3 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AND SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS

Nature of the work to be carried out

Part of the structure is currently being constructed as part of the Crossrail station development and will be complete and handed over for the remaining building construction in July 2018. Whilst the OSD site will be handed over at the end of June Crossrail activities continue until the opening of the new line in December 2018.

The project comprises the construction of a new office development to provide shell and core, retail space at ground floor, basement plantrooms, ground floor reception area with Cat A office accommodation from first to seventh floor. The building is constructed of an in-situ concrete core with a steel frame and composite floors and will be clad with unitised cladding with terracotta rain screen over cladding.

Phase 1

The initial accommodation will be established within the existing basement shell with the area sub-divided into changing areas, canteen, toilet and washroom facilities to accommodate up to 70 operatives and open plan offices providing up to 12 desks for hbr and trade contractor staff use with associated meeting rooms. A temporary opening will be formed through the ground floor slab to install a temporary staircase down to the basement level. A weatherproof enclosure will be constructed to encapsulate the stair and maintain the weather integrity of the basement. The accommodation will remain in use until the second stage accommodation is operational.

A secondary emergency means of escape will be established at the rear of the accommodation with a haki type stair providing emergency escape up to ground floor with a direct route to the site entrance.

Phase 2

The second phase will be the main set up for the project and be established over two floors, ground and first floor with its construction commencing as the interfacing structure is complete. The ground floor retail and reception area will be subdivided into changing areas, canteen, toilet and washroom facilities to accommodate up to 200 operatives. The first floor office areas will be subdivided to provide open plan areas for 25 HBR staff desks, 50 trade contractor desks and meeting room facilities.

Phase 3

The phase 3 set up will be established at second floor level once the internal fit out at that level has been completed to allow the temporary first floor office and meeting facilities to be relocated and the canteen relocated from the ground floor reception area. The ground floor changing and washroom facilities in the retail area will remain in place until the project is nearing completion.

Phase 4

The last and final phase of accommodation will be established towards the completion of the project when resource levels have reduced sufficiently to allow all the site set up requirements to be accommodated within the ground floor retail space fronting Cowcross Street.

Pedestrian Site Access

The personnel entrance to the site will be established on the Cowcross Street hoarding with all entry on site controlled through a security point. All operatives will receive an entry permit once successfully completing the site induction which will take place on their first visit, prior to commencing activities on site.

The site will have 24-hour full time security in addition to strategically placed CCTV cameras covering each boundary, the site entry points and throughout the service yard.

Dedicated PPE free green routes will be established from the entrance to and throughout the various levels of site accommodation.

Temporary haki type staircases will be erected against the existing structure to provide access to the completed CRL shell roofs which will remain in place and altered as necessary to maintain access until the permanent stairs are made available. A twin cage passenger goods hoist will also be provided on the Cowcross Street elevation to aid personnel movement throughout the building that will be installed in stages with the progress of the structure and remain in use until beneficial use of the permanent lifts is achieved.

Deliveries

All deliveries to site will arrive from the north of the project and be controlled through a central booking in system operated by the logistics company. Initially trade contractors will be required to book deliveries 7 days in advance that will be confirmed 48 hours prior to arrival on site. Tower crane and hoist allocation will be booked at the same time as requesting the delivery slot.

Except for the means of escape from the CRL station at the southern end of the project the Farringdon Road footpath will be closed to pedestrians throughout the construction of the OSD scheme.

An unloading pit lane will be established on the Farringdon Road boundary that will initially entail the full length of the boundary and be shared with the Crossrail project until they handover their facility in December 2018. The OSD project pit lane will be formed over the pavement at the north end of the Farringdon Road boundary prior to the CRL project handing over their pit lane facility. The OSD pit lane construction will incorporate services ducts within the pavement for the new incoming services to allow their installation whilst the pit lane remains in use. Vehicles entering and exiting the pit lane will be managed by traffic marshalls controlling all vehicle movements.

The service yard at the south of the development will be used for concrete deliveries and for minor deliveries once beneficial use of the permanent lifts are achieved and the external hoist removed.

A vehicle holding area will be provided on Farringdon Road, north of the project, to hold vehicles in the vicinity prior to their scheduled arrival time at the pit lane. Each vehicle will be called in by the traffic marshall as the pit lane is made available from the preceding delivery.

Materials Handling

Pick and Carry Mini Crane

Early material handling will be via a pick and carry mini crane, the crane will be sited on the GF slab and will work primarily to unload from the pitlane and lower down materials to the basement.

Tower Cranes

The first tower crane, TC1, will be erected on the existing basement raft and will be utilised to construct the main core and erect the steel frame to the north section of the steel frame. On completion of the steelwork and the main core TC1 will be relocated onto the top of the core to become TC2 and will remain in use until the completion of the building envelope. A second crane, TC3, will be erected on the completed south core founding above the level 3 floor slab to facilitate the southern section of the steel frame.

Beam Hoist Facility (Pit Lane Unloading)

The proximity of the unloading pit lane to the building will prevent the installation of a traditional gantry and consequently the secondary means of unloading will be achieved by the installation of a beam hoist, at the uppermost slab level when installed. A retractable loading platform will be established at second floor level to feed materials to the hoist on Cowcross Street, with a further platform relocated as necessary to feed materials direct to the floor at which they are to be used. The beam hoist will be relocated to the upper levels as each highest floor becomes available.

Materials Hoist

A twin platform passenger goods hoist will be established from ground floor level on the Cowcross Street façade which will serve all floors (excluding basement) with dedicated platforms, one for personnel and the other for materials.

Service Yard Use

To free up the pit lane and maximise unloading capability from the pit lane during concreting activities a pump facility will be established within the service yard accessed from Farringdon Road. Towards the later stages of the project when the external hoist is removed and the pit lane removed the service yard will become the primary means for unloading of deliveries.

Beneficial Use of Lifts

Installation of the lifts will be prioritised to completing the goods lift at the earliest opportunity to allow it to be brought into beneficial use and enable the external goods hoist to be removed and the impacted façade completed. The goods lift will remain in beneficial use until the physical works are complete, when a second lift will be made available to allow the beneficial use lift to be taken out of service and recommissioned for building handover.

