HSE Management

The targets set are to ensure the operation/site/location is to achieve zero accidents and
incidents, ill health or occupational disease throughout the duration of the operation/site/location
through careful planning and where possible, elimination of known hazards. A health & safety
monitoring report is completed by our site management to ensure that safe systems of work are
implemented at all times, copies of which are held on site. Our Health & Safety Consultants also
visit periodically to carry out health and safety inspections to ensure our policy, all current
legislation and best practice requirements are being followed. In addition the
operation/site/location will be part of the programme of management system audits which will
verify that the systems and procedures are put in place, and that the CMP is working effectively.
Monitoring will also aim to ensure that all relevant personnel are aware of their responsibilities
and legal obligations as they undertake their specific duties on site. The operation/site/location
may also be subject to a Senior Team Safety Tour which would be undertaken by a Senior
Manager & the Health & Safety Team. Any non-conformance with any health and safety
requirements that are encountered are dealt with in accordance with their priority rating and any
new procedure that is felt would benefit the health, safety and welfare of all our employees will
go forward to our health and safety committee for debate and possible inclusion into our policy.
A subcontractor assessment record and a sub-contractor performance assessment are also
compiled which evaluates their overall health and safety performance. Results from these
monitoring procedures are fed back to the management team in the monthly Health & Safety
report and are reviewed at Management meetings.

● Services located on site will be carefully
checked to determine if they are live or
contain any hazardous materials or
substances and all details recorded. In
respect of any digging activities all
existing services will be identified to all

temporary electrical installations. information on local services and
procedures to be followed are
communicated to all parties involved.
Non electrical trades must not interfere
with any electric items/installations,
including socket, spur and switch
faceplates. Isolate service prior to
commencement of works – minimise live
works. All exposed cables are to be
‘made dead’ and easily identified with
‘not live tags’ ‘.
● Control of lifting operation/site/locations ● Machines are to be isolated and secured
when left unattended with no loads left
suspended. MEWPS are to be
thoroughly examined by a competent
person at intervals not exceeding 6
months with a written report obtained
and must be visually inspected weekly
 by the operator and an entry made into
the ‘Working Equipment and Lifting
Equipment Register’) or contractors
equivalent with any faults discovered
reported to the relevant persons so that
repairs can be instigated. MEWPS must
be clearly marked to indicate their safe
working load.
● . All tube and fitting scaffolding works
will be carried out by a competent
CISRS trained scaffolding contractor.
Scaffold stairways will be incorporated
from the ground lift upwards on all
scaffolds where the scaffold structure
will be 2 storeys or higher. Lockable
security gates are to be incorporated at
● Preventing falls
the bottom and top of the staircase to
deter unauthorised access especially out
of normal working hours. Any scaffold
adjacent to occupied properties or road
elevations will be fitted with debris
netting, in addition to the standard
protection of brick guards to provide full
protection to any third party.
● All materials and/or substances for
inclusion within the works shall be
correctly stored prior to use in a suitably
ventilated and/or secure area during
● Storage of materials (particularly working and non-working hours. All
hazardous materials) and work hazardous materials and substances
equipment shall be appropriately stored in
accordance with manufacturer’s
instruction for storage and shall not be
placed so as to cause a Health and
Safety Hazard on site.
● A competent contractor will be employed
and they are to submit a suitable and
sufficient risk assessment and method
statement for approval prior to
commencement.. Roof trusses will be

lifted into position using a mobile crane
on a Contract Lift basis all as LOLER.
Roof tiles will be delivered to the scaffold
via a telehandler and distributed evenly
around the scaffold.
● Reducing noise and vibration ● All tools and equipment will be chosen to
minimise noise and vibration levels.
Noise levels within houses during work
will be assessed by selection of the
equipment with the lowest noise output
 and risk assessment by the operation to
reduce to minimum practical levels.
Hand operated tools which expose the
user to vibration levels will be assessed
to determine the correct tool for the job.
Taking into account the level of vibration
produced against productivity.

● Advice will be administered during

induction training on working in the sun.
This will include advice on keeping
● Exposure to UV radiation (from the Sun) covered up during the hot summer
months – especially at lunch time when
the sun is at its hottest. Advising workers
to regularly apply sunscreen of a
suitable SPF.

● Drainage depths will vary but some deep

excavation is inevitable predominantly to
● Drainage

● Ladders will always be tied and/or footed

prior to use. Ensure ladder is placed on
compacted, level ground away from
excavations. Plan ladder position, where
ladder is adjacent to traffic route position

Larger/heavy items should be lifted by
alternative means (forklift, crane etc).
Check the physical condition of the
ladder prior to each use.

systems all fixing and attachment points
will be checked for structural stability. All
● Electrical Testing/Commissioning

● Structural integrity of the structure to be
demolished will be established prior to
commencement and a planned
 sequence of work will be established..
Dust reduction/elimination methods will
be introduced, where reasonably
practicable ‘damping down’ will take
place to suppress dust. All operatives
will wear suitable respiratory protection
equipment during dusty operations.
Noise assessments will be undertaken
during noisy operations and depending
upon their results adequate and suitable
noise elimination/reduction methods will
be introduced. Exposure limits will not
be exceeded by operatives working in
noisy areas and adequate hearing
protection will be provided and worn
where required.

● Safeguards must be taken where

necessary by the provision of guardrails,
toe boards and /or mesh guards to

Materials must be thrown lower levels.
All materials must be lowered by means
of hoists, ginwheels, ropes or chutes to

● Site Manager will establish location, type

and status of all existing underground
services in the vicinity of proposed
excavations. Existing services will be
exposed via hand dug test holes prior to
mechanical excavation. Adequate
support will be provided to excavation
sides and trench headings.. High
● Excavations visibility warnings will be positioned
along excavations. ‘Wheel stops’
comprised of timber sleepers will be
positioned adjacent to edge of
