Site Establishment & Setout (Plumbing)

Establishing the plumbing work site before work begins - access, amenities and laydown, perimeter fencing and hoarding, traffic and pedestrian management, locating services, temporary power and water connections, and setting out the works.

Objective

Separate the public and workers from the works, identify and avoid underground and overhead services, and put traffic, access, temporary services and emergency controls in place before work starts.

This is the Plumbing version. The hazards and controls are written around plumbing work, so it differs from the other 48 trade versions of Site Establishment & Setout. Compare all 49.
