Exclusion zones

• Exclusion zones need to be

barricaded off where work presents
a risk to others. This could be from

falling materials or from hazards of
the plant itself.
1. Safe Access and Egress
• Hard barriers with suitable signage
required to prevent unauthorized

access. Barrier owner to be
displayed.

• Exclusion zone must be large

enough to contain any tool or
material that may fall.

• Exclusion zone to be removed when

works are complete.

• If the zone affects an access route,
a diversion must be agreed and in

place before the area is cordoned
off.
