Lesson 1Excavation and basement controls: shoring, edge protection, safe access, egress and exclusion zonesHandle dig and basement risks like collapse, falls, flood, and service hits, and explain shoring, benching, edge guards, safe access and exit, no-go zones, and ground check.
Ground assessment and service locatingSelection of shoring and support systemsEdge protection and fall preventionSafe access, egress and laddersExclusion zones and ongoing monitoringLesson 2Scaffolding and temporary works controls: design verification, inspections, access ladders, tie-ins, weather protocolsCover scaffold and temporary works controls from design to pull down, including design check, load limits, tie patterns, inspections, access setups, weather rules, and link wid permanent works.
Temporary works design and verificationScaffold erection and tie-in patternsAccess ladders, stairs and platformsInspection frequencies and checklistsWeather, loading and alteration controlsLesson 3Hierarchy of controls applied to construction: elimination, substitution, engineering, admin, PPEShow how to use control ladder for construction hazards, first elimination and change, then engineering and rules, wid PPE last, backed by examples and stories.
Elimination and design-out of hazardsSubstitution with safer methods or materialsEngineering controls and guardingAdministrative controls and proceduresPPE as last resort and residual riskLesson 4Demolition and hot works controls: work permits, segregation, structural monitoring and debris containmentExplain how to control demo and hot works using permits, separate areas, structure check, fire watch, and rubbish hold, keeping steady, no fire, and protect nearby workers and places.
Demolition sequencing and stability checksHot work permit-to-work processSegregation and fire-resistant screensStructural and vibration monitoringDebris containment and fire watchLesson 5PPE selection and use for construction tasks: helmets, harnesses, gloves, footwear, eye and hearing protection, respiratorsExplain how to pick, fit, use, and care PPE for construction jobs, covering helmets, harnesses, gloves, boots, eye and ear guard, and masks, plus match, store, and change rules.
Task-based PPE risk assessmentHead, eye and face protectionHand, foot and body protectionHearing protection selection and useRespiratory protection and fit testingLesson 6Training, coordination and communication controls: toolbox talks, pre-shift briefings, subcontractor coordination meetingsLook at how planned talks, toolbox meetings, and coord meetings make workers, bosses, and subs see same risk picture, know controls, and handle site changes same way.
Planning effective toolbox talksPre-shift task and risk briefingsSubcontractor coordination meetingsLanguage and literacy considerationsRecording attendance and feedbackLesson 7Engineering controls for lifting and struck-by risks: exclusion zones, tag lines, lift plans, crane competency checksFocus on engineering controls to stop lifting and struck-by accidents, including no-go zones, tag lines, lift plans, crane and gear checks, and talk between drivers and signalers.
Planning and approving lift plansEstablishing and policing exclusion zonesUse of tag lines and load controlCrane and lifting gear inspectionsSignaling methods and radio protocolsLesson 8Housekeeping, storage and traffic management: pallet layout, segregation, temporary roads, signageCover how good cleaning, safe storage, and traffic control cut slips, trips, falls, and struck-by, including pallet setup, material separate, temp roads, and clear site signs.
Housekeeping standards and inspectionsSafe pallet layout and stackingSegregation of people and vehiclesDesign of temporary site roadsSignage, barriers and floor markingsLesson 9Electrical safety measures: temporary earth, RCDs, isolation procedures, cable routing and lockout/tagoutDetail controls for temp electrical systems, including ground, RCD pick and test, isolate and lockout/tagout, safe cable path, and check routines to stop shock, burn, and fire.
Temporary electrical system planningUse and testing of RCD protectionCable routing and mechanical protectionIsolation procedures and LOTOInspection, defects and energization checksLesson 10Fall protection solutions: guardrails, edge protection, collective fall arrest, harness systems, safety netsCheck fall guard solutions like guardrails, edge protect, safety nets, and body fall arrest, including anchor design, rescue plan, check, and pick group over personal.
