Health and Safety for Power Capture in the Execute stage
Table of Contents
Objective
The objective of this activity is to:
- Ensure H&S (CDM) statutory responsibilities are carried out. Establish H&S (CDM) duty holder roles (Client, Principal Contractor, Designer, CDM Co-ordinator).
- Focus on Contractor safety and engagement, for assurance of a well trained and safety motivated workforce.
- Implement a design led hazard and risk mitigation process to design out (or mitigate) risks in advance of works. Design risk reviews should be a regular feature during the works, to ensure emergent design safety issues are addressed.
Major Deliverables
- Implemented health and safety management structure during on-site activities
- Managed health and safety (and CDM) data to ensure that all duty holders carry out their roles
- Health and safety file that is maintained and updated with as-built drawings, meeting notes, correspondence and construction-related reports
- Health and safety training and communications plan
- Records of site inductions and minutes of health and safety-related meetings
- Health and safety-related training records for all site personnel
- Health and safety reviewed tender request and contract documents to the supply chain for construction activities
- Reviewed method statements and risk assessments
- Health and safety site inspections reports and audit reports
- Health and safety risk register actively maintained and actions implemented
- Design risk review reports and meeting minutes
- Incident, accident and near-miss reports
- Health and safety management performance reports