The rear service yard will become the primary point for materials deliveries once the external hoist is removed.

Tower Crane Installation

TC 1

TC 1 will be founded on the basement slab constructed under the Crossrail contract with its position strictly defined as set out within the handover documentation. To found the crane it will be necessary to construct plinths onto the basement raft and for this to be achieved it will be necessary to form pockets in the existing basement slab and remove waterproofing to chemically fix reinforcement into the raft structure. Temporary waterproofing will be reinstated around the plinths to maintain the integrity of the basement waterproofing.

The ground floor void for TC 1 has been temporarily infilled and will be removed immediately prior to the installation of the crane. The structure comprises of an in-situ concrete topping on precast concrete planks supported by steel beams spanning the opening. A mobile crane positioned on Farringdon Road (requiring a road closure) will be used to remove the structural elements once the concrete topping has been removed.

The crane will be erected on a cruciform base over a weekend with a mobile crane positioned in Farringdon Road, again requiring a road closure to facilitate its installation.

TC 2

TC 2 will be founded on top of the new main core, again on a kentledge cruciform base set on plinths incorporated into the core roof design and the roof area will be waterproofed in advance of the crane installation. The base and tower sections of the crane will be installed using TC 1 and over a weekend closed the head section of TC 1 will be relocated onto the tower sections of TC 2 to form TC 2 using a mobile crane positioned in Farringdon Road, again necessitating a road closure. The remaining tower sections and base of TC 1 will be removed by TC 2. TC 2 will be dismantled using a mobile crane positioned in Farringdon Road, again necessitating a road closure.

TC 3

TC 3 will be erected on the completed south core, founding above the level 3 floor slab. The base will span between the north and south walls of the core and for this to be achieved a temporary structure will need to be erected off the top of the northern most wall of the south core to provide a level founding platform. The

14 void of the core will be infilled at second floor level to create a weatherproof roof, with drainage connected into the rainwater system, in advance of removing the existing temporary roof structure prior to the installation of the crane base.

TC 3 will be erected and dismantled using a mobile crane positioned in Farringdon Road, again necessitating a road closure on each occasion.

Concrete Core Construction

The current completed Crossrail structure has a temporary waterproof structural infill at ground floor level that will need to be removed to progress the works. The structure comprises of an in-situ concrete topping on precast concrete planks supported by steel beams spanning between the core perimeter concrete walls.

A temporary platform will be erected within the core to the underside of the temporary infill prior to the removal of the concrete topping to expose the precast units. TC 1 will be operational prior to commencing the works and will be used to remove the precast concrete planks and the associated supporting steelwork. The temporary access platform will be removed on completion of the lifting operations.

The lift shaft walls will then be constructed up to ground level with starter bars drilled and chemically fixed into the existing structure. When complete a temporary platform will be constructed at ground floor in advance of setting up the jump form system formwork to construct the walls up to roof level. The lift lobby floor slabs will be constructed when walls are complete up to 3rd floor level and will advance floor by floor progressively as the trailing platform of the jump form system clears the floor above each working level.

Installation of the precast concrete stairs will follow the removal of the jump form system and completion of the lobby and stair landing floor slabs with installation facilitated by TC 1 and when complete core roof will be cast, upstands and plinths formed and the roof waterproofed in advance of TC 2 installation.

Void Space Construction

As part of the main project an auditorium space is to be constructed within the service void above the ceiling of the main escalator well of the Crossrail station. The works will require the modification to the existing access gangways and walkways within the ceiling void to accommodate the new structure which will be reinstated on completion. The works themselves entail the installation of a steel structure with a composite reinforced concrete floor to create the auditorium space.

Access to the work area will be provided by dedicated personnel routes throughout the site from the site accommodation with a dedicated temporary personnel opening formed in the existing external wall of the void space from the service yard area.

An external access platform will be erected along grid G to facilitate the enabling and opening up works for steelwork installation.

A second temporary platform will be erected within the void space supported, from the escalator well ceiling, to provide personnel access and aid materials distribution within the void space.

Void Space Materials Handling

All deliveries will be received at the pit lane on Farringdon Road and transited to the materials access platform adjacent to the void space area by the tower crane. A running rail will be suspended beneath the existing steelwork at the soffit of the void space to distribute and position the main steel members of the new structure. Secondary steel members will be position utilising a small mobile hoist such as a genie hoist.

Void Space Installation Sequence

Works will commence with the creation of the personnel access from the service yard area followed by alterations to the existing servicing gantries within the void space and construction of the internal access platform.

Once the main core wall construction works has progressed up to 3rd floor level the external access platform along grid line G and the materials landing platform will be erected off the ground floor slab.

Completion of the internal access platform will enable the remaining enablement works such as the installation of the running rail beam hoist and preparation of the main truss steel connections to be undertaken.

To facilitate installation of the steelwork it will be necessary to form openings within the existing external wall on grid line G which will require temporary support, designed by a structural engineer and approved by a third party prior to its installation.

Once all preparatory and enabling works are complete the installation of the steelwork can commence with the supporting beams on grid line G and then progress internally at the north end of the void space and work in a southern direction toward the materials delivery point at the south end. Each main steel member will be lifted from the delivery vehicle in the pit lane and transited to the materials platform and landed on wheeled trolleys at either end of the steel. The inner and outer platforms will be at the same level and fully sheeted with plywood to facilitate easy manoeuvring of the steel, manually, from the external platform to its point of installation where the internal beam hoist and running rail will be used to manoeuvre the steel into its final position prior to bolting into place. The secondary steel beams will be distributed in a similar manner but lifted into position with a mobile hoist.

Completion of the steel will then enable the temporary voids on grid line G to be infilled and the associated temporary propping removed in advance of the metal decking, shear studs, reinforcement and finally placing

18 of the concrete. The metal decking will be placed onto the steel when complete and stored prior to being fixed into position following the removal of the temporary propping. Concrete to the slab will be pumped from the delivery vehicle within the service yard.

The internal access platform between the new auditorium slab and escalator ceiling will be lowered on the completion of the metal decking to facilitate installation of fire protection to the new steel beams that will in turn enable the removal of the platform and reinstatement of the void space maintenance gantries on its completion.

