- Walk around the work area at a normal speed.
- Avoid depositing objects in transit areas.
- Keep the site orderly. Spend part of the working day gathering up and putting each thing in its place.
- Sufficient lighting.
- After using an overhead crane (belonging to the client), the hook is to be raised to a considerable height (> 2.5 m) to avoid knocking against it.

RISK
90 Blows/cuts caused by objects or tools.
RISK FACTORS
- When handling materials and using hand tools (radial cutters/grinders, drills, hammers, spanners, etc.), fixed electrical tools (drill presses, grinding stones, etc.) .
- Failure of cables or securing elements slipping (conductor self-gripping clamps, sleeves, tensors, etc.).
- During the trimming/cutting of wires.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Rules for acting
- Use each tool only for the job it is designed for.
- Specific implements that are suitable for the cross-section of the wires to trim are to be used to do so. Do not use knives, scissors or any other alternative tool.
- Carry out maintenance of machinery and tools prior to the job.
- Store and transport tools in an appropriate manner.
- Keep tools well ordered.
- Training in their use and information on their inherent hazards.

- Whenever possible, protect the corners and parts that may be sharp of parts or materials to be handled.
- Training of personnel in their handling.
- Employ double retention and securing of conductors (double conductor self-gripping clamp).
- Clamps are to be the appropriate ones so that the conductor does not fall.
