Working with PVC Conduit Method Statement

PVC Conduit Installation Procedure

Safe work method statement for how to glue electrical PVC conduit is an assessment of risk following the hazard identification process connected with gluing PVC conduit and the subsequent implementation of controls to manage risk.

  • SWMS Electrical safe work method statements require hazard controls be implemented per safety procedures for electrical works when gluing PVC conduit.

How to Connect PVC Conduit

Workplace Health and Safety has conducted a preliminary hazard analysis for gluing PVC conduit, e.g. working with PVC conduit and how to glue PVC conduit with risk controls developed for hazards identified per the hierarchy of hazard control.

  • Assess and review OHS practices in the workplace to control risks

  • WHS consultation to identify potential hazards with how to cut PVC conduit used in electrical work

  • Risk assessment to identify health and safety hazards in the workplace having the potential to cause death and serious injury

  • Health and safety planning for cleaning and gluing PVC conduit, e.g. minimise risks through the planning process

  • WHS consultation and participation processes ensure adequate health and safety communication

  • Workplace environmental hazards, e.g. work in a confined space, falling from heights, trenches and excavations

  • Slip trips and falls in the workplace having the potential to cause death or serious injury

  • Implementation of controls for gluing PVC conduit, e.g. isolation of hazards and services

  • Health and safety information for managing risks to health and safety

  • Chemical safety for the safe handling of chemicals in the workplace per a safe work procedure for chemical handling, e.g. chemical handling and storage procedure

  • Chemical hazard control measures for decanting chemicals into a secondary container for chemical storage, e.g. decanting chemicals procedure, minimum labeling requirements for labeling small containers

  • Control measures for cleaning and gluing PVC conduit per chemical safety data sheet when using cement for PVC conduit, e.g. how to glue PVC conduit

  • Hazardous chemicals used in connection with gluing PVC conduit

  • Hazardous manual handling tasks in connection with handling, cleaning and gluing PVC conduit

  • Personal protective equipment, e.g. chemical handling gloves, chemical safety gear, PPE respirator

  • Work health and safety training for workers, e.g. safe chemical handling training

  • Workplace housekeeping incorporating material handling and storage safety

  • Legislative and regulatory requirements for managing hazards, e.g. code of practice for safe electrical work and workplace safety standards

  • Monitor and review of risk controls, e.g. implement and monitor work health and safety practices

  • Electrician tasks and activities in connection with gluing PVC conduit

SWMS Electrical

Method Statement for Conduit Installation

Safe work procedures for gluing PVC conduit shall assess the risk of construction high-risk activities involved in working with PVC conduit, e.g. how to put PVC conduit together.

  • Working on or near live electrical equipment, e.g. electrical hazard

  • Implementing an isolation procedure for electrical equipment to ensure electrical equipment safety

  • Working at height

  • Decanting chemicals into small chemical containers

  • Chemical hazards when handling glue for PVC conduit

  • Other hazards when cleaning and gluing PVC conduit
