The document outlines control measures for various construction tasks including excavation, concreting, reinforcement, and equipment handling. For each task, potential hazards, risks, and detailed control measures are listed. Control measures include use of personal protective equipment (PPE), substitutes, administrative controls, and engineering controls to mitigate risks from falls, slips, ergonomic strains, electrical hazards, chemical exposures, fires and equipment mishandling. Proper PPE, lockout/tagout procedures, signage, and equipment inspection are emphasized.
