Very specific guidance. Includes a multitude of case studies. Regarding roofing it considers the redesign of supports, lifting trusses and loading out. Others reflect precise delivery or moving tasks, such as those concerning cement or plaster bags, lead flashing, cabin sections, block pallets and plasterboard. Fitting matters, eg guttering or securing a boiler to an interior wall are also covered, as are common placing and laying operations for bricks, paving blocks, concrete lintels, coping stones and kerbstones.
Transporting risks, eg using a conveyor or material movement over rough ground are listed, as, naturally, are headline hazards of scaffolding, prefabrication of a service distribution network and installation of a plant. On highway construction dangers it encompasses the subjects of bridge, motorway and trunk road signage and transportation of LPG cylinders across carriageways.
