NEBOSH Construction Element 9 Work Equipment

Element 9 covers work equipment and the controls needed to use tools, machinery and site equipment safely. This video explains suitability, maintenance, guarding, inspection, training, isolation and the risks created by poor selection or misuse of equipment. We also look at how candidates can move beyond generic answers and explain specific equipment hazards with proportionate controls. This element is central to both exam performance and day-to-day site decision-making. Subscribe to Scales of Safety for the full NEBOSH Construction series.
