Typical hazards & measures
Underground services
— Review utility plans and scan with CAT/Genny; mark service corridors and hand-dig trial holes to prove depth/route. Keep cultivators/edgers above verified levels, use insulated tools near electric, and stop on warning tape or anomalies for supervisor re-survey.
Low light and poor visibility
— Survey lighting needs; provide 110 V LED task lights to 200 lux on work faces and illuminate access/egress. Fit high-vis PPE, headlamps, and reflective cones; stop high-risk plant moves if glare, shadow or fog obscures sightlines; verify cable routing.
Fuel and refuelling
— Refuel in a ventilated, no-smoking zone with spill kit ready; cool engines first; use approved cans and funnels; wipe spills and bin contaminated rags; store fuel in a locked, bunded area away from ignition sources; label and segregate wastes.
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.
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.
