    The key takeaways from the risk assessment are the identification of risks associated with erecting bamboo scaffolding, working at heights and near water, and working within the nullah. Controls are outlined to mitigate these risks and further additional controls are proposed.

    The main risks identified include collapse of scaffolding, falling into water, falling from heights, falling objects, slipping and falling into the nullah, and flooding.

    Controls in place for working at height risks include providing suitable working platforms, safety harnesses, safety training, guardrails and toeboards. Daily inspections are also conducted.
