17

Risk assessment Weather conditions Lighting Surfaces Unusually high numbers of workers The effectiveness of existing controls Unexpected movements of workers Special needs for certain groups of workers
18

Slip resistant surfaces How slip and trip hazards in the workplace might be controlled: Improved work layout Using high grip surface coating Hazard warning strips Providing good lighting Reporting defects Housekeeping Roughened non-slip concrete walkways on site High grip grit sheets / mats at entrance to buildings / cabins
19

Slip resistant surfaces Pedestrian routes within work premises: Adequate width Provision of handrails Dimensions of treads and risers Provision of landings Disabled persons Using a lift as an alternative Large or heavy items up or down stairs Appropriate footwear
20

Slip resistant surfaces Pedestrian routes within work premises: Provision of non-slip surfaces Adequate lighting The removal of obstructions
21

Spillage control and drainage A procedure for spillage: Raise the alarm Evacuate all personnel Quickly assess the incident Do not approach the liquid if you do not know what it is Raise first aid treatment Provide a barrier Isolate any ignition sources Keep workers away
22

Spillage control and drainage A procedure for spillage: Internal spills External spills Issue appropriate personal protective equipment Ensure safe disposal of the spilled substance
23

Designated walkways Clearly marked and free of obstruction and maintenance Safety interface between pedestrians and traffic Pedestrians and vehicles can circulate in a safe manner Workplace may be some distance from the ground Approach roads, portable access equipment and support of underground workings must be considered Particular thought should be given to access and egress for emergency vehicles
24

Designated walkways Control of hazards related to floors and gangways Kept clean and free Good drainage Suitable footwear Ramps kept dry Level, even ground Floor load capacities Salting/sanding Steps/corners/fixed obstacles clearly marked Excavations and chambers kept covered
25

Fencing and guarding Suitable and effective measures should be taken to prevent any person falling a distance likely to cause personal injury and any person from being struck by a falling object likely to cause personal injury
Source: HSG76 - Health and safety in retail and wholesale warehouses
26

Use of signs and personal protective equipment Signs must be clearly visible and be easily understood Safety signs should indicate the need to use PPE Hazard signs might be used where excavations are present Suitable footwear is critical to avoid slips or trips or puncture wounds in the workplace On sites where vehicles operate and for streetworks it is essential that workers are able to be seen
27

Information, instruction, training and supervision The employer, through management, should ensure that rules, policies and procedures are followed Certain circumstances may require specific information, instruction and training Employers must provide supervision as necessary Increase the level of supervision on a needs basis
28

Maintenance of a safe workplace Cleaning and housekeeping requirements Access and egress Work environment considerations
29

Maintenance of a safe workplace Cleaning and housekeeping requirements Maintenance of a safe workplace may be achieved through the development of a housekeeping procedure Good housekeeping implies a place for everything and everything in its place Laid down procedures are necessary for preventing the spread of contamination
30

Maintenance of a safe workplace Access and egress Adequate space for easy movement No tripping hazards Handholds or guardrails Emergency provision Neat and tidy storage of tools, plant and equipment Identify storage areas Mark areas to be kept clear Emergency routes Vision panels in doors Emergency provision
31

Maintenance of a safe workplace Work environment considerations Heating Lighting Noise Dust
32

Maintenance of a safe workplace Work environment considerations Heating Workers can be exposed to a varying degree of conditions and resultant temperatures When work in hot environments or in controlled systems is required, it will be necessary for workers to be acclimatised Practical measures and adequate protection must be provided against adverse conditions
33

Maintenance of a safe workplace Work environment considerations Lighting Good general illumination with no glare Regular cleaning/maintenance of lights/windows Local lighting for dangerous processes No flickering from fluorescent tubes Adequate emergency lighting Specially constructed fittings for flammable or explosive atmospheres
34

Maintenance of a safe workplace Work environment considerations Lighting (continued) Outside areas satisfactorily lit for work and access Light coloured wall finishes improving brightness Lighting within an open plan office: Types of task being undertaken Availability of natural light and emergency lighting Effect of office layout and appropriateness of general lighting
35

Maintenance of a safe workplace Work environment considerations Noise Noise can produce a number of types of damage to the ear Noise levels should be assessed and appropriate controls established Noise can cause an environmental nuisance to surrounding areas Controls implemented may include barriers and screens around site boundaries to contain noise produced
36

Maintenance of a safe workplace Work environment considerations Dust Dust is a common hazard with many processes or operations The health hazards associated with dusts can vary but usually result in an attack on the respiratory system on humans and other living creatures
37
Contents of element 1.1 1.2 Movement of people Movement of vehicles
38
Movement of people & vehicles - hazards and control Movement of vehicles
Hazards in vehicle operations

Typical hazards causing loss of control and overturning of vehicles Braking harshly Insecure and unstable loads Driving on uneven or soft ground Manoeuvring with the load elevated Mechanical failure Colliding with kerbs and other obstructions Cornering at speed
39

Typical hazards causing loss of control and overturning of vehicles Possible causes of a dumper truck overturning Overloading or uneven loading of the bucket Cornering at excessive speed Hitting obstructions Driving to close to the edges of embankments/excavations Mechanical defects Inappropriate tyre pressures Driving across slopes
40

