Typical hazards & measures
Excavations and post holes
— Mark dig lines; keep spoil set back, trim unstable edges, and use post-hole formers/shoring where ground is weak. Board pedestrian routes, cone/tape exposures, and backfill or cover the same day. Never leave unguarded holes; fit secure covers rated for traffic.
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.
Cement, mortar and wet concrete
— Use long-cuff, chemical-resistant gloves and waterproof trousers/boots; avoid kneeling in wet concrete. Provide clean water/skin wipes; wash promptly after contact. Mix with splash guards; handle bags with care; store lime/cement dry. Keep barrier cream and first aid available.
Adverse weather and low light
— Check forecast; pause in lightning or high winds; provide task-lighting with low glare and shadow control. Use anti-slip footwear, warm/waterproof layers, and sunscreen. Adjust programme to daylight hours; maintain visibility with high-viz and illuminated barriers at dusk.
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.
