  • NOISE:<br>Will the work create higher noise levels? Consider the need for hearing protection in the work area.

  • MANUAL HANDLING:<br>Consider if the work tasks contain any Manual Handling Risks.

  • EXCAVATION:<br>Consider if the work requires an excavation to be dug.<br>Do you need to check for services prior to excavation?

  • WORKING AT HEIGHTS:<br>Consider if personnel are working at height during this task. <br>Are they trained to perform the task?

  • SLIP & TRIP HAZARDS:<br>Consider if any slip / trip hazards are present at the worksite.<br>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]