Typical hazards causing loss of control and overturning of vehicles Possible causes of a fork lift truck overturning Driving with load elevated Driving too fast Overloading Sudden braking Collisions with buildings or Driving on slopes other vehicles Driving on debris Incorrect choices of fork lift Under-inflated tyres truck type when used for Driving over holes in floor, the wrong application such as drains
41

Collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, or fixed objects
Inadequate lighting Inadequate direction signs Inadequate signs or signals Drivers unfamiliar with site Need to reverse Poor visibility Poor identification of fixed objects Lack of separation of pedestrians and vehicles Lack of safe crossing points Lack of separate entrance / exit
42

Collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, or fixed objects
Pedestrians using doors provided for sole vehicle use Lack of barriers to prevent pedestrians suddenly stepping from an exit/entrance into a vehicles path Poor maintenance of vehicles Excessive speed of vehicles Lack of vehicle management Environmental conditions
43
Control strategies for safe vehicle operations

General site strategies Risk assessment Suitability and sufficiency of traffic routes Management of vehicle movements Environmental considerations Maintenance of vehicles Driver protection and restraint systems Segregating pedestrians and vehicles Measures to be taken when segregation is not practicable Protective measures for people and structures Precautionary measures for reversing vehicles within a workplace Site rules Selection and training of drivers Management systems for assuring driver competence
44

General site strategies Design features of the vehicle intended to minimise the consequences of an overturn Features designed to prevent overturning - the width of the wheelbase - the position of the centre of gravity of the vehicles
45

Risk assessment The employer needs to consider the safe movement of vehicles and their loads This includes the use of: - dumper trucks - lift trucks - delivery vehicles
46

Suitability and sufficiency of traffic routes Clearly marked and signed Adequate lighting Separate routes, designated crossing places, suitable barriers Clear direction signs and marking of storage areas Sharp bends and overhead obstructions should be avoided Consideration to vehicle weight and height restriction on routes
47

Management of vehicle movements Safe operation Responsible person Drivers trained Unauthorised people not allowed to drive Visiting drivers aware of rules Daily check of vehicles Keys secure Save movements Roadways / gangways maintained and lit Separate vehicles and pedestrians Use of horns
48

Management of vehicle movements
Factors that should be taken into account when planning traffic routes for internal transport: Purpose of the routes Types of vehicle using the routes Likely volume of traffic The layout of the area The need for one-way systems Speed limits Marking Crossing points and signs Segregation of vehicles and pedestrians Environment issues
49

Environmental considerations
Adverse weather Overhead clearance Changes in level Road contamination
50

Maintenance of vehicles Pre use checks Maintenance Road worthy
51

Driver protection and restraint systems Rollover Restraint systems / Seatbelts
52

Driver protection and restraint systems Protection from falling materials Suitable protection for the driver Provision of a frame and mesh Enclosed cab Safety helmets only are not sufficient
53

Segregating pedestrians and vehicles
Means of segregation Accidents can be caused where vehicles are unsafely parked as they can be an obstruction and restrict visibility Clear, well-marked and signposted vehicle traffic routes, which avoid steep gradients where possible Speed limits of 10 or 15 mph are usually considered appropriate Transport requires clear routes to be designated Separate gates/doorways should be provided for vehicles entry Reminded of the hazards
54

Measure to be taken when segregation is not practicable Defined routes Good housekeeping One-way systems Audible warnings on vehicles Provision of refuges Training Speed control Supervision Mirrors / cameras Site rules Good lighting Enforcement High visibility clothing
55

Protective measures for people and structures Barriers Markings Signs Warnings on vehicles
56

Measures to prevent accidents when pedestrians work in vehicle manoeuvring areas Segregated systems Maintaining good visibility Signs indicating where vehicles operate Audible warnings on vehicles Establish and enforcement of site rules The provision of refuges The wearing of high-visibility clothing A good standard of housekeeping Training for, and supervision of competency certificates, refresher training, trained banksmen
57

Measures to prevent accidents when pedestrians work in vehicle manoeuvring areas (continued) Provision of parking areas Provision and suitable battery charging or refuelling areas Careful design of traffic routes Maintenance of traffic routes Traffic control
58

Precautionary measures for reversing vehicles within a workplace Vehicles and pedestrians Warning signs Alarms / cameras Space to allow good: - visibility - mirrors - refuges - lighting Site rules Trained signallers Avoiding the need for vehicles to reverse
59

Site rules Important to establish clear and well understood site rules Communicated to drivers by security staff Pedestrians should also know what the site rules are in order to keep themselves safe Site rules for pedestrians might include: - using pedestrian exits/entrances or crossing points - not entering hazardous areas - wearing personal protective equipment in hazardous areas - not walking behind a reversing vehicle
60

Site rules Site rules may clarify that once the site boundary is crossed the worker has priority, this has to be clear The site rules may be re-enforced by the provision of additional signs To clarify a speed limit and the nature of the priority of workers
61

Selection and training of drivers General - normal agility, having full movement of trunk, neck and limbs Vision - good eyesight is critical, as operators are required to have good judgement of space and distance Hearing - the ability to hear instructions and warning signals with each ear is critical
62

Management systems for assuring driver competence The trained operator / driver Testing Refresher training Operator / driver identification
