Typical hazards & measures

  • Overcrowded workspaceLimit the number of participants in each session to ensure everyone has adequate space to work safely. Organize the workspace in zones to allow for different activities without interference.
  • Inappropriate footwearEnforce a closed-toe, non-slip footwear policy to protect feet from sharp objects and heavy items. No sandals or open shoes should be permitted during tool handling activities to ensure full protection.
  • Falling objectsStore heavier items at waist height and lighter items higher up to reduce the risk of falling. Ensure shelves are stable, and conduct regular checks to verify that stored items are secure.
  • Electric toolsAll electric tools must undergo regular PAT testing and inspections. Ensure participants are trained on their proper use, with clear instructions on safe operation and emergency shut-off procedures. Keep cords neatly organized and out of pathways.
  • Faulty toolsRegularly inspect tools for damage or wear. Any faulty tools should be removed from service immediately and labeled for repair or replacement. Ensure that only properly functioning tools are used during workshops.
