"As far as practicable" Minimize the risk at construction project site
Identify the hazard
Closely inspect the construction workplace itself, including its location, layout, condition and accessibility
the use of ladders, incorrectly erected equipment
unguarded holes, penetrations and voids
unguarded excavations, trenches, shafts and lift wells
unstable structures such as incomplete scaffolding or mobile platforms
skylights and unprotected formwork decks
welding fumes, gases and arcs
the presence of asbestos and asbestos-containing materials
Accessing the risk
The severity of any injury or illness that could occur
The likelihood or chance that someone will suffer an illness or injury
identify which workers are at risk of exposure
check the effectiveness of existing control measures.
Controlling the risks
Eliminating the risk
Minimise the risk by substituting or replacing a hazard or hazardous work practice with a less hazardous one
Substituting a two-part epoxy substance with a water-based acrylic waterproofing system will minimise exposure to a hazardous substance
Substituting an ordinary brick-cutting saw blade with a noise-reduced saw blade will minimise exposure to hazardous noise
Isolation
Minimise the risk by isolating or separating the hazard or hazardous work practice from people
Isolating a mobile plant work zone from workers and/or the public with physical barriers to minimise the risk of contact occurring between a person and the mobile plant
Engineering Controls
Carrying tools from one level to another with a material hoist or craning material will minimise the risk of workers developing a musculoskeletal disorder
Benching, battering or shoring the sides of the excavation will minimise the risk of a person being trapped and prevent the excavation from collapsing
Using safety switches or residual current devices (RCD) to minimise the risk of electric shock
Using PPE
Wide brimmed hats that shade face, head, neck and ears
High visibility reflective clothing or vests
Safety glasses, safety shoes, safety helmet
Reviewing the control measures :
when the control measure is not effective in controlling the risk
If a new relevant hazard or risk is identified
if the results of consultation indicate that a review is necessary
if a health and safety representative requests a review
a change to the workplace itself or any aspect of the work environment
A change to a system of work, a process or a procedure.
