Book your site visit
Pre-start site visits enable us to understand the work scope, and ensure hazards and risk associated with the work, structure, and operating environment are properly understood and controlled.
Pre-start assessments typically include:
-
Site-specific hazard identification: Identification and management of hazards associated with the work scope, structure, environment and surrounding activities.
-
Anchor point assessment: Review of available anchor points and provision of temporary anchor arrangements where required.
-
Debris and dropped-object risk management: Assessment of potential debris risks and implementation of appropriate control measures.
-
Environmental factor assessment: Consideration of weather, process conditions and other site-specific influences on safe delivery.
-
Rescue planning and verification: Confirmation that practical, site-specific rescue arrangements can be developed and implemented.
-
Third-party protection: Measures to protect other personnel, occupants and the public during works.
