TASK
P3 Identification of hazards at workplace which can be risky for other people working on site
Identifying hazards at work place is a key concern of trainee manager because an
individual is responsible for reporting to principal contractor for further control and review
measures. In accordance with construction of Liverpool St station site at cross rail, there are
various risks which needs to control and manage to prevent safety measures of employees
working at site.
Some identified risks are outlined below:
 Climate change is the major risk at cross rail which can impact health of workers. It is the
situation of extreme heat where workers can face severe burns during work.
 Setting of hoardings at site is a risky process because in this situation, the workers work
on heights with electricity and many other functions such as drilling, attaching, fixing etc.
These fixations of hoarding after building is a risky process of employees at site
(Arashpour and et.al., 2017).
 Scaffolding, cranes, hoists are another situation at construction site which are life
threatening. For example, working on temporary wooden structure is uncertain and holds
the risk of falling because it is made of wooden planks and metal poles. In addition, while
working on heights the labourers make use of hoist which is a device that is used for
lifting or lowering a load with the help of rope or chain wraps. In this situation, the
workers, working on height is at risky situation and becomes more hazardous when the
individuals manage weight (Amiri, Ardeshir and Zarandi, 2017). Hence, it is another
risky situation at construction site of Liverpool St station site at cross rail.
