Typical hazards & measures
- Collapse of temporary structures — Only use properly rated scaffolding, barriers, or platforms. Inspect before use, ensure level ground, and dismantle promptly after the work is complete.
- Blocked or leaking gutters — Clear gutters seasonally using extendable tools, ensure downpipes discharge safely, and check water flow during heavy rain. Use safety harnesses if roof access is unavoidable.
- Falls from roofs or elevated areas — Prohibit untrained personnel from accessing roofs, use harnesses and anchor points, and employ edge protection where possible. Record all high-level work in the log.
- Falls from ladders and scaffolding — Only trained adults may use ladders or scaffolding, which must be inspected before use. Always have a second person present, maintain three points of contact, and avoid working in high winds or poor lighting.
- Vehicle access for maintenance deliveries and contractors — Designate loading zones away from pedestrian entrances, restrict vehicle times to quiet periods, and use banksmen for reversing. Keep gates locked outside work hours and maintain clear signage for drivers. Inspect surfaces to prevent damage from heavy loads.
