COMMENTS: Always bear in mind that the assessment of risk cannot be viewed in isolation. In order to obtain the "full picture of
risk" we need to consider each hazard present as part of a series of assessments. The total level of Risk needs to consider areas such as requirements for System of Work Employed,; Work Equipment in Use; Electrical Safety; Manual Handling; Work at Height; PPE and Protection of Third Parties on site.

Identified Hazards - tick as appropriate Contact With:

a) Moving Machinery Parts b) Falling Objects / Moving Materials c) Moving Vehicles d) Fixed Machinery Electrical a) Shock b) Burns c) Explosion Radiation a) Ultraviolet b) Ionising c) Lasers Fire Explosion Burns Falls from Height Slips Trips and Falls Pressurised Systems Vibration Noise Micro-Organisms Harmful Substances Vermin Dust & Fibre Particles Weather Temperature - Hot & Cold Manually Moving / Handling Materials Lone Working Remote Working Hand Tools Confined Spaces Restricted Access / Egress Crush / Trapping Power Tools Sharp Objects Posture

COMMENTS:
Cable Pulling can involve strenuous Manual Handling activities; where possible Mechanical methods should be used to assist. These must not however include improvised schemes.

Significant Risks Identified:

Falls from Height; Falling Objects; Posture / Manual handling / Pushing / Pulling; Electric Shock / Burns / Electrocution; Cuts from Sharp Objects; Slips, Trips & Falls; Manual Handling; Remote Working; Restricted Access / Egress.

(Name) Work at Height will be planned to ensure fall prevention. Accordingly provision of all Work at Height Equipment will be subject to a Task Specific Risk Assessment. 1 1 1 s smith Subject to a suitable PPE Risk Assessment, eye, hand, head and face protection will be worn at all times when personal injury could result whilst handling cables. If working in occupied premises, areas directly below will be cleared of personnel and warning signs displayed before work begins. Operatives will be trained in Manual Handling techniques and instructed in the precautions for safe work. A Pre-start Survey will be conducted to check route, manpower and equipment needs. Free running cable stands and motorised winders will be utilized when pulling cables through multi-storey buildings and over long distances. Good communications will be maintained at all time. Cable pulls will be smooth and maintained at a reasonable rate to prevent over-stretching, repeated twisting and bending. A Banksman will be positioned at the drum to ensure that over-run does not occur.

Slips, Trips & Falls

Route will be travelled / examined and any foreseeable slip, trip, fall hazards removed or rectified before work commences. Open risers, uneven floor slabs and / or pre-cut access points will be protected to avoid personal injury. Work will be monitored to ensure that additional precautions are taken if edge protection must be removed. Electrical supplies will be isolated in adjacent cables where and whenever possible. Cables will be examined after installation to ensure they remain undamaged.

Electric Shock / Burns / Electrocution
