1.1 Hazard Assessment
Prior to installing the equipment, the operator must carry out a worksite, pre-job hazard assessment to
identify the safety and environmental needs. This must be done prior to commencing work and prior to
recommencing work after leaving and returning to the worksite. As a minimum, this hazard assessment
should:
•
Identify possible hazards and risks
•
Identify the safety needs of the job
•
Identify the correct procedures, practices and equipment
•
Eliminate unsafe conditions and actions from the worksite
•
Identify the need for personal protective equipment
•
Inspect equipment before use.
Prior to using an LIQ-Gateway, you should check the following:
•
The sheaths of all cables are secured and undamaged
•
Plugs and connectors are properly connected and serviceable.
•
There should also be an ongoing risk assessment during the job.
