Cambrilea Site Specific Job Safety Analysis and Spray Plan

• Carry out the collection of data, records of previous experience, and any available risk assessments relevant to the work under analysis. Evaluate the requirements linked to the work in hand. Appoint the personnel who will take part in the work. Invite these persons to a pre-start meeting and ensure all hazards have been identified, the correct PPE is worn, communication methods have been established, sensitive areas and weather conditions identified, and any other pre-checks completed. Cambrilea shall identify potential hazards to personnel, the environment or material assets linked to each task and make an assessment of the potential impact of identified hazards and their probability of occurrence based on the group's experience and best judgement. The risk matrix may be of some assistance here.
