Control/ Recovery Measures Ensure all machines and equipments are in good condition. Regular preventive and corrective maintenance of equipment must be observed. Drip trays are used to prevent any spillage. Make sure all vehicles are routinely inspected and maintained to reduce the risk of mechanical failure. In the event that there is ground contamination ensure all contaminated ground is collected and placed into plastic bags, removed to a waste storage container until removed from site to a hazardous waste disposal site. Deploy equipment delivering materials in such manner that no congestion inside shall happen and no parking anytime in the work area. Use only designated roads for delivery of concrete. Ensure to wear suitable respiratory protective equipment such as a P, N or R 95 respirator when fumes from dust cant be avoided. Remove person to fresh air.
