Typical hazards & measures
- Manual handling injuries — Train workers in safe lifting and provide trolleys or hoists for heavy items. Always lift in pairs for large objects and rotate tasks to prevent repetitive strain.
- Working near fragile stained glass or monuments — Protect vulnerable glass and stone with coverings before starting work, prohibit leaning ladders or tools against historic features, and position scaffolds with clearance. Provide heritage handling training and document any protective actions taken.
- 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.
- Water leaks and flooding during plumbing work — Shut off main supply before repairs, keep absorbent materials on hand, and monitor affected areas for electrical hazards. Inspect pipes and joints for integrity.
- Falling masonry or roof tiles — Schedule annual inspections of roofs, gutters, and stonework. Use protective barriers when working beneath suspect areas and hire qualified contractors for high-risk repairs.
