Typical hazards & measures
Hoses, sprinklers and irrigation heads
— Map hose runs along perimeters, bridge crossings with mats, and depressurise before moving. Cap or flag irrigation heads; protect with boards near traffic. Coil spare lengths; never snake hoses through busy walkways. Test coverage off-hours.
Waste and material handling
— Stack pallets flat; band or cut and bin strapping; segregate offcuts and wrap; lift with trolleys where possible; keep waste zones coned and away from routes; arrange timely collection. Inspect for nails/splinters; wear gloves during breakdown.
Public interface and site security
— Barrier tape and signs at all public edges; place stacking and cutting areas away from paths; use a banksman at crossings. Lock small plant, secure chemicals, and remove knives at day-end. Keep an incident log and provide a public contact card.
Noise exposure
— Measure task noise or assume >85 dB for plant; issue SNR-rated ear protection, enforce wear with spot checks, and rotate high-noise tasks. Maintain equipment to reduce noise and plan quiet breaks away from machinery. Keep signage at entry points.
Biological contamination in soil
— Brief on sharps/animal waste; pre-scan beds with rakes and litter pickers; provide puncture-resistant gloves and a sealed sharps box. Wash hands before eating; cover cuts; ensure tetanus status is current. Stop work if human waste is discovered.
