Installation of domestic and commercial safes and vault doors involves heavy lifts, masonry drilling, and chemical anchoring. This work triggers HRCW provisions under WHS Regulation 2011 r291 due to load weights exceeding manual handling limits and structural penetration risks, mandating a documented SWMS before work commences on Australian sites.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
