1.

M Working with electricity

Broken cables, worn out cables, improper plugs used

Fatality Personal Injury - Burns

Inspection of equipment and accessories prior to work

2.

Use of chemicals

Biological / Physical hazards

Mist or vapour produced from the chemicals used Eye and skin chemical contact

Fast evaporating vapours spaces

Irritation to respiratory track Irritation / allergies to skin. Damage to eyes from direct spray from aerosol or mists falling from above. Evaporating vapours can reach hazardous levels quickly

Proper application of chemicals to avoid inhalation Proper application of chemicals to avoid contact with eyes and skin. Confined space training. Do not spray on to hot surfaces

Check all cables prior to start of work to ensure proper condition Check for no breaks in insulation Do not apply insulation to damaged cables. Replace damaged cables Reeled extensions should be fully extended to its length Ensure appropriate plugs are used Eye protection, Skin protection, PPE Aware of wind / air flow and direction MSDS available Proper illumination, posture Toolbox talks

Fire / Environme ntal damage

Working near sources of ignition Contamination

Personal injury Improper disposal of chemicals

Do not spray on naked flame Dispose used chemicals as per site procedure

Do not expose to temperature over 50 deg C. No smoking during use of chemicals Store chemicals away from sources of ignition and heat and treat as pressurized gas container. Disposal in proper collection points only
