Template: Risk assessment before a stucco task
Think through safety and work environment before you start
Most injuries on a building site can be prevented if you think before you start. Use this template as a quick risk assessment you can run through before starting a new plastering job.
§Work at height
- 01Is the scaffold or ladder set up correctly and secured?
- 02Do you have the necessary certificates for the scaffolding?
- 03Can you work independently, for example alone in a citizen's home?
§PLACEHOLDER_28
- 01How heavy are the casts, and can you lift them safely?
- 02Are there aids for the heavy lifting?
- 03Can you get help from a colleague with the biggest topics?
§Dust, chemistry and indoor climate
- 01Does the task create dust and do you have respiratory protection and exhaust?
- 02Are you using products with epoxy or isocyanates — and do you have a certificate?
- 03Is there proper ventilation in the room?
§Finally
Take the two minutes it takes to go through the list. A quick risk assessment is a small investment that can save you from an injury that follows you for the rest of your life.
