Risk Assessment - Repairing The Damaged LV Cable at Sea Water Intake Area (Back Side of BLDG 2221)

This document provides a risk assessment for repairing damaged low voltage cables at a sea water intake area. It identifies potential hazards such as working in hot environments, not wearing proper PPE, use of sharp hand tools and heat guns. Existing controls include obtaining permits, toolbox talks on hazards, providing PPE and checking tools. Additional controls proposed include providing a rest area with air conditioning and using 110V power tools only. Risks were evaluated on consequences regarding safety, health, environment and financial impacts, as well as probability. Current risks above a threshold of 15 require additional controls to bring the risk down.
