Critical controls
High-risk work starts with verification
These tasks need tighter controls, permits, and clear competency checks.
High-risk domains
Plant, machinery and isolation
Use permit systems and verify lockout status before use.
Working at heights
Confirm anchors, edge control, and exclusion perimeter.
Confined spaces
Use gas checks, rescue plans, and trained oversight.
Vehicles and traffic
Separate pedestrian and plant routes clearly.
Electrical controls
Verify isolation and testing before live access.
Licences and tickets
Check competency certificates and expiry dates before task start.
Supervisor sign-off required
No high-risk task should start until controls and authorisations are complete.
