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.

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
This pre-start risk assessment template guides field teams through essential checks before any splicing work. Confirm site induction and competency, ensure correct PPE, and identify high-risk activities such as asbestos, work at heights, confined spaces, gas and electrical hazards, and manual handling. Verify barriers, signage, fire exits, and welfare facilities. Assess risks linked to dust, vibration, fumes, and conflicts with other trades. Capture H&S concerns and team signatures to document that the assessment was completed before work begins.
