Hazard and Materials Identification Form (Construction)

1) Draw diagrams/sketches of your planned installation showing how you think it will be constructed

2) create a simple timeline showing the order in which things will be done

3) itemise tools and materials needed

Identify all potential hazards in the construction process and identify risks, and state what you are doing to avoid them.

This will be used to complete a Health and Safety Form later.

Diagram(s)/sketches – at least two side views (90 degrees apart) needed with indicative measurements. Please also indicate any particular environmental requirements (low light level etc).

Black lines – proposed construction.

Blue lines – proposed movement through space.

Proposed layout of internal space once constructed.

Risk or Hazard

Management/mitigation strategy

1

Usage of power tools

Obtain required training beforehand and ensure supervision if needed

2

Public working environment

Remain aware of the movements of others within the workspace, time jobs to take place during minimal times of footfall

3

Electronic equipment (e.g. Projector)

Ensure you are aware beforehand of device workings and/or seek supervision of experienced technician

4

Trip hazards due to materials

Remain aware of the changing work environment, paying special attention to the movement of other groups and their materials alongside our own.

5

Usage of hand tools

Obtain required training beforehand and ensure supervision if needed.

6

Working at height

Use correct equipment such as ladders or footstools, not improvised equipment such as chairs or tables to work at height. Ensure the correct usage of this equipment through training and have secondary support from a fellow team member.

7

Working in enclosed spaces

Remain aware of your immediate physical environment and the placement of items. When space is to be enclosed, if construction work is still underway, ensure usage of additional light sources.
