	Terrain hazards can cause water collection increasing the risk of drowning or machinery getting stuck. Make sure to inspect all sites after a heavy downpour and to mark off or fill in any holes and washed out areas that can cause slips, trips, and falls. Be aware of all overhead hazards, especially power lines when operating and moving equipment.		Terrain hazards can cause water collection increasing the risk of drowning or machinery getting stuck.

Typically, in construction, ‘plant’ refers to heavy machinery and equipment used during construction works. (NB the word 'plant may also refer to living organism such as trees, shrubs, and so on, or to the process of placing seeds or plants in the ground so that they can grow).

	At the smaller scale, there may be some overlap between what is considered plant, small plant, tools, small tools or equipment. Very broadly, ‘tools’ might be considered to be instruments that are used by hand, whereas ‘equipment’ might refer to a set of tools used for a single purpose.
