Health and safety advice
Green lists
Products, processes and procedures to be positively encouraged.
• Adequate access for vehicles to minimise reversing requirements (one-way systems
and turning radii) in particular if specialist vehicles will need access (pole erection units,
MEWP vehicles etc.).
• Provision of adequate access and headroom for maintenance in communications rooms,
and adequate provision for replacing heavy components.
• Thoughtful location of mechanical and electrical equipment, such as telecoms
equipment, termination points, Wi-Fi transceivers etc. and so on to facilitate access,
and placed away from crowded areas.
• Lighting within communications rooms adequate for ne tasks (bre splicing, small
diameter copper wire terminations etc.)
• Provision of adequate air handling / conditioning and ventilation for the installed
equipment base within the communications room (and people having to access and
work within the area)
• Early installation of permanent means of access, and prefabricated access systems with
hand rails.
• Provision of edge protection at permanent works where there is a foreseeable risk of
falls after handover (consider radio antenna or aerials installations on roof spaces).
• Encourage the use of engineering controls to minimise the use of personal
protective equipment.
