Product Overview

This risk assessment covers mobilisation, access, work near water, marine plant, underwater tasks and emergency arrangements for marine construction. It supports planning for changing conditions, work interfaces and hazards affecting people, vessels and structures.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Plan marine work, mobilisation and interfaces with vessels, contractors and public access
Access marine structures, pontoons and vessels
Work over or near water and prepare for fall-overboard risks
Operate around marine plant, cranes and suspended loads
Complete excavation, piling, drilling, seabed and structural work
Use electrical equipment and temporary power in marine conditions
Handle marine gear, hoses, formwork, chains and materials
Use or manage fuels, chemicals and marine contaminants
Carry out diving, below-water inspection and underwater tasks
Manage weather changes, evacuation and emergency response

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out marine construction activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Marine work planning and mobilisation	Unclear scope and changing marine conditions leading to uncontrolled work Interface with other contractors, vessel traffic or public access Workers unfamiliar with site rules, marine hazards or emergency arrangements Weather, tide, current and swell affecting stability and access
Access to marine structures, pontoons and vessels	Slips, trips and falls on wet, uneven or moving surfaces Falls into water during boarding, disembarking or transferring loads Pinch points between vessel, pontoon, piles and fixed structures Unauthorised access into active marine work areas
Working over or near water	Drowning after a fall overboard Cold shock, entanglement or inability to self-rescue Delayed rescue due to distance, current or poor communications Fatigue and reduced judgement during prolonged marine exposure
Marine plant, cranes and suspended loads	Struck by moving plant, crane booms or suspended loads Load shift due to vessel movement, wind or unstable footing Mechanical failure, dropped objects or line-of-fire exposure Collision between plant, structures, vessels or workers
Excavation, piling, drilling and seabed or structural works	Collapse, instability or unexpected movement of structures or temporary works Contact with buried or hidden services, anchors, lines or utilities Flying debris, noise, vibration and dust or fumes from equipment Workers struck by rotating, reciprocating or pressurised equipment
Electrical equipment and temporary power in marine environments	Electric shock from damaged leads, portable tools or temporary supplies Increased conductivity from water, salt, mud and damaged insulation Unauthorised access to energised equipment or switchboards Fire, arc flash or equipment failure
Hazardous manual tasks and materials handling	Strains, sprains and crush injuries from handling marine gear, hoses, formwork, chains or materials Awkward postures on unstable, narrow or uneven work areas Sudden load movement due to vessel motion or wave action Hand injuries from pinch points and sharp edges
Hazardous chemicals, fuels and marine contaminants	Exposure to fuels, oils, solvents, cement products, coatings or exhaust fumes Spills creating fire, environmental and slip hazards Skin, eye or respiratory irritation from splash, mist or vapour Poor ventilation in enclosed or low-lying spaces
Diving, inspection below water and underwater tasks	Drowning, entrapment, loss of air supply or separation from support team Poor visibility, current, surge and underwater obstructions Inadequate supervision or communication during dive operations Interaction with plant, propellers, lines or simultaneous works
Weather, emergency response and evacuation	Rapid weather change, lightning, high wind or rough sea state Person overboard, medical event, fire or plant incident Delayed evacuation from isolated marine work areas Communication failure during an emergency
