Participants can specify controls for work at height and temporary works activities.

• Work-at-height hierarchy selects avoidance, collective protection and personal fall protection
• Scaffold inspection tags record status, restrictions, inspector and inspection dates
• Fall-arrest plans address anchor points, clearance, rescue and suspension trauma
• Temporary works coordination defines design checks, approvals and change control
• Formwork and falsework inspections verify stability before loading or concrete placement
• Roof-work controls address fragile surfaces, edge protection and weather conditions

Participants can plan controls for lifting operations, mobile plant and pedestrian separation.

• Lift plans define load weight, radius, crane capacity and exclusion zones
• Appointed-person duties coordinate lifting studies, supervision and communication arrangements
• Rigging inspections verify slings, shackles, hooks and lifting accessories
• Traffic management plans separate pedestrians, vehicles, plant and delivery movements
• Plant pre-use checks cover brakes, alarms, guards, visibility and maintenance
• Banksman signals and radio protocols control reversing and restricted-visibility operations

Participants can manage excavation hazards and underground-service controls on civil works.

• Utility searches combine drawings, permit records, surveys and cable-avoidance tools
• Excavation support systems address soil conditions, depth, loading and water ingress
• Spoil-pile placement prevents surcharge loading near excavation edges
• Safe access arrangements use ladders, stairs or engineered access systems
• Inspection frequencies respond to weather, ground movement and changing conditions
• Barricades and edge protection protect workers and public from open excavations

Participants can plan occupational health controls and welfare provisions for construction workers.

• Occupational health risk assessments identify exposure routes, duration and susceptible groups
• Silica-dust controls combine wet methods, extraction, respiratory protection and monitoring
• Noise assessments define exposure action values, hearing protection and health surveillance
• Heat-stress plans schedule work, hydration, shade, acclimatisation and supervision
• Welfare facilities provide sanitation, washing, drinking water, rest and changing areas
• Health surveillance arrangements follow identified exposure risks and competent medical advice

Participants can establish environmental controls for significant construction activities and emergencies.

• Aspect-impact registers rank environmental significance using defined assessment criteria
• Waste-management plans apply segregation, storage, transfer documentation and licensed disposal
• Spill-prevention controls address fuel storage, bunding, refuelling and emergency materials
• Dust and emissions controls use suppression, monitoring, maintenance and scheduling
• Water-management measures control silt, dewatering discharge and contaminated runoff
• Biodiversity protection identifies exclusion zones, seasonal restrictions and ecological permits

Participants can prepare and test emergency arrangements for foreseeable construction incidents.

• Emergency scenarios include fire, collapse, spill, rescue and severe weather
• Emergency response plans assign incident command, communication and evacuation responsibilities
• Rescue plans address suspended workers, confined spaces and excavation emergencies
• Muster-point design considers access, headcounts, visitors and changing site layouts
