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.
