Document Summary

This document outlines safe work procedures for tasks conducted in occupied premises, focusing on hazard control, communication, and site security. Contractors must secure work areas to prevent unauthorized access and minimize risks to occupants. Tools, materials, and hazardous substances, such as asbestos, must be safely stored and handled to prevent exposure. Electrical work must follow isolation protocols and be performed by licensed electricians.

Risk management includes mitigating noise exposure, guarding against falls with temporary covers and barricades, and ensuring daily cleanup of work areas. All duty holders must collaborate to ensure the health and safety of occupants, with clear agreements on site management responsibilities. Compliance with these procedures ensures safe and efficient operations in occupied environments.
