Dynamic Live Site Audit for Splicers

by Waqas Hashmi, from the Community

This dynamic live site audit checklist helps supervisors and engineers evaluate telecom splicing works on active sites. It covers pre-work checks, PPE, roadwork signage chapter 8, equipment setup and grounding, GDU use, ladder and guarding inspections, safe chamber entry and gas testing, working in chamber controls, cable securing and labeling, housekeeping, and final sign off. Capture photos, note observations, and verify qualifications to maintain safety and compliance on fiber and copper splicing jobs.

Splicing and Cabling Risk Assessment Checklist
This telecom splicing and cabling risk assessment checklist helps field teams identify and control hazards before and during work. It covers site conditions, exposed wiring, access routes, lighting, and PPE readiness. Technicians verify ladder condition, recent inspections, two point pole tie off, non slip feet, and pre climb testing, or confirm MEWP readiness with valid LOLER certification and operator training. The checklist includes COSHH controls such as labeling, fiber waste and sharps disposal, and the use of a gas detection unit prior to confined space entry. Use it to document findings, assign actions, and maintain compliance with safety requirements on cabling and splicing jobs.

Pre Start Risk Assessment - Splicing and Cabling
Use this pre-start risk assessment checklist for telecom splicing and cabling tasks to identify hazards and verify controls before work begins. Record site conditions, environmental risks, unsafe areas, lone working, lighting, first aid, and waste disposal for fiber sharps. Confirm PPE and tools, review RAMS, and assess manual handling. For working at height, capture MEWP details, IPAF and LOLER compliance, ladder checks, fall arrest systems, and pole climbing readiness. Include confined space gas detection and GDU calibration, evidence and photos, and team acknowledgement prior to starting.
