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.
