How often should a site-specific risk assessment be reviewed and updated during a long-term tower maintenance project?

A site-specific risk assessment for a long-term tower maintenance project should be reviewed and updated at least daily, before the start of each shift, and whenever there is a change in the work scope, environment, or personnel involved. Daily review ensures that the assessment remains relevant to the current conditions and tasks being performed. Pre-shift reviews allow for adjustments based on changing weather, equipment status, or new information about potential hazards. A change in work scope, such as adding a new task or using different equipment, necessitates a re-evaluation of the risks and control measures. Similarly, changes in the environment, such as the presence of nearby construction activity or alterations to RF radiation levels, require an updated assessment. Finally, if there are new personnel on the site, they need to be briefed on the risks and control measures outlined in the assessment. These frequent reviews and updates ensure that the risk assessment remains a dynamic and effective tool for managing safety throughout the duration of the project.
