    This risk assessment identifies potential hazards for office-based staff visiting construction sites and measures to reduce risks. Key hazards included falls, falling objects, moving machinery, live services, and adverse weather. To control risks, staff must receive site inductions, follow designated walkways and avoid hazardous areas, wear appropriate PPE like hard hats and high-visibility clothing, not use contractor's equipment, and immediately report any unsafe conditions. They are also permitted to stop work if adequate safety controls cannot be implemented.
