A guide on how to keep workers safe during noisy street works and projects based in confined tunnels and shafts
Utility workers operate in a challenging and demanding environment, and effective management of health hazards while works take place is paramount.
Here are some of the challenges you need to be mindful of:
- Hazards created during street works, such as noise, dust and vibrations can pose a serious health risk to workers and those nearby
- When a utilities project is based in a confined space, such as inside a shaft or tunnel, it is required by law to put measures in place to protect workers
- Activities such as welding and burning utility supply pipes can create dangerous fumes that can quickly damage a person's health if not controlled.
- During dusty street works the use of power tools to cut, grind, drill the road or prepare a surface can create harmful dusts as well as other hazardous and flammable airborne contaminants.
