Control Measures The hazards (problems) above relate to the control measures (solutions) below. Implementing these measures will reduce the risk. 1
Cleaning up road areas with regulated street sweepers, monitoring roads, incorporating wheel washes, avoid vehicles driving over mud and lay down site roads/gravel.
2
Use of sack trays or trolleys, manual handling guidance posters + booklets, speaking with workers, implement manual handling operations regulations. Designing out unnecessary heavy materials.
3
Segregating people and site roads with fences, high visibility attire, competent drivers with correct qualifications, experience and training, warnings about heavy movement areas. Ensuring loads do not obscure driver vision. Vehicle inspection and maintenance.
4
Maintain good housekeeping, planning deliveries to avoid material build up, designating areas for waste collection, providing skips and bins, running lighting cables at high level, treating slippery/wet areas.
5
Avoid work at height where it reasonably practicable to do so, double guard-rails and toeboards, safety nets, ensuring scaffolding stability, safety harnesses.

12-25
Further controls may be needed .e.g. better equipment, strict supervision of task, additional training Task must not proceed. Reassess the risks for all hazards and introduce better control measures.
