Hazards
Working underground
Consequences
Operatives – exposure to magnesium oxide dust. Injuries to hand from sharp swarf.
Control Measures
- Suitable PPE to be worn during this task.
- Severity is only high in any trench where a danger of collapse exists (this may only be a shallow trench).
- Where a risk of collapse exists, the trench sides are to be adequately supported.
- Only competent, trained personnel to carry out cable jointing/installation
- Suitable PPE (eye and hand protection) to be worn whilst carrying out the activity.
- All cables should be laid at a suitable depth in a bed of sand and covered with sand and sifted soil before backfilling is carried out.
- Directly above the cable route at a depth of approximately 225 millimeters a yellow cable marker tape with the words ‘’Caution electric cable below’’, should be installed.
- Cable marker tape should also be laid along the route of all buried electrical services ducts where it is considered that they are likely to be disturbed in the future.
