What are the control measures?
List the work tasks in a logical order.                                                                                                  Identify the hazards and risks that may cause harm to workers or the public.                                       Describe what will be done to control the risk. What will you do to make the activity as safe as possible?
Delivery of bricks                                                                                                                       Workers being struck by powered mobile plant. including delivery vehicle and forklift used for unloading.          Implement workplace traffic management plan and make available to workers:
     * Movement of powered mobile plant.                                                                                                 Workers being struck by vehicles in adjacent road or traffic corridor.                                                 * Exclusion zone for mobile plant to be clearly identified (signage and barricades as per site plan) and controlled during vehicle loading/unloading operations.
    * Work in or adjacent to a road, railway, shipping lane or other traffic corridor that is in use by traffic other than pedestrians.  Vehicles in adjacent road or traffic corridor being struck by falling objects.                                         * Dedicated, trained road traffic controller(s) to direct traffic entering and leaving site and control traffic (pedestrian and vehicle) on adjacent pedestrian footpaths and roadways.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                * Use portable traffic signals and/or temporary safety barriers to direct/control traffic flow as required.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                * Brick delivery vehicle to be unloaded on-site (not from public roadway).
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Place brick pallets adjacent to bricklaying work areas (inside workplace boundaries and clear of workplace traffic routes).
Working at ground level                                                                                                                  Being struck by powered mobile plant.                                                                              Powered mobile plant to travel on planned and controlled workplace traffic routes.
     * Movement of powered mobile plant.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Where powered mobile plant are required to travel outside of planned and controlled routes, a dedicated, trained road traffic controller is to control plant movement.
Working above ground                                                                                                                     Worker falling from height.                                                                                        For bricklaying activity where there is a risk of a person  falling less than 2 metres, use fully decked heavy duty frame trestle scaffolds, with bay lengths of 1.8 metres or less.
    * A risk of a person falling more than 2 metres.                                                                                     Worker coming in contact with and/or receiving electric shock from overhead electric lines.                        For bricklaying activity where there is a risk of a person falling greater than 2 metres, use heavy duty modular scaffolds with brick-guards.
    * Construction work that is carried out on or near energised electrical installations or services.                                   Plant/equipment contacting overhead electric lines.                                                                Scaffolds from which a person can fall more than 4 metres must be constructed and certified by a licensed scaffolder.
