2. An assessment shall be carried out where personnel are required to man-handle loads.

3. Dual lifting shall be utilized (where necessary) to reduce the strain on one person.

Electric Shock 1. Can occur if conductors have not been isolated and/or if a “Safe System of Work” is not in place. 1. Work shall never be carried out on live equipment.

2. Only qualified and authorized personnel shall work on electrical equipment.

3. A “Safe System of Work” shall be in place and documented (where necessary) for all work under taken.

4. Electrical system shall be tested prior to all work commencement to ensure that they have been de-energized and/or isolated.

2. All sources of fire and/or explosion shall be eliminated and/or adequately controlled.

3. Air sampling shall be implemented to monitor any explosive gases, vapors and/or dusts which may be present.

4. Extraction shall be implemented during the work process to extract any vapors and/or gases which may enter the area while the work is in progress.

Falls of Materials and/or Tools 1. Accidents can occur through items being dropped during the installation process 1. Materials and tools shall be kept secure at all times during the installation process.

2. Barriers shall be erected beneath the installation area to restrict access of other personnel.

3. Alternative access shall be made available if the normal access/egress is obstructed.

Falls of Personnel 1. Accidents can occur if suitable access/ egress is not provided and maintained to the installation area at all times, during the installation process. 1. Safe access/egress shall be maintained to the are a of the installation at all time.

2. Please refer to relevant risk assessment, i.e. working on scaffolding, working off ladders, working off stepladders.

Burns 1. Can occur during the process of electric shock and are nomally very severe. 1. Work shall never be carried out on live equipment.

2. Only qualified and authorized personnel shall work on electrical equipment.

3. A “Safe System of Work” shall be implemented and documented (where necessary)

4. Local testing shall be carried out to ensure that equipment is isolated.

5. Personnel shall ensure that all burns, etc. are treated immediately by a trained first aider.
