SITE HAZARDS

Site Plan

Site Entrance / Exit

  • Is vehicle access to site and delivery point safe? Does the driver need to stop on the carriageway to enter the site? Is it safe to park the vehicle at the entrance whilst opening the site gate? Are there any overhanging trees that could damage vehicles or tanks driving in? Is there any Shrubbery that may obstruct vision when entering or exiting the site? Is the access road busy with other traffic? Does the access road have a footpath for pedestrians? Is there risk of collision with pedestrians? Is there sufficient room for manoeuvre into and out of the site? Can U-turns be performed safely without causing damage to the vehicle? Are there any difficult reverse manoeuvres? Any housekeeping issues, e.g. pallets or Skips in the way? Narrow spaces, low pipework etc.?

Manual Handling Hazards, Risks and Controls

  • Manual handling is activity that requires physical effort such as lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, reaching, stretching twisting etc. This might include handling hoses, operating valves, making and breaking connections, opening or fastening lids etc.
