The job hazard analysis
PPE required: Hard hat, Safety glasses, Gloves, Safety boots
1. Sort the waste
What could go wrong
Sharp offcuts, nails, and glass; mixed hazardous waste
How we control it
Separate sharp, hazardous, and general waste. Keep hazardous waste in labelled containers.
2. Carry it out
What could go wrong
Strains; tripping on loose debris; dropped loads
How we control it
Use carts or wheelbarrows. Don't overfill bags. Keep the route clear.
3. Use chutes or hoists
What could go wrong
Falling debris; people below
How we control it
Enclose the chute and barricade the area below. Don't throw waste from height.
4. Fill the skip or bin
What could go wrong
Falls from the skip edge; overloaded containers
How we control it
Use a ramp or door, and don't climb in. Don't fill past the rim.
- Sweep up nails and screws as you go, and use a magnetic sweeper where you can.
When to use it
Use it for daily cleanup and for larger clear-outs, such as after a demolition or a big delivery.
Review it with the crew before the work starts, change anything that doesn't match how you'll do the job, and update it when the method, the equipment, or the site changes.
