Product Overview

This risk assessment covers line marking activities, including site preparation, traffic interaction, paint application, equipment use and clean-up. It supports planning and risk management by identifying chemical, plant, traffic, fire, environmental and manual-handling hazards.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Plan the work and assess site conditions before starting
Set up traffic management and exclusion zones
Deliver, handle and store paints, thinners and equipment
Prepare surfaces and maintain housekeeping
Operate line marking plant and spray equipment
Apply coatings while managing vapours, mist and overspray
Control ignition sources and flammable vapours
Manage electrical safety and nearby services
Address outdoor conditions, fatigue and sun exposure
Complete curing, clean-up and waste disposal activities

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out line marking activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Pre-start planning and site assessment	Vehicle and pedestrian interaction in active work areas Poor visibility, weather or lighting affecting line marking quality and safety Unexpected site conditions such as uneven ground, drains, obstructions or contaminated surfaces Work starting without current SDS, permits, traffic controls or emergency arrangements
Traffic management and exclusion zones	Workers struck by moving vehicles, bicycles or mobile plant Members of the public entering wet paint or active marking areas Reversing vehicles entering the work zone Confusion caused by inadequate signs, cones or barriers
Delivery, handling and storage of paints, thinners and equipment	Manual handling injuries from lifting tins, hoses, machines and templates Chemical spills during transport or decanting Incorrect storage causing leaks, unauthorised access or product mix-up Exposure to hazardous chemicals from damaged containers
Surface preparation and housekeeping	Dust, debris or contaminants affecting adhesion and exposing workers to airborne particles Slips, trips and falls from hoses, leads, overspray, litter or uneven surfaces Noise from blowers, compressors or preparation tools Flying particles contacting eyes or skin
Operation of line marking plant and spray equipment	Injection injury, hose failure or uncontrolled release from pressurised spray equipment Entanglement or contact with moving parts of plant Unexpected plant movement or roll-away Poorly maintained equipment causing leaks, faults or loss of control
Spray application and airborne exposure	Inhalation of vapours, mist or aerosols from paints, solvents and additives Skin or eye contact with hazardous chemicals Overspray affecting nearby workers, public areas, vehicles or adjacent work Exposure to higher-risk constituents in some coatings or additives
Fire, explosion and ignition control	Ignition of flammable vapours from paints, thinners or fuel Static discharge or electrical sources igniting vapours Hot surfaces, smoking or incompatible equipment causing fire Burns, smoke exposure and rapid fire spread in enclosed or semi-enclosed areas
Electrical safety and nearby services	Electric shock from damaged leads, chargers, compressors or powered plant Ignition risk where electrical equipment is used around flammable atmospheres Contact with overhead or underground services when positioning plant or support vehicles Unsafe temporary power arrangements in outdoor conditions
Environmental conditions, fatigue and outdoor exposure	Heat stress, dehydration and fatigue during extended outdoor work Reduced concentration leading to errors around traffic or plant Sun exposure causing burns or heat illness Wind carrying overspray or dust into adjacent areas
Completion, curing, clean-up and waste disposal	Exposure during cleaning of spray equipment, nozzles and containers Residual slip, trip or contact hazards from wet paint and waste materials Environmental contamination from leftover paint, solvent or washout Unauthorised access to uncured markings or stored waste
