| Venomous Snakes | Potentially lethal bites | Areas to be excavated will be beaten ala “Turkey Shoot” as applicable prior to any works being undertaken. Operatives will be briefed on what constitutes a potentially lethal insect. | ||||
| 2 | Loading of Sub-Base, Suitable Fill, and Surface Protection Material | Dust | Poor visibility, respiratory Injuries Dust explosion | An effective Dust suppression programme will be in place prior to the works commencing, and thereafter as necessary to suppress the dust sufficiently. In the event that the dust suppression programme fails operatives will be issued suitable RPE. In the event the dust causes restricted vision, operatives will be removed from the excavation. | ||
| Shovel of wheel loader, load dropping inadvertently | Injuries to persons in area | No person will work within the traversing arc of an excavator or wheel loader | ||||

| Contaminated land / soil | COSHH Related injuries | Staff will be briefed on the potential contaminants their nature, the hazards and how to recognise them. A procedure will be implemented that causes operatives who suspect by sight or smell any such contaminants to be present to report any such suspicion to the competent person present. The competent person on being informed of any contaminate will assume the substance to be hazardous and reassign the workers to a place of safety until the suspected substances have been examined by a competent person specialising in Toxic or harmful substances. | ||||
| Unplanned vehicle movements | Plant on plant incidents. Pedestrian injuries | A strict Plant / Vehicle and operative / pedestrian separation regime will be enforced. Wearing of high visibility vests. | ||||
| 3 | Compaction of Sub-Base, Suitable Fill and Surface Protection Material | Operatives caught in moving parts of machines | People / Plant accidents | Carefully controlled people / vehicle-plant separation regime to be in place. All vehicles etc to be fitted with reversing alarms. Those not necessary to the operation to be excluded from the work area. | ||
| 4 | Concrete pouring | Contact with concrete | Entrapment, suffocation, Chemical burns | Constant supervision. During pouring of concrete mixture, workers to be tethered to a rescue line, while wearing a full body harness. Rescue line to be adequately manned to enable an instantaneous removal from the excavation. Butyl rubber boots and gloves to be worn. COSHH Training to be delivered prior to any concrete pour | ||
