Control Measures

Use forklifts or cranes for unloading. Trained personnel only. Use PPE (gloves,
safety shoes, helmets).

Clear pathways. Use trolleys or lifting aids. Proper manual handling techniques.
Use proper cutting tools. Eye protection (goggles), ear protection (earplugs). Cut in
designated safe areas only.
Use mechanical lifting aids (chain blocks, scaffolding lifts). Team lifting for heavy
sections. Conduct lifting plan and toolbox talk before work.
Use correct tools. Wear gloves. Full body harness when working at heights. Secure
scaffolding or ladders properly.
Wear dust masks. Gloves and long sleeves for skin protection. Work in ventilated
areas.
Only qualified electricians to perform electrical work. Isolate power before working.
Use proper Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures.
Conduct confined space assessment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Supervised entry
with standby person and communication tools.
Secure tools and components properly. Use proper ladders/scaffolds. PPE
mandatory.
Conduct testing at specified pressure only. Keep personnel clear during
pressurization.

Wear gloves, masks, and long sleeves. Cut insulation on stable surfaces.
Use gloves and eye protection. Work in well-ventilated areas. Follow MSDS
instructions.
Only trained scaffolders allowed. Use full body harness. Proper inspection before
use.

Wear dust mask and gloves. Use mechanical cleaning equipment if possible.
Isolate nearby electrical circuits if possible. Use insulated tools. Electrical permit to
work needed.
