Product Overview

This risk assessment covers planning, conducting and completing non-destructive testing activities across work areas and conditions. It supports planning by identifying risks associated with access, equipment, radiation, substances, manual tasks, surrounding operations and emergency readiness.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Confirm the testing scope, method, work boundaries and site hazards
Prepare access routes, work areas, lighting and housekeeping for testing
Use test equipment, power supplies, leads and accessories safely
Manage radiation-producing testing and radioactive-source exposure areas
Handle penetrants, developers, cleaners, inks, contrast paints and other hazardous substances
Move test units, cables, hoses, access gear and other testing equipment
Coordinate testing around plant, process areas and mobile equipment
Plan work in confined spaces and restricted locations
Manage weather, fatigue, noise, visibility and isolated-work conditions
Pack up equipment and barriers, secure sources and report changed conditions or incidents

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out non-destructive testing activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Planning and scope confirmation	Incorrect NDT method selected for the task or environment Unidentified site hazards including live services, traffic, stored energy, radiation sources, hazardous chemicals or confined spaces Unclear work boundaries leading to exposure of other workers or the public Inadequate competency or supervision for the technique being used
Access, work area and housekeeping	Slips, trips and falls on uneven, wet, oily or obstructed surfaces Poor lighting or restricted access causing collision or missteps Falling from ladders, platforms or elevated work areas while positioning probes, cables or test gear Dropped objects affecting people below
Electrical equipment and power supply	Electric shock or burns from damaged leads, test units, lighting or powered accessories Use of electrical equipment in wet, dusty or otherwise harsh environments Unexpected energisation of nearby plant or contact with exposed energised parts Fire from faulty electrical equipment or overloaded circuits
Radiation-producing NDT and radioactive sources	Exposure to ionising radiation from gamma radiography or X-ray equipment Unauthorised entry into the exposure area Loss, damage or misuse of a sealed source or exposure device Inadequate emergency response during source retrieval or equipment fault
Penetrant, magnetic particle and other hazardous substances	Skin or eye contact with penetrants, developers, cleaners, inks or contrast paints Inhalation of vapours, mists or aerosols in poorly ventilated areas Fire risk from flammable solvents or aerosol products Poor storage or spills causing exposure and slip hazards
Manual handling and equipment movement	Musculoskeletal injury from lifting test units, yokes, generators, source projectors, hoses, cables or access gear Awkward postures while reaching around pipework, vessels or structural members Repetitive movements during scanning and measurement tasks Crush or pinch injuries when positioning heavy items
Interaction with plant, process areas and mobile equipment	Struck-by incidents from vehicles, forklifts, cranes or moving plant Contact with hot surfaces, pressure systems or moving machinery in operating areas Unexpected release of energy, product or pressure from equipment under inspection Distraction of operators or interference with simultaneous operations
Confined spaces and restricted locations	Oxygen-deficient or contaminated atmosphere Restricted movement, poor ventilation and heat stress Difficult rescue in tanks, vessels, pits or similar spaces Additional risks from cables, chemicals, lighting or radiation in a confined space
Environmental conditions and remote or isolated work	Heat, cold, wind, rain or poor visibility affecting worker performance and equipment reliability Fatigue during extended shifts, night work or outage conditions Remote or isolated work delaying assistance in an emergency Noise interfering with communication and warning signals
Completion, pack-up and emergency readiness	Leaving behind barriers, leads, chemicals or equipment creating residual hazards Inadequate confirmation that radiation sources are secured or electrical items are de-energised Failure to report defects, incidents or changed conditions Delayed response to injury, exposure, spill or equipment malfunction