Once all works within the void are complete the temporary access openings will be infilled and all associated access arrangements removed from the service yard area.

Steel Erection

To ensure the efficient use of tower cranes during the erection of steelwork the frame will be divided into two primary zones, north and south, split along grid line 4/11. The north zone will be erected by TC 1 and the south zone by TC 3. Each primary zone will be split again into two zones, east and west to ensure continuous steelwork erect throughout frame construction.

The pit lane limitation of one pick point dictates that TC 1 will unload and feed steelwork for TC 3.

The erection process will commence with the preparation of connection plates on the new core and the existing structure in readiness to receive the new frame.

Steel erection will be undertaken in a traditional manner, one zone at a time, in two storey increments, with decking installation undertaken in the adjacent zone of the previously completed section. MEWP frames and netting will be used to provide safe access during the erection process.

Installation will commence at ground floor from the northeast corner and progress westward, completing sections in two storey increments as the works progresses.

Composite Floors and Upstands

Construction of the composite floors will follow sufficient progression of the steel frame commencing when two complete floors of metal deck have been completed above the area to ensure a safe working area whilst steel erection continues. Concrete will be placed using a static pump from the service yard with pour sizes limited to a maximum of 50 m³ to take cognisance of traffic conditions and potential disruption to deliveries.

Construction of the terrace upstands will follow on from the completion of the associated floor slab within each zone of construction.

Façade Installation

Installation of the facades will be undertaken in five distinct phases or stages

o Main façade unitised elements from level 1 to level 6 o Ground floor retail and entrance shopfronts o Glazed façade panels at levels 7 and 8 o Terracotta rain screen cladding to the facades at ground and first floors o Public Artwork façade elements on Farringdon Road

The upper facades of the development will be formed with unitised cladding panels with the units delivered to site and lifted by the tower crane onto preston platforms at each floor level for onward distribution and installation. For installation the units will be positioned utilising vela cranes and manipulators operating from within the floor plates.

Works will commence with setting out and the installation of bracketry as the concrete floors progress above with the installation of the cladding units following the completion of the fifth floor. Installation will commence at first floor level and progress up the building floor by floor and mirror the sequence of the structure commencing at the northeast corner on Cowcross Street, followed by the East elevation, Farringdon Road and then the South elevation.

The uppermost façade level immediately below the terrace floors and the two storey glazed façade at level 8 and 9 will be lifted in to position with the tower cranes.

Each 3m bay comprises of three to four units, depending upon the façade type, a solid floor to floor panel with a vertical terracotta strip, a glazed floor to floor unit, a horizontal terracotta band at floor level and in some bays a vertical floor to floor briquette element. The full panels will be installed first followed by the horizontal and briquette elements.

Roofs and Terraces

Initial waterproofing of the terraces and roof areas will be completed as each area becomes available following completion of the interfacing RC works in advance of the façade cladding activities. The selected system will allow the vapour barrier to be installed to provide a watertight solution and facilitate the erection of façade.

The terrace finishes themselves will progress once the facades are complete above each terrace level.

Office Fit Out

Internal fit out activities will be undertaken in parallel with the installation of the unitised façade following the sequence of the main structure and commence on the completion of the floor immediately above, progressing from the northeast corner, generally advancing in westerly direction, completing at the south west corner.

The fit out will be undertaken in a traditional manner with the high level services commencing with the positioning of the fan coil units and main ductwork runs followed by pipework installations. Duct and pipework installations will be tested, inspected and signed off prior to insulation works followed by electrical containment and cabling activities.

Dry lining of the perimeter walls and columns will follow the completion of the facades on each elevation, undertaken in parallel with the high level services installations. The suspended ceiling grid will be installed following the sign off of the high level services with ceiling service tiles installed as works progress to allow the high level final fix to advance in parallel with the construction of the perimeter margins.

Installation of the raised floors will be undertaken as the final operation within the office floor areas to minimise damage / replacement, reduce temporary protection requirements and provide the best possible finish to the floors for handover.

Works within the toilet core, circulation and lift lobby areas will be progressed in parallel with the office area finishes following the erection of the associated partitions at each floor level and will be undertaken in a similar manner to the office floor plates with the high level services completed in advance of ceiling installation, followed by the wall and floor finishes in advance of final fixtures and fittings in readiness for commissioning of the services systems.

Services Risers

The format and nature of the riser services dictate that they will be installed traditionally rather in prefabricated modules and therefore the grp riser flooring will be installed progressively as part of the reinforced concrete trade package in advance of the services commencing.

The main core risers will progress on the completion of the second floor slab with protection established at third floor level to allow services to progress as construction works continue above. Secondary protection at seventh floor level will be provided as installations advance.

The toilet core risers will progress on the completion of the associated riser walls up to fourth floor level with protection established at fifth floor to allow the services to progress at the lower levels as the riser shaft walls are completed above.

Basement

With the basement plantroom areas providing the initial site accommodation the works at basement level will not progress until the temporary site facilities have been removed. Works will commence with the construction of any plant plinths followed by the installation of main plant equipment in parallel with the blockwork partitions. Plant access leave downs will be provided to ensure ease of movement for the services equipment, which will be infilled following the placement of the main equipment.

Remaining plantroom services installations will progress upon the completion of the procurement activities, associated builders work and the basement partitions.

Incoming utilities service mains will commence upon the completion and sign off of the associated equipment room.

Works within the shower and gym areas will be progressed in parallel with the office washroom area finishes following the removal of the temporary water storage tank, its associated plinths and construction of blockwork dividing walls and will be undertaken in a similar manner with the high level services completed in advance of ceiling installation, followed by the wall and floor finishes in advance of final fixtures and fittings in readiness for commissioning of the services systems.

Reception and Entrance Finishes

Commencement of works within the reception and level 1 areas are dictated by the completion of the office fit out at second floor level to enable the relocation of the temporary site accommodation from the ground floor entrance and level 1 onto that floor.

The works within the areas will be undertaken in a similar manner to the office floor plates with the high level services completed in advance of ceiling installation, followed by the raised floor finishes in advance of final fixtures and fittings in readiness for commissioning of the services systems.

External Works

Progression of the external works on Cowcross Street and Farringdon Road is dependent upon the completion of the facades at ground and first floor, the removal of the goods hoist and removal of the unloading pit lane.

