There are two main hazard areas that service
technicians may encounter on a day-to-day
basis. They are: working within close proximity
to the public and personal safety. Before
starting work, review these hazards by
completing the following checklist:
Working near the Public
Keeping the public out:
The following techniques reduce the risk of
injury to third parties (shoppers, store
employees, etc.):
Cordon off all work areas with cones,
caution tape, warning signs and/or barricades.
Maintain a work area of at least ve feet from
the public. Is a second person required to
prevent the public from entering the work area
when the work area cannot be adequately
cordoned off?
hazardous materials
Can the public be exposed to any chemicals,
refrigerants or fumes? If yes, can steps be taken
to eliminate or reduce the risk of exposure?
to guard against accidental release of refrig-
erants, make sure the work area is adequately
cordoned off (instead of posting a wet floor
sign, use caution tape to prevent the public
from entering the area).
Are wet oors going to create a slip hazard for
pedestrians? If yes, be sure to post wet floor
signs and establish a schedule for clean up as
soon as the work is complete.
electrical hazards
Are all live electrical hazards protected from
public access; i.e., de-energized/locked out or
cordoned off? Is proper signage in place?
Do light bulbs need to be replaced: If yes, will
high work be conducted from a ladder or a
scissor lift? Make sure the work area is
cordoned off as shown below.
Personal safety
Over 90% of accidents are due to human error
or from complacency about the job. This
checklist is provided to remind you of the
potentially hazardous conditions at the jobsite.
WorKing at height
Will you be working more than six feet off the
ground? If yes, have you received appropriate
training (i.e., ladder, scissor lifts and personal
fall-arrest systems)?
Do you have the appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE) for working at
height (safety harness/lanyard)?
Will you be working on roofs with unprotected
edges? If yes, make sure actions are taken to
prevent a fall (i.e., identication of adequate
anchor points for safety harnesses).
confined space WorK
Will you be working in any conned spaces? If
yes, have you received appropriate training?
A conned space has limited means of entry/
egress, is not designed for human occupancy,
and is large enough for bodily entry.
Is permit-required conned space entry
required? If yes, have appropriate steps been
taken for safe entry, such as permit issuance.
If in doubt, DO NOT ENTER and inform the
client.
