• Wear a harness when required by the risk assessment for the task.
• Check wind speed before handling large panels — observe stop limits.
• Follow the manufacturer's installation sequence and fixing specification.
• Use cut-resistant gloves when handling metal cladding panels.
• Secure all panels with permanent fixings before removing temporary supports.
• Verify the fire classification of all cladding materials before installation.
• Plan panel lifting to avoid swinging loads near operatives at height.
• Secure packaging and offcuts to prevent wind-blown debris from height.
• Inspect scaffolding and access platforms daily before cladding work.
• Brief the team on the day's panel sequence and weather limits.

• DON'T handle large cladding panels in high winds — observe the stop limit.
• DON'T install materials that do not meet the specified fire rating.
• DON'T work at height without appropriate fall protection in place.
• DON'T lean out from scaffolding to position or fix panels.
• DON'T leave panels temporarily propped without securing against wind.
• DON'T cut cladding panels without dust suppression and RPE.
• DON'T store panels flat on scaffolding where wind can lift them.
• DON'T alter the fixing specification without the designer's approval.
• DON'T throw waste off the building — lower it in controlled loads.
• DON'T work below cladding without an exclusion zone in place.
