Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Plan work areas, access, material placement and site set-up
Manage deliveries, loading areas and cladding material handling
Control work at height, edges, openings and dropped-object risks
Use scaffolds, ladders and EWPs for access
Cut, drill and fix cladding materials
Manage electrical services, temporary power and overhead powerline exposure
Plan work for wind, wet surfaces, heat, sun and poor weather
Coordinate with adjacent trades, mobile plant and members of the public
Manage offcuts, dust, straps, fixings and end-of-shift conditions

Who is this for?

For contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out cladding activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Planning, access and site set-up	Unplanned work areas creating clashes with other trades or occupants Poor access or unstable ground for ladders, scaffolds or EWPs Materials placed in unsuitable locations creating manual handling and fall exposure Inadequate emergency access, rescue arrangements or communication
Deliveries, loading areas and material handling	Struck by moving vehicles, forklifts or loads Crush injuries during unloading or shifting packs Musculoskeletal strain from lifting, carrying or awkward postures Cuts from sharp cladding edges, straps and packaging
Work at height and edge exposure	Falls from roofs, slab edges, penetrations, voids or incomplete structures Falls from ladders, scaffolds or EWPs Dropped tools or materials striking people below Swing or ejection risk when using boom-type EWPs
Scaffold, ladder and EWP use	Collapse, overturning or movement of access equipment Entrapment or crush against structures Use of unsuitable or defective plant Unauthorised or untrained operation
Cutting, drilling and fixing cladding	Lacerations, eye injuries or entanglement from tools and sharp materials Respirable dust, including silica where applicable Noise and vibration exposure Flying particles and tool kickback
Electrical services and overhead powerlines	Electric shock from damaged leads, tools or temporary power Contact with concealed services while fixing or drilling Arcing or electrocution near overhead powerlines Trip hazards from trailing leads
Weather, wind and environmental conditions	Loss of control of large panels in wind Slips on wet surfaces or unstable footing Heat stress, dehydration or sun exposure Reduced visibility during poor weather
Public interface, adjacent trades and dropped objects	Members of the public or other workers entering the work area Dropped panels, tools or fixings striking persons below Clashes with mobile plant, deliveries or other construction activities Poor communication causing unexpected exposure
Waste, housekeeping and end-of-shift condition	Trips, slips and puncture injuries from offcuts, swarf, straps and fixings Dust release during clean-up Manual handling strain when removing waste Unsecured partially completed work becoming unstable after hours
