  1. Inspections and risk mapping • We can make walk through inspections, or area, task or hazard specific inspections • As we go we need to make notes and drawings to help us make a report • As we do this we need to ask workers about their opinions regarding hazards, health problems or accidents and ideas for improvements • We can organise the investigation and information about risks as follows…..

  2. Physical Hazards • Falls from heights,scaffolds, roofs, ladders, trips and slips • Excavation hazards and confined spaces • Machinery, entrapment, cuts • Transport (forklifts, hoists, cranes) • Electricity • Manual handling and lifting, repetitive work • Noise and vibration

  3. Chemical Hazards • Solvents (paints, laquers, varnishes, strippers, glues) • Pesticides (e.g. timber treatments) • Dust (wood, cement, MMF, silica, gypsum) • Lead and other metal fumes (welding) • Diesel and carbon monoxide • Cement • Asbestos

  4. Biological Hazards • Contaminated water supply • Malaria • Dengue • Weil’s disease (rats) • HIV AIDS • Infectious diseases, such as hepatitis or tuberculosis

  5. Psychosocial hazards • Poor work organisation • Stress, being exposed to risks • Bullying • Work overload: long hours, shift work, fast pace,lack of breaks, productivity pressure, monotonous work • Lack of information and training • No, or poor, participation and consultation

  6. Main OSH observations on site • Housekeeping: order and tidiness • Safety organisation: safety officer, safety rep, safety committee, information and training • Working habits and PPE • Falls protection: scaffolding, roof work, interior shafts: edge protection, guard rails, boarding

  7. Main observations on site • Welfare: water, latrines, clothing, eating and washing facilities • Machinery, equipment and tools • Excavations: shored up, stop blocks • Electricity and lighting
