  • Site inductions should also be provided to those who do not regularly work on the site, but who visit it on an occasional or once-only basis.

  • The induction, briefly covers crucial topics such as hazard identification and risk assessment, use of personal protective equipment, emergency procedures, fire safety protocols, and safe work practices for operating machinery and handling materials. We will also discuss reporting procedures for accidents, near misses, and potential hazards.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT

  • Any accident causing injury must be recorded in an accident book.

  • All relevant staff should be involved in investigating accidents and near misses.

FIRST AID AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

  • All first aiders should have a current up to date First Aid at Work certificate

  • The place to go in the event of an emergency is called an ‘assembly point’

  • The location of emergency assembly points should be identified in the site induction

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

  • Employers should provide workers with personal protective equipment (PPE), and a means to maintain it correctly free of charge

  • Wearing PPE will help to protect workers from physical injury or ill health

  • Size and fit should be considered in the selection of suitable PPE

  • Stop work immediately and replace PPE if it gets damaged

DUST AND FUMES

  • Harmful dust is often invisible to the naked eye

  • Breathing in harmful dust can cause life shortening illnesses

  • Breathing in construction dust can result in occupational lung diseases such as asthma and silicosis

  • Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) will only be effective if it fits the wearer’s face properly

NOISE AND VIBRATION

  • If you have to raise your voice to be understood as a result of noise on site,  stop work and raise the problem with your supervisor

  • Always wear the correct protection in a hearing protection zone

  • Exposure to vibration is a serious issue as it can result in disabling health conditions that cannot be cured

  • Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) includes a range of conditions that can lead to permanent damage in the hands and forearm

CSCS small Health.png

HEALTH AND WELFARE

  • On site your employer should provide a covered rest area with seating, tables, access to drinking water, and facilities to boil water and heat food

  • The area should be kept tidy and in order not to encourage rats, waste should be disposed of in the provided bins

  • Tiredness and fatigue at work may be caused by working long hours, doing repetitive and monotonous tasks, or poorly scheduled work patterns.

MANUAL HANDLING

  • Using a wheelbarrow or other lifting aids to move heavy loads is classed as manual handling but they help to reduce the risk of personal injury.

  • Workers should be trained in safe lifting techniques before manual handling or lifting.

  • Adopting safe manual handling techniques will help to protect your back and reduce the risk of injury in the workplace

SAFETY

FIRE PREVENTION AND CONTROL

  • Emergency procedures should be in place before any work begins, explained in the site induction, and not changed without notice.

  • Everyone on site should be aware of the emergency procedures, as these help control dangerous situations.