The Cowcross Street element will commence from the station entrance end and progress toward Farringdon Road and will be phased to ensure that the site personnel access is maintained throughout.

The Farringdon Road external works will require the removal of the pit lane in order to undertake the works and will in the main be undertaken during normal site hours with the exception of the kerbside works that will

21 necessitate closure of the southbound cycleway to provide a safety buffer, which may be required to take place outside of site hours but at the very least out side of peak cycleway use which will be agreed with TfL and the local authority highways department in advance of procuring the trade subcontract.

Commissioning and Project Completion

The commissioning programme will be developed during the initial stages of the mechanical and electrical services design and be developed between the services consultant, specialist commissioning manager and the hbreavis services manager. The programme development will be undertaken in parallel with the services design and tailored to suit the requirements of both the installation sequence and the commission-ability of the services systems. The commissioning activities themselves will be undertaken following sufficient completion of the mechanical and electrical services and be carried out on a system by system basis until integration of the various systems is required to prove the building services as an entire system within the BMS environment

3.1 Continuing Design Works

In progress and will be updated in this construction phase plan

3.2 Significant Hazards Identified in the Pre-Construction Information (updated as more information becomes available)

The design team have identified a number of significant hazards associated with the construction works. The following safety hazards are to be addressed in methodologies & risk assessments presented during construction:

 Operations of equipment, plant and vehicles on adjacent public access routes  Movement of personnel and equipment adjacent to public Services.  Occupational health – hand arm vibration, muscular syndrome Wiels Disease  Current site access is in a tenant shared space  Interaction with tenants, public & the road network

Asbestos

New build N/A

Demolition

There will be minimal demolition of some temporary works left over from the cross rail development these will be planned and discussed and agreed with CRL engineers before works commence. All works that require specialist advice will be in place and signed off (Swantons)

Occupational health hazards

There is the possibility of rats and roosting pigeons with potential of Weil’s disease or Psittacosis respectively – no food or drink to be consumed on site outside of welfare facilities. Welfare facilities will be maintained to a good standard with good personal hygiene encouraged and treatment of all open wounds, cuts & scratches etc. Noise, dust and vibration pose both environmental and occupational health hazards – while addressing health concerns the contractors must also address these potential workplace hazards, noise, dust and vibration. Method Statements along with risk assessments will be prepared and will include the

22 provision of hearing protection zones, damping down, respiratory protection (face fitting) and health surveillance as necessary.

The site has always had a full time security under the control of Cross rail. Site visits to the location have not shown the existence of any drug related paraphernalia. Occupational health issues will be highlighted at site induction with more specific requirements identified in method statements / risk assessments setting out controls for these hazards. The site induction will be updated throughout the construction process to keep it current and relevant

Manmade ground, ground water contamination, and pollution

There is no information in the pre-construction information to suggest that any of the above will be a significant risk during the construction process.

Public protection

Will be carried out in compliance with HSE Guidance HSG151- Protecting the public – your next move. Traffic Marshalls and banksmen will be on hand to ensure that no vehicle movements are carried out in such a way that the general public are put at risk.

Traffic, Plant, Pedestrian Movements and Interface with the General Public

All works are confined inside the site perimeter protected by site hoarding. Deliveries will be delivered via Farringdon Road

Compliance with HSE Guidance HSG144 the Safe Use of Vehicles on Construction Sites.

Compliance with HSE Guidance HSG151- Protecting the public – your next move and HSE Guidance Note GS7 – Accidents to Children on Construction Sites.

Delivery Vehicles and Off-Loading / Loading

All drivers will be made aware of delivery routes (possibly with handouts) and abide by site instructions. Materials must be loaded in a way to ease offloading and onward site handling e.g. palletised goods, pre- slung reinforcing and mesh, stillages or crates for flat panels. No persons will be allowed onto the bed of any delivery vehicle unless the vehicle has suitable fall protection measures in place if not any person on the bed of a vehicle needs to be clipped on with a harness to a suitable fall prevention. All vehicular straps will be positioned to the side.

Deliveries to site will be via Farringdon Road. (A materials holding area is yet to be identified.) Pedestrian and vehicle/plant primary routes on site will be segregated where practicable, pedestrian crossings, controlled zones

Services

A temporary water supply has been established from CRL Electricity is via a temporary generator. A permanent source will be available from December 2018

Other potential significant hazards during the construction phase

Manual Handling

Exposure of persons to manual handling activities will be low. Those undertaking manual handling activities will have received training and this will be included in the method statement relating to these works. Where ever possible mechanical aids will be used.

Compliance with HSE Guidance HSG149 Backs for the future, INDG Manual Handling Assessment Charts. (HSE website http://www.hse.gov.uk/msd/mac/index.htm)

Work at Height (Strict compliance with The Work at Height Regulations 2005)

Contractors must minimise the need to work at height and contractors liaise and plan works very closely with HBR to ensure the following all operatives working at height to be harness trained. Ladders / podiums working platforms must be subject to pre-use inspection and a recorded by means of a scaff tag by a competent person. Contractors with personal trained in there use and briefed on risk assessments as appropriate. A permit must be obtained from HBR prior to use.

Moving Objects

A construction site is an ever changing environment; hazards are inherent to this industry and only increase as a construction project progress, as things rise and expand. Construction sites can get quite hectic what with the sheer volume of constantly moving vehicles and trades people – overhead lifting equipment shifting heavy loads, supply vehicles, dumper trucks everywhere, manoeuvring around a usually uneven terrain.

Slips, Trips, & Falls

When considering the diverse range of activities going on at a construction site at any one time slips, trips, are a constant hazard on an almost daily basis. Construction sites are uneven surfaces, buildings at various stages of completion, scaffolding, stored materials and equipment.

Noise

Noise is a major hazard within the construction industry. Repetitive, excessive noise causes long term hearing problems and can be a dangerous distraction, and potentially the cause of accidents. Beware, using simple ear plugs does not necessarily offer total protection against hearing damage – employers are required to carry out and document a comprehensive noise risk assessment – and issue appropriate PPE.

Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome

Hand arm vibration syndrome, or ‘blue finger’ as it is commonly referred to, is a painful and debilitating industrial disease of the blood vessels, nerves and joints, triggered by the prolonged use of vibratory power tools and ground working equipment. This industrial disease is frequently cited in compensation claim cases opened by ex-construction workers who worked for years with little or no protection, using inappropriate and poorly maintained equipment a major factor. Systems to be in place where HAV are recorded and manufactures guidelines followed. Low vibration tools to be used where ever possible.

Airborne Fibres & Materials – Respiratory Diseases

Construction sites are heavy of activity and kick up a lot of dust often invisible, fine, toxic mixture of hazardous materials and fibres that can damage the lungs, leading to diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary, asthma and silicosis.

Simply issuing PPE is not enough employers have a duty to ensure protective equipment is actually used where ever possible those working in dust need to wear face fit testing respiratory dust masks. Failure to do so could render an employee to disciplinary action and in hot water with the health and safety executive.

5.3 Health and Safety Meetings

All trade Contractors must appoint a site-based person with sufficient information instruction training and appropriate supervision and be able to monitor the health and safety of their workforce. The appointed person or his appointed deputy must attend weekly site progress or safety meetings. These appointed personnel will be expected to undertake periodic joint site safety tours.

The meeting objectives will be to promote a proactive safety culture on site by taking account of all aspects and views on health, safety, welfare and the environment ensuring good co-operation and communication to attain the project safety objectives.

Trade Contractors showing a negative attitude to the project health and safety objectives by non-attendance will, if necessary and with reluctance, be served a Non-Conformance Report and may be subject to financial penalty.

Health & Safety will be high on the agenda at trade-contractor progress meetings.

These meetings will review safety performance, safety committee minutes / actions, near miss incidents and accidents, co-ordinating the works ensuring safety considerations are met. Any upcoming high risk activities are planned accordingly. Meeting minutes will note action points required by the various parties, directions will also be given to trade-contractors via site instructions.

5.4 Safety Committee - Workforce Safety Representation

Once the site labour force attains a majority personnel a safety committee made up of site elected safety representatives and/or volunteers from the workforce will meet weekly ensuring the workforce are given the opportunity to raise any issues concerning site safety, welfare or health concerns this meeting will be documented with minutes taken. The committee will be chaired by HBR construction managers, Trade contractors are expected to release personnel to attend this committee without loss of pay. Lessons learnt from accident/ near miss investigations will be disseminated and the meeting kept open and welcoming constructive comments / suggestions.

Meeting minutes will be emailed to all trade contractor’s supervisors/ managers & other stake holders by HB Reavis safety manager.

5.5 N/A

5.6 Design Co-ordination Meetings

All designers/trade contractors undertaking design are required to produce design risk assessments, where any significant risk is identified to either construction personnel or third parties the principal designer is to be advised. All design risk assessments together with discussion of the Health & Safety File content will feature in the Project's Design Co-ordination meeting. The Client and principal designer will be invited to this meeting and will be included on the distribution list for the minutes.

5.7 Safety Improvement Notices

Stop and Act Safety Improvement Notices are used to immediately stop works when a risk to the health and safety of a person/s is observed by any HBR manager. Works are stopped until the appropriate corrective action is implemented. The notices may identify breaches by an individual, supervisor/manager or a company. Breaches and corrective actions are recorded and signed off by Construction Safety Manager and the contractor involved and will remain on file.

5.8 Emergency arrangements

In the event of an emergency situation evacuation will be carried out in accordance with the site logistics emergency plan which will be advised at the site induction. Persons will evacuate site and make their way to the pre-arranged assembly point. In the event of a serious incident the emergency services will be summoned via 999. And the site security guard or a nominated person from HBR management must be notified who will escort members of the emergency services on to site.

6 Monitoring

Monitoring will be carried out to ensure compliance with the requirements of legislation, the Construction Phase Plan, HBR Health & Safety Management System, European/British Standards, Codes of Practice, Guidance Notes, Environmental / Sustainability Targets and all other documents prepared to ensure that safe working procedures are established, i.e. Risk Assessments, Method Statements, Permits to Work, etc.

Relevant documents prepared by persons given specific responsibilities under the Construction Phase Plan will be given to the Project Manager or his nominee who will update the Plan as appropriate. Using his knowledge of the Construction Programme, the Project Manager or his nominee will ensure that he receives and approves all such documentation prior to the commencement of relevant work.

The Health & Safety Adviser will check the Construction Phase Plan and ensure that all such documentation has been taken account of in the Plan, is properly prepared and approved by the Project Director.

The Project Manager or nominee will carry out an inspection of the workplace at least once a shift to ensure that work is being carried out as planned; that risks to the health and safety of the workforce, the general public and any others who may be affected are minimised, that any other foreseeable risks have been addressed and measures implemented to minimise them.

All managers/supervisors etc. will ensure that work under their control is carried out in accordance with the relevant documentation eg hot work permits. Ladder permits etc.

The Company will also use Safety Improvement Notices which will require that work is immediately stopped and not allowed to re-start until health and safety breaches/concerns have been addressed by managers/supervisors responsible for the particular elements of work.

6.1 Trade Contractors

Trade contractors will be subject to monitoring by HB Reavis and will be required to affect their own arrangements for supervising their work. All supervisors must be proactive in ensuring their personnel work safely without being exposed to unnecessary risk or exposing others to unnecessary risk. Contractors must ensure adequate levels of competent supervision at all times, to demonstrate competence site managers and supervisors employed by contractors must be in possession of either SMSTS or SSSTS respectively supervisors must hold an equivalent construction skills card or site operatives must hold a CSCS card NO CSCS CARD NO ADMITANCE OPERATIVES WHO HAVE THEIR PASS CERTIFICATES OR PASS LETTER WOULD BE ADMITTED ON THE BASIS OF PRESENTING THEIR CARD WITHIN 4 WEEKS OF THE LETTER DATE. Should HBR incur additional costs due to the failure of a trade contractor in managing work safely the trade contractor may be charged. All trade-contractors are required to carry out regular Health & Safety Inspections. This may be done by their safety adviser &/or safety supervisor with inspection reports copied to HBR. Trade contractors with design responsibility will also be monitored during design development with regard to safety aspects. Any person smoking / vapeing outside the designated smoking area will be instantly RED CARDED.

