Typical hazards & measures
Chemical exposure (fertiliser, seed coatings, residues)
— Check SDS; decant with scoops, not bare hands; wear nitrile gloves and eye protection; avoid windy broadcast; keep food/water away. Label tubs, keep children/public excluded, and wash skin promptly. Store in locked, dry, ventilated spaces.
Competence, supervision and permits
— Verify operator training/inductions for rotavators, seeders and cutting tools; brief task-specific method statements; supervise new starters; honour site permits (e.g., RPZ, conservation, water use). Record toolbox talks and retain evidence of competence.
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.
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.
Lone working and communications
— Avoid lone work for plant tasks; if unavoidable, use a check-in system with times, location and escalation; ensure phone/radio coverage; provide what3words for sites; keep first-aid kit accessible and train in basic bleed control.
