Pre-Start Risk Assessment - Splicing

by Claudio Goncalves, from the Community

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.

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.

V4 Pre-Start Risk Assessment Checklist
This V4 Pre-Start Risk Assessment Checklist helps teams identify site- and task-specific hazards before work begins and document the control measures required to reduce risk. It covers common risks such as electrical work, manual handling, working at height, battery work, slips, trips and falls, dust, fire, asbestos, sharp edges, power tools, confined spaces, noise, temperature extremes, and nearby contractors. The template prompts you to record hazards, select or define controls, hold a pre-start briefing, and capture worker acknowledgments via signatures. Use it to verify all controls are in place, communicate responsibilities, and decide whether to proceed or stop work and seek assistance.

Pre-Start Risk Assessment
Use this pre-start risk assessment template to evaluate risks before cleaning work begins. It guides you through site and environmental hazards, sharps risk, lighting and isolation considerations, access and public safety, evacuation procedures, secure storage and confined spaces, eyewash access, waste disposal, fire escapes, and immunisation or high-risk requirements. Capture location, personnel, and preparer details to document a thorough, repeatable safety check for cleaning teams.

Point of Work Risk Assessment (On Site)
This on-site Point of Work Risk Assessment template helps operatives verify pre-start requirements and control risks before work begins. Part 1 covers readiness checks such as reviewing the surveyor’s POWRA, competence, correct tools and documentation, PPE, PAT-tested power tools, inspected working-at-height equipment, cable location (cat and genny), and gas detector availability. Part 2 guides hazard identification across slips and trips, falls from height, chemicals, electricity, dust and fumes, noise and vibration, vehicles, confined spaces, asbestos, adverse weather, and risks to others, with notes for additional controls. The template concludes with operative sign-off and an end-of-job review to capture improvements and any new hazards.