All PPE high visibility clothing - vests and/or jackets and safety helmets must bear the name of the Main Contractor that employee works for (Not sub-contractor names). Any plant or equipment (including hired in items) must be easily identifiable to the Contractor designated to use them. Safety helmets to also clearly show operative full name.

SUPERVISORS ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ACTIONS / OMISSIONS OF THEIR PERSONNEL AND ARE REQUIRED TO ADDRESS ANY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT NOTICE (SIN) ISSUED BEFORE WORK IS ALLOWED TO RE-COMMENCE

7.1 Drugs & Alcohol – Also note Site Rules

HBR Employees & subcontractors employees

HB Reavis Construction has a zero tolerance policy on the misuse of alcohol or drugs by all employees’ subcontractors and any other persons associated with HB Reavis construction. The policy sets strict limits and any individual in any part of the business, no matter what sort of work they do, found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs while at work will be subject to disciplinary action. This results in summary dismissal. The policy covers over-the-counter and prescription medication as well as illegal drugs. If an individual voluntarily declares that they have an alcohol or drugs-related problem, then they shall receive the appropriate support.

Our testing programme All HB Reavis employees and sub-contractors are potentially subject to alcohol and drug testing:

Alcohol and drugs testing takes place at random intervals to include the office and construction employees. This is done on a 6 week rotation and we test a minimum of 10% of the staff on site at every visit. Anyone failing a drug or alcohol test on a HBR site will be refused access to all HBR sites from the time of the failure. We also run recreational drug abuse issues as one of our on-site awareness campaigns highlighting the dangers and consequences associated with it. This is used to explain to the trades and operatives why we do what we do and why we take the approach we do. HBR’s approach to Drugs and Alcohol testing (and other HSE issues) is discussed at tender stage and at the pre-start meeting before every trade starts on site. Our random drugs testing regime is also mentioned at every induction

Any employee may be required to undergo alcohol and drug testing if they are involved in a serious accident or incident at work, or appear to be unfit through alcohol or drugs.

New employees must complete a declaration on alcohol and drug use

Employees who refuse to undergo such tests will be subject to immediate dismissal.

How we carry out tests Testing for alcohol and drugs is undertaken by a saliva test the test can identify the following illegal substances.Spice (synthetic cannabis) Screens for the following drugs: Cannabis (Parent THC), Cocaine, Opiates, Amphetamine, Methadone, Benzodiazepines, Buprenorphine, Methamphetamines, Oxycodone, phencyclidine, Synthetic cannabis (alcohol).

What should you do if you suspect someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs? If you suspect someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs at work you should report this to their supervisor/line manager immediately. If you are a line manager and the individual in question is one of your employees, you should contact your HBR package manager to arrange a test. Our alcohol limit Our limit on alcohol is much lower than the drink-drive limit: The Drugs and Alcohol policy covers legal as well as illegal drugs. Employees taking over-the-counter or prescription medication must therefore advise their supervisor/line manager. Appropriate action can then be taken to check that the individual is safe to work and working in a safe environment.

HBR will always strive to improve every element of our H&S processes including drugs and Alcohol.

Where it is suspected that an employee is under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other intoxicating substance e.g. solvents etc. the Company Disciplinary & Grievance Procedure will apply:

 The employee will normally be suspended pending a full investigation  Disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, may be taken following a formal safety meeting.  Where the circumstances are found to be sufficiently serious then intoxication may be viewed as Gross Misconduct. This is particularly where it is seen as a serious breach of the Company Health and Safety Policy.

More information on the Company Disciplinary & Grievance Procedure can be found in the Company Contract file.

Trade Contractor Employees

Trade Contractors are responsible for their own Drugs and Alcohol policies; however HB Reavis reserve the right to bar or remove any Contractors’ employees from our site that are suspected to be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other intoxicating substance e.g. solvents etc.

8 METHOD STATEMENTS/RISK ASSESSMENTS (including Lifting Plans)

HBR assessments are carried out in accordance with Company Procedure. All other Contractors are required to produce project specific assessments for all works included in their Method Statements. Management System. All method statements and risk assessments must be submitted for review at least ten working days before commencement of such work, unless exceptional prior arrangements have been agreed. The work may not commence until reviewed and details of the risk assessment, system of work have been communicated to those carrying out the work. Contractors must provide evidence that this communication and consultation has been undertaken, HBR management will monitor. The onus is on all competent contractors to comply with these requirements and any delays caused by non-compliance will be the responsibility of the contractor concerned.

Contractors must carry out detailed risk assessments for all high risk activities e.g. work at heights, confined spaces, excavations etc.

All risk assessments and method statements are to be kept under continuous review (minimum 3 monthly reviews) ensuring their validity, the review and findings are to be recorded and any changes to be communicated to the workforce. Risk Assessments and Method Statements are retained in the site offices.

9 COSHH ASSESSMENTS – OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

A COSHH Assessment is required for all hazardous materials used on site, safety data sheets must accompany all materials that are brought to site.

All other Contractors are required to produce project specific assessments for all work involving hazardous substances as defined in COSHH Regulations. These assessments and the requisite control measures must be submitted for approval and communicated to the workforce prior to the commencement of such work. Contractors must provide written evidence of this communication and consultation with the workforce has been undertaken.

COSHH Assessments are retained in the site office and attached to the RAMS.

9.1 Health Surveillance

All personnel will be requested at induction to provide information in confidence on their health e.g. whether or not on any form of medication or suffering any disability / phobia etc. Or past condition. Contractors are responsible for the Health Surveillance of their employees in accordance with legislative requirements. Likely requirements for Health Surveillance will include personnel exposed to chemicals, vibration and noise apart from other defined statutory requirements e.g. lead or asbestos workers and night shift workers.

9.2 Waste Management

The requirements for the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 are to be included in Contractor's method statements and a waste register maintained by the waste producer.

Each Trade-contractor is to ensure the correct procurement, storage and handling and use of materials to minimise waste and ensure waste produced is either re-cycled or correctly disposed of. Waste must only be removed from site by licensed carriers in possession of a current certificate of registration this includes COSHH waste. Copies of such certificates should be verified by the contractor and will be subject to HBR verification also. Waste must only be transferred to a disposer licensed to receive the categories of waste involved, with the contractor undertaking spot checks to ensure this happens. Waste transfer notes must be passed to the HBR safety manager or his nominee.

