The key takeaways from the risk assessment are to follow proper safety procedures, use appropriate PPE, barricade work areas, inspect tools before use and ensure trained workers are assigned for various activities like lifting, welding etc.

The main risks identified are fall from height during scaffolding work or lifting activities, fire during welding, injury due to improper housekeeping, falling objects damaging fabric panels etc.

Control measures suggested are use of safety harness and handrails for working at height, fire blankets and flash back arresters for welding, proper barricading and signages, inspection of tools, trained workers for various activities and keeping work areas clean.

Personal protective equipment

 Safety Helmet, Safety Shoes, Proper Gloves & Safety Goggles

Information, instruction and training

 All personnel in the team are to be made aware of the safe systems of work.

 Ensure that good house keeping standard is maintained through out.


 Training and experience for personnel to use electrical equipments and vibratory equipments.

Emergency procedures

 Site emergency procedures should make provision for the rescue of individuals from heights.

 First-aid facilities should be available to cope with any significant injuries that may arise from the work.

Monitoring and review

 Work should be monitored by Site Supervisor and erector who are trained to ensure that any additional precautions or equipment required are
provided.

Low
report must be completed.

Aim to reduce risks but costs of prevention may be limited. Undertake a risk assessment of the situation / task and implement the
appropriate actions. Actions should have a timescale and should be monitored. Where the risk involves work in progress undertake
5-12 a risk assessment as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the situation or task. Work should not start until the risk is
Medium reduced to an acceptable level. Considerable resources may have to be allocated. Contact your Manager and Risk Manager by
telephone about the actions that should be taken to reduce the risk/s. incident report must be completed. Incident must be added
to service risk register.

Do not commence the activity until a risk assessment has been completed to ensure the safety of the situation or task. If it is
15-25 not possible to reduce or eliminate the risk even with unlimited resources, work must remain prohibited. Inform your relevant
High Director, your Manager and the Risk Manager immediately by telephone. Incident report must be completed. Incident must be
added to service risk register.
