Electrical Rough-In, Cabling and Conduit Installation Risk Assessment

Product Overview

This risk assessment covers electrical rough-in, cabling and conduit installation, including planning, isolation, access, installation and site readiness. It supports planning by identifying electrical, fall, handling, tool, service-contact and traffic risks and helping to manage controls throughout the work.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

• Plan work using current drawings, permits and service information, and coordinate with other work activities
• Identify isolation points, isolate circuits, test work areas and prevent re-energisation
• Manage ladder, platform, overhead-work and dropped-object risks
• Handle cable, conduit, drums, bundles and fittings while managing repetitive and awkward work
• Use power tools and portable electrical equipment while managing leads, cuts, noise, dust and flying particles
• Plan drilling and penetrations to avoid concealed services and manage debris and vibration
• Carry out cable pulling, rough-in and conduit installation while managing sharp edges, tension and moving reels
• Manage heat, ventilation, access, lighting and existing services in ceiling, roof and restricted spaces
• Coordinate deliveries, mobile plant, vehicles and pedestrian separation near the work area
• Maintain housekeeping, report defects and prepare for shock, fall, fire, smoke and tool-injury responses

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out electrical rough-in, cabling and conduit installation.
