Are there excavations or confined spaces on site – eg open trenches, utilities, pier holes or swimming pools?

Are there any impaling materials left on site – eg reo bars, nails in timber or form work materials?

Is there a potential for collapse – eg of concrete formwork or battered areas of soil from site cuts?

Are there deliveries of building materials to site?

Is there a potential for the public to be hit by falling objects related to the construction process on the site?

Is the public exposed to high-risk construction work, or plant and equipment?
