Dispose of waste in sealed bags or containers, label hazardous waste appropriately, use designated disposal areas complying with environmental regulations

Conduct a hazard assessment before starting, use appropriate PPE (e.g., respirators, gloves), engage a professional for hazardous material removal if identified

Work in well-ventilated areas or use respiratory protection if necessary, wear protective gloves, follow manufacturer's instructions for mixing

Use appropriate PPE during cleanup, dispose of paint waste according to local environmental regulations, clean brushes and equipment in designated areas

Use appropriate PPE during cleanup, dispose of paint waste according to local environmental regulations, clean brushes and equipment in designated areas

Use appropriate PPE (e.g., gloves, safety glasses), place spill containment materials (e.g., absorbent mats) around wash areas

Ensure adequate ventilation, use appropriate respirators if necessary, select non-toxic cleaners when possible, follow manufacturer's guidelines for solvent use

Use ergonomic equipment for cleaning (e.g., brush spinners), designate washing areas with appropriate drainage and containment to reduce environmental impact

Use of sealed containers for waste, proper labeling, disposal according to local environmental regulations, training on waste handling procedures

Immediate cleanup of spills using absorbent materials, proper disposal of contaminated absorbents, maintaining clean and dry work areas to prevent slips.

Store solvents and cleaners in labeled, fire-resistant cabinets away from work areas, ensure all containers are sealed and stored upright.

Always wear a life jacket or buoyancy aid when working near water. Ensure a rescue plan is in place, and maintain close supervision. Provide workers with water safety training.

Use non-slip footwear and ensure walkways are clear of obstructions. Install guardrails or barriers where necessary and provide adequate lighting for visibility.

Wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, boots, and waterproof clothing. Test water quality before working and avoid working in contaminated areas. Implement regular clean-up procedures for hazardous waste.

Check water conditions before starting work, and avoid working during dangerous conditions (e.g., high tides or strong currents). Use life-saving devices such as ropes, throw bags, and lifebuoys. Limit work to calm water conditions.

Immediate cleanup of spills using absorbent materials, proper disposal of contaminated absorbents, maintaining clean and dry work areas to prevent slips

Use water-resistant electrical equipment and ensure all electrical work near water is carried out by qualified personnel. Install ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and maintain safe distances between electrical sources and water.

Monitor weather forecasts and cease work during adverse conditions such as storms or high winds. Ensure that all equipment and personnel are secure before, during, and after any weather event.
