Typical hazards & measures
Weather exposure (heat, cold, UV, wind)
— Schedule heavy tasks early/late in heat; enforce shade, SPF 30+, and hydration plan; add warm layers and breaks in cold/wet; secure rolls and geotextiles in wind. Stop work for lightning or extreme gusts; maintain a simple weather trigger table.
Dust and bioaerosols from soil
— Dampen topsoil lightly before cultivation; position operators upwind; wear FFP2/FFP3 when dust visible; avoid dry brushing. Store seed/soil under cover, and clean down with damp methods. Stop if dust clouds persist and review task method.
Hand tools and knives
— Issue fixed-blade turf knives with sheaths and cut-resistant gloves; brief safe cutting stance away from body; designate blade-change area with sharps container. Keep tools sharp, accounted for, and stored when not in use. Prohibit makeshift blades.
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.
Moving vehicles and deliveries
— Create a simple traffic plan: delivery window, banksman, one-way flow, 3–5 m pedestrian exclusion around plant. Use chocks, park-brakes and engine-off during unloading; never ride the vehicle. Establish a drop zone clear of overheads and public.