Where practicable; types of waste should be streamed / segregated for re-cycling.

The principles of good housekeeping require that contractors maintain work areas free from collected rubbish/debris and dispose of excess materials and waste in the appropriate way. If contractors fail to control the movement and disposal of waste and debris produced as a result of their activities the Construction Manager will utilise a ‘clean up’ notice system with resulting cost being passed to the contractor involved. All nails are to be removed from timber before disposal.

10 PERMITS TO WORK

Permits to work are operated in specialist circumstances. The completed permits will be filed as per the Construction Phase Plan. Master Listing of Files and form a part of the Plan. Permits include hot works, ladders, electrical isolation & working in a riser.

Where a permit to work system is required Contractors can use their own permit subject to approval by the Project Manager or his nominee. In such instances HBR will monitor procedures.

In addition the Project Manager may identify other areas requiring a Permit System as the project develops

11 FIRST AID ARRANGEMENTS

On commencement of new construction HB Reavis will have trained first aid personnel available during the normal site working hours, Monday to Friday, unless assessment shows minimal risk. The Site Security/Induction Office will contain First Aid Box and an automatic defibrillator initially; as the project develops additional arrangements will evolve with a first aid room added. The First Aid arrangements form part of the site induction, site first aiders details will also be displayed on site notice boards. All First Aid personnel will be identified by First Aid helmet stickers. Trade Contractors are to ensure they have their own trained first aiders cover any specific First Aid requirement e.g. high risk operations / work outside normal site hours/ confined spaces.

11.1 Accommodation & Welfare Facilities

Site welfare facilities will be established in accordance with the CDM regulations 2015 Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and any other associated HSE guidance, facilities will be well ventilated and lit. The facilities will consist of both male and female toilets with lockable doors, facilities will be maintained in good order, including wash facilities, warm running water, a paper towels or hand dryers, changing / drying rooms, canteen and mess room with microwave and drinking water with a suitable supply of vessels, refrigerator, seating with lumbar support, tables for eating food from, where possible segregated from the site.

As construction develops, further welfare accommodation will be phased in &/or relocated to meet the project needs.

HBR will ensure that all facilities are well maintained and kept to a high standard of cleanliness. Site specific Safety Culture posters shall be displayed within welfare areas.

12 INFORMATION, INSTRUCTION TRAINING & APPROPRIATE SUPERVISION

All personnel must attend the HBR Site Health and Safety Induction talk prior to commencing work on site. Visitors will be given an abridged induction which will cover site health and safety issues that they need to be aware of during their visit and requested to identify any health or phobia concerns they have which we may need to address. In addition, while on site, a responsible member of the project team will accompany them. Induction will be carried out by a HBR Manager and will cover the following subjects:

 Relevant legislation/identification of site hierarchy /individual responsibilities  Site Geography & significant hazards  Project Health & Safety Objectives, Considerate Constructors Scheme etc  Environmental requirements/considerations  Consultation arrangements for Health & Safety – Open door policy & approach in confidence stressed  Site Rules

 First Aid Arrangements, Reporting of Accidents and “Near Miss” Incidents  Care & Consideration of the General Public & Neighbours  Interface with other contractors  Personal Protective Equipment  Emergency Procedures/Site Fire Safety & Evacuation Plan  Safety Equipment  Plant, Vehicular routes & works in the vicinity of operating plant.  Access and Egress  Scaffolding  Excavations  COSHH & Asbestos alert procedure  Electricity  Hand Tools  Housekeeping  Welfare Facilities and Hygiene  Risk Assessments/ Method Statements  Permits to Work  Manual Handling MSD Concerns – strains etc.  Occupational Health Concerns – VWF, Dermatitis, Hearing Loss, Weil’s disease etc.

There will also be a tick box questionnaire at the end of the induction any operative who fails to achieve an acceptable level of competence will be refused access to site.

(The list is not exhaustive and inductions will be amended to reflect current work activities)

Future Training – Contractors must undertake their own induction safe starts and toolbox talk on their system of work prior to personnel commencing work. HBR management will require access to such training both to verify the content and where necessary receive appropriate instruction on elements of the contractors work. A programme of regular Tool Box Talks to include refresher training is to be undertaken by Trade contractors, with evidence that Tool Box talks and other identified safety and occupational health training requirements are being addressed presented at safety or progress meetings. It is envisaged there will be a need for joint safety briefings / toolbox talks involving different trades, pooling resources of health and safety professionals and experienced personnel.

Records of onsite safety training should be maintained by each trade contractor, with copies forwarded to HBR.

12.1 Non-English Speaking Personnel

While HBR welcome non-English speaking personnel on site, all are reminded that:

 The site is "English Speaking" in respect of project communications.  All "non-English" speaking personnel must be able to receive English spoken site communications and instructions. This will require their contractor/employer to provide adequate levels of competent supervision who can translate communications and instructions into and from relevant languages(s) of the employer/contractor's workforce.  The standards of safety competence and training requirements within a contractor's workforce are constant for all personnel regardless of native origin and/or language spoken.  The employer or contractor is fully responsible for all additional resources and associated costs required to effect satisfactory levels of "competence and communication" within their workforce.  Where personnel speak or read limited English a risk assessment must demonstrate that measures are in place (at all times) ensuring such personnel are adequately safeguarded and do not pose unacceptable risk to themselves or others.

12.2 HBR Employees

Management and Supervisory staff have received training with records being kept at Head Office and will receive future training as necessary to ensure their competence to perform their duties under the Construction Phase Plan. And as part of the Company commitment to fulfilling the individuals training needs

12.3 Trade contractors

All trade contractors will be required to produce proof of training for their employees prior to commencement on site and personnel will be required to identify training record cards at their site induction. Our objective is to have a fully qualified site workforce and contractors must demonstrate a commitment through the provision of training where necessary, leading to a recognised skill training level. Personnel will not be allowed on site without a UKCG recognised card or they must be able to demonstrate they are working towards this objective. Audits will be undertaken to ensure personnel are continuing to work toward attaining the appropriate card.

