designate a controlled area. Provide FFP3 or P3-rated tight-fitting RPE (fit-tested), with clean-shaven policy; damp down debris and bag waste wet. Rotate tasks and keep bystanders clear.
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.
Underground services
— Review utility plans and scan with CAT/Genny; mark service corridors and hand-dig trial holes to confirm depth/route. Keep powered tools above verified levels, use insulated tools near live electric, and stop on warning tape or anomalies to re-survey with a supervisor.
Manual handling of posts and panels
— Plan delivery drops to minimise carry distances; use panel lifters, dollies and team lifts for long or heavy items. Keep loads close to the body, avoid twisting on uneven ground, and rotate tasks. Stage materials along the line to prevent repetitive long carries.
Earth augers and drilling
— Select auger for soil and depth; check clutch, handles and kill-switch. Operate at arm’s length with stable footing; no loose clothing. Keep others clear of the radius, throttle steadily, and stop to remove snagged roots or stones. Vent exhaust; avoid overhead services.
