NOISE:
Will the work create higher noise levels? Consider the need for hearing protection in the work area.
MANUAL HANDLING:
Consider if the work tasks contain any Manual Handling Risks.
EXCAVATION:
Consider if the work requires an excavation to be dug.
Do you need to check for services prior to excavation?
WORKING AT HEIGHTS:
Consider if personnel are working at height during this task.
Are they trained to perform the task?
SLIP & TRIP HAZARDS:
Consider if any slip / trip hazards are present at the worksite.
Will equipment to be used form a trip hazard?
REFERENCE: Wet surfaces labeled with proper warning sign to avoid slips and trips
[This is an example of how you can use iAuditor to include best practice reference images in your templates to assist with inspections]
SITE SECURITY / EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS:
Prevent unauthorized access to the work site at all times.
Ensure site emergency planning has occurred.
WORKING OUTDOORS:
Consider the ambient conditions / associated hazards.
Consider precautions to prevent exposure to heat/cold.
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT:
Consider how construction traffic will access and egress the workplace in a safe manner.
CUTS AND ABRASION:
Is there a risk of cuts / abrasion? Consider control measures such as task separation or adequacy of PPE
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES:
Will work task involve contact with any Hazardous Substances? Refer to MSDS and consider specialized PPE / precautions.
PLANT AND MACHINERY:
Is the plant work area delineated away from other works?
Operator ticketed/licensed to operate this type of equipment?
FALLING OBJECTS:
Will personnel be working above where others may pass? Will personnel be working below others?
LIFTING:
Consider if work task involves crane lifts.
Ensure a lift study has been conducted.
FIRE / IGNITION SOURCES:
Consider if hot work is being conducted in the work area. Consider containment / testing requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
Is there potential to release pollutants to drain’s / marine environment / waterway’s / ground / atmosphere; Vibration / noise emission beyond the project perimeter; generation of dust or disposal of hazardous waste?
DECONTAMINATION OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Plant, Equipment, and PPE must be decontaminated at the end of each day and or when exposed equipment is to leave the asbestos area
VIBRATION:
Consider the need for vibration monitoring from demolition process, especially when working near heritage type buildings.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE STORAGE / SPILLS PREVENTION:
Consider if any potential spill sources exist in the work area.
Consider the need for bunds, drip trays, spill blankets, absorption etc
WASTE DISPOSAL:
Consider if work task creates wastes prescribed wastes requiring special disposal e.g Asbestos
CUSTOMER AND SURROUNDING PROPERTY:
Consider the potential risk to neighbours’ property Consider potential damage to customer property nearby.
ASBESTOS:
Consider if personnel may be exposed to asbestos during this task? If unsure, check the Asbestos Register/Scope of Works for known sources.
NEARBY WORK:
Consider if any work will be occurring nearby.
Consider if there is any impact of your work on others.
Are there other hazards identified?
