Description/Hazard Knocks & Bumps (sharp edges, overlapping objects) Environment that poses risk of injury from knocks / bumps e.g. engine maintenance, working in roof space with overhead pipes.. Extreme weather conditions Working outside so that the Operator is exposed to all of the elements e.g. snow, wind, rain, hot / cold Temperature / humidity / ventilation Thermal environment temperature or humidity such that it is too uncomfortable / unreasonable Restricted / limited space Working in an area where normal actions and movement are not possible l.e. standing, because of cramped conditions e.g. maint on A/C engine, working from man lift. Moving vehicles / equipment e.g. Fork trucks, GPU, A/C etc. (equipment that are moving in the vicinity of pedestrians) Inadequate/inappropriate illumination Work being undertaken requires improved lighting e.g. machine in hangar requires its own light.
