Risk Assessment Task: - “Lighting Installation” The following risk assessment has been completed to ensure adequate controls are in place to eliminate or reduce the risk to as low as is reasonably practicable. In considering who may be harmed we have included C&P Calibration Technicians, but for each task, depending on where it takes place, then further consideration should be given to others who may be affected by our activities e.g. other contractors. L = Likelihood HR = Hazard Rating (with NO controls in place). C = Consequence RR = Risk Rating (with controls in Place). HAZARDS L C HR WHO MAY BE HARMED CONTROL MEASURES TO REDUCE THE RISK TO AS LOW AS IS REASONABLY PRACTICABLE L C RR 1. Airborne Dust - Some plants may expose employees to windborne dust. 5 3 15 C&P Employees Safety glasses to be worn on site at all times.

Access and egress to each working area will be by roadways, fixed walkways and platforms at each process plant area. Access and egress to the individual working areas will be from the platform or will be by one of the safe working at height methods described in the 1 5 5
working at height section. For working at height hazard controls please refer to C&P document reference 2.14.1 Working at Height Policy. 3. Adverse Weather Conditions.
