Bricklaying and plastering works
|
Problem : Falling from altitude
| Questions / observations | Activities improving the state of OSH |
| | The use of incorrectly erected scaffolding (e.g. without protective handrails at a height of 1.1 m, curbs at a height of at least 0.15 m, crossbars in the middle of the height between the handrail and the curb, ladders in the risers for movement). | Produce and install the scaffolding in accordance with the technical and user documentation, conduct periodic inspections of the state of the scaffolding. |
| | Insufficient seating and anchoring of the scaffolding. | Permit scaffolding to be used after technical acceptance by the technical construction inspector (scaffolding and hanging platforms) and confirmation by an entry made by an authorised technical inspector. | | Lack of acceptance of the scaffolding for use by the technical inspector. |
| | Working on ladders in a poor technical state, not marked with the safety sign and not having a valid certificate for such markings. | Use ladders marked with the "B" safety sign and having a valid certificate providing authorisation for such marking, and in a good technical state. |
| | The use of ladders in a manner that does not conform to their assignment (instead of scaffolding). | Use ladders in accordance with their assignment, work only from scaffolding that is adapted to the scope and nature of these works. |
| | Lack of protection with handrails along steps and stair platforms. | Use handrails for steps and stair platforms that are used for horizontal and vertical movement.
|
| | Lack of protection of openings in walls and ceilings. | Use protective devices to secure openings in walls and ceilings or use covers for these, e.g. fence these openings with handrails or use covers. |
| | Are dangerous places (where there is a threat to the workers) marked in visible colours and/or safety signs? | Mark dangerous places with safety signs and/or visible colours. |
| | Working without appropriate protective equipment securing against falling from altitude. | Provide and use the correct protective equipment securing against falling from altitude (e.g. safety harness with lanyard and braking device), which has a certificate for the safety sign and has been marked with this sign. |
|
Problem : Falling onto surfaces
| Questions / observations | Activities improving the state of OSH |
| | Lack of designated and orderly footpaths for pedestrians and traffic routes. | Designate and put order to the surfaces of paths for pedestrians and traffic routes.
|
| | Disorder on working platforms, e.g. rubble and spilt mortar. | Ongoing cleaning of working platforms of rubble and spilt mortar. |
|
Problem : Falling items from a higher storey onto workers below
| Questions / observations | Activities improving the state of OSH |
| | Working simultaneously on several storeys in the same floor space (work post under work post). | ODA Assignment of positions on individual storeys in various places of the floor plan; if it is necessary to work in the same area of the floor plan on different storeys, use protective roofing. |
| | Lack of assigned danger zone for work performed at altitude. | ODA Designation of a danger zone around the work area, while adhering to the wide of the zone being no less than 1/10 of the height from which there is a threat of items falling, but no less than 6 m. |
|
Problem : Items falling onto people in the danger zone
| Questions / observations | Activities improving the state of OSH |
| | Lack of protective roofs over footpaths or their incorrect installation (width, strength). | Produce appropriate roofing (of width greater than at least 1 m more than the width of the footpath or vehicle crossing), which is resistant to puncturing, fixed at a height of at least 2.5 m above ground level, sloping at an angle of 45° towards the source of danger. |
| | Lack of appropriate lighting and marking of the danger zone. | Appropriate (sufficient) lighting of the danger zone and its marking with warning signs. |
| Use of protective roofing as platforms or places for storing materials and equipment.
| Use roofing only for protective purposes in order to secure against items falling from above. |
| Lack of protective nets on scaffolding located at footpaths and vehicle crossings, e.g. streets.
| Use protective nets on scaffolding located at footpaths and vehicle crossings. |
|
Problem : Eye injuries during manual and mechanical plastering
| Questions / observations | Activities improving the state of OSH |
| | Lack of goggles or the lack of their use by the workers. | Ensure that protective goggles are used during plastering, especially on ceilings. |
|
Problem : Atmospheric discharges - injuries of those working at altitude, e.g. on balconies, scaffolding, roofs or cranes
| Questions / observations | Activities improving the state of OSH |
| | Are cranes, lifts and other vertical means of transport equipped with lightning conductors? | Ensure that cranes, lifts and other means of vertical transport are protected from lightning. |
| | Is the building equipped with lightning conductors (refers to tall buildings, which in particular does not stand among compact developments etc.)? | Ensure the lightning protection of buildings in accordance with requirements and the connection of scaffolding to available natural or artificial earths or to the conducting structural elements of the building. |
| | Is an absolute prohibition in force preventing work being carried out during storms on balconies, scaffolding, roofs, cranes etc. and in their vicinity? | Prevent people from being on roofs, balconies and scaffolding set up externally to buildings during storms. |