All such training must be relevant to their responsibilities on this project; supervisors and managers should have the necessary health and safety training ie SMSTS/ SSSTS health and safety training in addition to possessing appropriate CSCS card.

Regular visitors to site will be expected to hold an appropriate UKCG recognised card also Statutory requirements for training/registration schemes e.g. Gas Safe and NRSWA (street works) must be complied with. In addition all plant operators and scaffolders are required to be in possession of a current CPCS or CISRS record card respectively.

12.4 Records

Safety Training Records are retained in the Induction Training File.

13 REPORTING OF INJURIES, DISEASES AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCES

All accidents, dangerous occurrences and near miss incidents must be reported to HB Reavis. All reportable accidents and dangerous occurrences must be reported to the enforcing authority by the Injured Person's employer/or employer causing reportable dangerous occurrence, in the accordance with the RIDDOR Regulations 2013.HBR management must be notified immediately of such instances, with copies of notification reports and other relevant information being submitted within 24 hours.

HBR Safety Manager will carry out their own investigation to all accidents and the trade-contractor will ensure all appropriate personnel are made available to cooperate in any matter.

Trade contractors must submit a monthly return detailing the above to HBR. All submissions will be fully analysed at the monthly safety meeting to reveal trends and identify prevention measures. Measures implemented following any accident/near miss investigation will be communicated within the safety minutes to all contractors on site.

The reporting of near miss incidents and defective equipment will be notified to all trade contractors’ managers/ supervisors during the site safety meeting to reduce the possibility of accidents and assist in attaining the Project Safety Objectives.

13.1 Relations with neighbours, general public etc

Communication and liaison will be established with neighbours and residents prior to works commencing and will be ongoing throughout the works ensuring good relations are maintained. All will also be kept informed through newsletters of project milestones that will be delivered to local businesses, local residents and stakeholders.

Contact details will be displayed on Considerate Constructor Scheme notices when displayed on site hoarding together with project newsletter and Neighbourhood Liaison Managers’ contact details.

All incidents involving or complaints received from the general public, local businesses etc. must be reported to HBR immediately. Details will be logged together with measures implemented to prevent any reoccurrence or reason given if not attributable to HBR construction activities on the Project.

This log will be available for inspection by all stake holders HBR health & safety manager and Considerate Constructor Scheme Monitors.

14 Site Security

All persons entering the site must satisfy the requirements within Section 12. Visitors are to report to the Project Office and remain there until a suitable escort is arranged. Security requirements will be reviewed and increased as the project develops with the following steps taken to prevent, as far as possible unauthorised entry:-

 Identity passes and/or helmet induction stickers will be issued to personnel in conjunction with induction training. Temporary passes will be issued to visitors.

 All site entrances will be secured outside working hours

 Warning signs will be prominently displayed with protected routes leading personnel and visitors to site office and welfare compound.

15 CONSULTATION WITH EMPLOYEES AND SELF-EMPLOYED

15.1 To ensure effective consultation safety representatives and workforce volunteers are invited to the Safety Meeting identified in Section 5.3 along with appointed safety personnel. Minutes of their discussions will be posted in appropriate positions so that the general workforce can be informed and arrange for their views to be heard.

15.2 HB Reavis fully supports the Build UK Contractors Group Health and Safety Charter and is committed through the Group Health and Safety Strategy to ensuring effective consultation on health and safety issues is carried out with all on its projects. HBR employees will be consulted directly on matters relating to their health and safety. Consultation with other members of the project team will take place at project level via project and safety meetings, at work gang level through tool box and method statement / risk assessment briefings. An "open door" policy ie access to Health and Safety Advisor, Safety Supervisor or any member of the Management Team will be available to cater for individual requirements. Views to be discussed will include:-

a) Measures which could substantially affect employees’ health and safety.

b) Arrangements to nominate people to assist in health and safety duties.

c) Information provided to employees in accordance with legislation.

d) Provision of health and safety training required by legislation.

e) Consequences of new technology.

All trade-contractors should define their procedures for implementing the Health & Safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations 1996 within their Health and Safety Plan for the Project. Evidence will be required confirming compliance.

16 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

All plant and equipment must be regularly serviced and maintained with records, including test certificates, retained in the site office. Contractors should forward copies of all statutory plant test certificates to the Principal Contractor and maintain appropriate registers of scaffolding, lifting gear, MEWPS, access towers, ladders etc in their site office which must be available for inspection by HSE or HBR management. Contractors are required to keep records of statutory inspections on site of all plant and equipment covered by the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 & Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. Trade contractors who subcontract out any of their work must ensure their subcontractors implement and maintain appropriate inspection regimes for plant/work equipment with records readily available for audit/viewing.

All plant and equipment including hired in equipment must be easily identifiable to a contractor.

All fuelled mechanical plant must have drip trays etc. to guard against oil leaks/ fuel spillage contaminating the ground and/or water courses and drainage systems.

Where the use of vibration hand tools cannot be avoided either by designing out or employing alternative systems of work then contractors must select tools, systems of work etc. to take account of vibration and noise levels and minimise the effect to the users and personnel in the vicinity. These must fully address the possibility of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome and Noise Induced Hearing Loss, HSE Guide, Reducing Noise at Work L108, Hand – Arm Vibration and Guidance on the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations L140 respectively.

Attention must also be given to personnel exposed to whole body vibration – ensuring measures are in place to eliminate/reduce associated occupational health concerns. HSE publication “In the driving seat” INDG 242 provides advice with further advice on both hand – arm and whole body vibration available at www.hse.gov.uk/vibration.

17 PROJECT REVIEW

Internal Project Reviews will be carried out in accordance with company procedure.

18 HEALTH AND SAFETY FILE INFORMATION

Contractors are required to provide information for the Health and File as they complete their works. This information is to be provided in the format and structure detailed by the Client and will be collated for the Building Manual, incorporating the Health & Safety File in liaison with the CDM advisor, for eventual handover to the Client.

Such information will include:

PROJECT RECORDS e.g. As - built drawings, design criteria, materials and construction methods used.

PROJECT DIRECTORY e.g. Design Consultants, Contractors & Material suppliers.
