This comprehensive Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Risk Assessment document provides a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating, and controlling potential hazards associated with brick masonry activities. It covers all stages of bricklaying, from initial site preparation and material handling to installation, working at heights, and final site cleanup. The document details physical hazards such as manual handling, working at heights, falling objects, noise, and vibration exposure, as well as chemical hazards from cement dust and admixtures, and environmental concerns like dust generation and waste management. It also addresses health risks including silica dust exposure, heat stress, and fatigue. Crucially, it outlines robust control measures based on the hierarchy of controls, including site preparation, safe material handling, working at height protocols, proper tool and equipment usage, chemical exposure prevention, environmental protection strategies, and health and welfare provisions. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements and emergency procedures are also clearly defined. This assessment is designed to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and promote best practices in occupational safety and environmental protection within the construction industry. Ideal for Safety Officers, HSE Managers, Site Supervisors, Bricklayers, and Construction Project Managers.
