Every site manager carries a mental checklist of safety equipment, and every mental checklist has holes, discovered at audit time or incident time, whichever arrives first. Here is the list in writing, organised the way sites actually work.
The boundary layer
The perimeter is the first control an inspector sees and the first the public meets:
- Temporary mesh fencing, or a complete package with blocks and clamps in matched ratios
- Braces for ends, corners and exposed runs, non negotiable once anything is attached to the mesh
- A lock for the access point, because an unlockable site is an open site
- Tree protection fencing where the approval names vegetation, TPZ packages exist because councils check
- Noise reduction barrier on residential boundaries, the cheapest neighbour goodwill available
The full assembly method is in the setup guide, and the legal backdrop in the compliance guide.
The traffic layer
Wherever vehicles move, on site or past it:
- Reflective traffic cones, 700mm for road environments, 450mm for internal routes, Class 1W reflectivity where night work happens
- Cone extension bars to turn cone pairs into visual barriers
- Barrier boards with A frame legs for delineating exclusions and edges, including the 2.5m Class 1W boards built for Queensland road shoulder work
The system thinking, warning before guidance before barrier, is covered in traffic equipment for sites.
The exclusion layer
Inside the boundary, the soft controls that mark daily hazards:
- Safety barrier mesh in 50m rolls, 5kg for general marking, 8kg where it will be leaned on, for trenches, penetrations, wet concrete and the day's changing hazards
- Crowd control barriers for pedestrian channels and harder exclusions, in packages when the quantity is real
The welfare layer
Amenities are safety equipment with a different name, and regulators treat them so:
- Portable toilets, owned outright for long jobs, the buying logic is its own article
- Water supply and a bubbler at the work face, per the hydration guide
The stock cupboard rule
The difference between a tidy site and a scramble is spares on hand: a dozen clamps, two braces, a roll of barrier mesh, six cones. Hazards appear daily; the site that can respond from the container beats the site waiting on a delivery.
