Correct operation of the system ensures that:
 Only one authority issues permits to allow personnel to work.
 Only authorized supervisors shall request and receive permits.
 All personnel are aware of safety measures required to be taken.
 The area affected by the work is clearly defined.
 The period of time during which the work may take place is clearly defined.

Controls for Hazards Common to the Construction Industry


The following table identifies the chemical agents frequently encountered during construction and
commissioning activities.
Methods of control are summarised, where prevention of exposure is not practicable.
The references given are general and the application of appropriate standards as issued by recognised
national, industry and international bodies shall be given preference to.
There are thousands of chemicals in use and in mixture form, thus the list below only serves as a broad
outline of categories of products.
