Ceiling installation: energy sources and direct controls

Installing ceiling grids, tiles and above-ceiling services combines overhead work, dropped components and power tool use above other trades.

High-energy check

Grid sections and tools dropped from platform height can exceed injury thresholds. Sustained drilling and cutting overhead adds noise this tool does not calculate.

Trigger checks

Sound
Harmful noise or impulse sound.

Direct controls to verify

Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.

Overhead services are located before drilling starts.
Tools used at height are tethered or held in containers.
Grid sections are supported until fixed.
The area below the work is excluded or protected.
Podium steps or platforms are used, not the grid itself for support.
Stop if a tile or section will not seat without force.

For your SPA or pre-start

State the work height, how components and tools are secured, the exclusion below the work and how overhead services are checked before drilling.
