Recap: All accidents, incidents and dangerous occurrences must be reported immediately to your supervisor or first aider and recorded in the appropriate accident / incident book. You must also know the name of the first aider, the location of the first aid kit, and where incidents are recorded.
Recap:In an emergency, contact the emergency services immediately. The induction states to call 999 and then report to a first aider or responsible person on site.
Recap:If fire is discovered, raise the alarm immediately, leave the building by the nearest safe exit, go to the assembly point, do not use lifts, and do not re-enter the building unless authorised.
Recap:You must know the correct extinguisher for the type of fire. Water must not be used on live electrical fires, and CO₂ is not for ordinary combustible materials such as paper.
Recap:A proper risk assessment starts by identifying hazards, then deciding who may be harmed and how, evaluating the risks and precautions, recording and implementing findings, and reviewing the assessment if anything changes.
Recap:A hazard is the source of potential harm. Risk is the likelihood that somebody will be harmed or suffer ill health from exposure to that hazard.
Recap:The most effective control is elimination — removing the hazard altogether. PPE is the least effective and should not be the first or only control where stronger measures are possible.
Recap:A method statement or safe system of work explains the safe sequence, controls, equipment, and precautions required to complete a task safely. It works alongside the risk assessment, not instead of it.
Recap:The induction identifies high-visibility clothing, hard hat, safety footwear and eye protection as key site PPE. Additional PPE may also be required depending on the task and risk assessment.
Recap:A practical sign of hazardous noise is when you have to raise your voice to speak to someone around 2 metres away. Hearing protection should be worn before entering noisy areas and kept on while in them.
Recap:You must wear hearing protection correctly: put it on before entering noisy areas, do not remove it while in those areas, keep it clean, and never insert earplugs with dirty hands.
Recap:HAVS affects blood vessels, nerves and muscles in the hand, wrist and forearm. Risk can be reduced by using low-vibration tools, maintaining equipment, taking breaks, rotating jobs and following safe work practices.
Recap:Excavation and street works require proper planning and control, including service drawings, cable locating equipment, safe digging methods and a suitable risk assessment before work starts.
Recap:Electrical burns and shocks can be severe. Isolation and safety procedures must be followed before work begins. Defective plugs, sockets and leads must not be used, sockets must not be overloaded, and taped cable joints are not acceptable controls.
Recap:A confined space is large enough for a person to enter and work in, but is not designed for continuous occupancy and may contain serious hazards. Avoid entry where possible. Only trained and authorised people may enter, with the correct controls in place.
Recap:Work at height rules apply wherever there is a risk of a fall that could cause injury, not just on roofs or scaffolds. The work-at-height hierarchy should be considered before the task begins.
Recap:Asbestos exposure can cause serious disease many years later. You must never disturb suspected asbestos without the correct assessment and controls. If work could impact asbestos, stop and consult your line manager before proceeding.
Recap:COSHH is about preventing or adequately controlling exposure to substances that can damage health. Workers must understand hazard symbols, product risks, and the controls required before use.
Recap:PUWER requires work equipment to be suitable for its intended use, maintained in a safe condition, and used by people who have the right information, instruction and training.
Recap:LOLER requires lifting equipment to be properly selected, strong and stable, positioned and installed to reduce risk, and subject to the right examination and control arrangements.
Recap:Defective plugs, sockets and leads are a major cause of electrical accidents. Do not overload sockets, do not use taped cable joints, and switch equipment off before unplugging and cleaning it.
Recap:Anyone attending work or company premises must be fit for work. Reporting under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited.
Recap:All vehicles must be formally checked daily. Daily checks help identify defects before use and reduce the risk of incidents on site or on the road.
