Snagging and touch-up painting: energy sources and direct controls

Snagging and touch-up work spreads small tasks with solvents, sanding and light access equipment across finished areas.

High-energy check

The individual tasks look low energy, which is why controls slip. Solvent use in enclosed finished rooms and improvised access are the repeat exposures.

This task's main energy sources are not calculated by this tool. Use the trigger checks below and competent-person verification.

Trigger checks

Chemical
Harmful, reactive, flammable, corrosive or toxic substances.
Sound
Harmful noise or impulse sound.

Direct controls to verify

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

Safety data sheets for the products in use are available.
Rooms are ventilated while solvents are in use.
Steps and podiums are used as designed, not improvised access.
Finished-area rules are briefed before work starts.
Waste and solvent rags are removed at the end of each shift.

For your SPA or pre-start

State the products in use, the ventilation of each room, the access equipment allowed and how finished-area rules are briefed.
