  • Demolition Attachment Guidance Notes
    DEMOLITION ATTACHMENT GUIDANCE NOTES 1 www.demolition-nfdc.com DRG118:2018 INTRODUCTION The National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) is represented on the British Standards subcommittee which prepares the code of practice for demolition (BS6187) and is, along with the Institute of Demolition Engineers (IDE), The Voice of the Global Demolition Industry. Founded in 1941 to help spearhead London’s post-Blitz clean-up campaign, the NFDC’s members are responsible for more than 90% of all demolition that takes place in the UK. Today, the NFDC is committed to establishing safe working practices for its members and to represent their interests in areas such as training, safety, the environment, waste management,industry guidance, legislative changes and codes of practice. However, in researching and preparing the information contained within this document the NFDC cannot be held responsible for its subsequent use, nor for any errors or omissions it may contain. Directors, managers and operatives who are required to work with, manage or supervise the use and or maintenance of demolition attachments, must carry out a risk assessment prior to the commencement of such work. The risk assessment should identify any hazards that may be associated with the use and or maintenance of such equipment and the likelihood of harm occurring from those or other related activities. In the event that risk assessment may identify a hazard, adequate and suitable control measures must be implemented prior to commencement of any such work. Details of NFDC

  • Safety, Health and Welfare on Construction Sites: a Training Manual
    Grateful thanks are due to the Joint Industrial Safety Council of Sweden for the use of figures 33, 38, 43, 44, 45, 47 and 54, which are taken from the training manual Safety, health and working conditions (Stockholm, 1987). The International Programme for the Improvement of Working Conditions and Environment (PIACT) was launched by the International Labour Organization in 1976 at the request of the International Labour Conference and after extensive consultations with member States. PIACT is designed to promote or support action by member States to set and attain definite objectives aiming at “making work more human”. The Programme is thus concerned with improving the quality of working life in all its aspects: for example, the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases, a wider application of the principles of ergonomics, the arrangement of working time, the improvement of the content and organization of work and of conditions of work in general, and a greater concern for the human element in the transfer of technology. To achieve these aims, PIACT makes use of and coordinates the traditional means of ILO action, including: – the preparation and revision of international labour standards; – operational activities, including the dispatch of multidisciplinary teams to assist member States on request; – tripartite meetings between representatives of governments, employers and workers, including industrial committees to study the problems facing major industries, regional meetings and meetings of experts; – action-oriented studies and research; and – clearing-house activities, especially through the International Occupational Safety and Health Information Centre (CIS) and the Clearing-house for the Dissemination of Information on Conditions of Work.

  • Strategies for Effective Management of Health and Safety in Confined Site
    Strategies for Effective Management of Health and Safety in Confined Site Construction John Spillane, (Queen’s University Belfast, UK) Lukumon Oyedele, (University of West of England, UK) Abstract The overall aim of this research is to identify and catalogue the numerous managerial strategies for effective management of health and safety on a confined, urban, construction site. A mixed methods methodology was adopted using interviews and focus group discussions on three selected case studies of confined construction sites. In addition to these, a questionnaire survey was used based on the findings from the interviews and the focus group discussions. The top five key strategies include (1) Employ safe system of work plans to mitigate personnel health and safety issues; (2) Inform personnel, before starting on-site, of the potential issues using site inductions; (3) Effective communication among site personnel; (4) Draft and implement an effective design site layout prior to starting on-site; and (5) Use of banksman (traffic co-ordinator) to segregate personnel from vehicular traffic. The construction sector is one of the leading industries in accident causation and with the continued development and regeneration of our urban centres, confined site construction is quickly becoming the norm - an environment which only fuels accident creation within the construction sector. This research aids on-site management that requires direction and assistance in the identification and implementation of key strategies for the management of health and

  • RR1082 Research Report
    Health and Safety Executive The effectiveness of HSE’s regulatory approach: The construction example Prepared by Frontline Consultants for the Health and Safety Executive 2016 RR1082 Research Report Health and Safety Executive The effectiveness of HSE’s regulatory approach: The construction example Mike Webster and Helen Bolt Frontline Consultants Central Court 25 Southampton Buildings London WC2A 1AL Prepared in December 2013 This project has examined the effectiveness HSE’s approach to regulation of the construction sector since 2001. HSE provided a catalyst for change – utilising its unique information on the industry and expertise in understanding reasonably practicable control to support risk creators in their control of these risks. HSE worked through the supply chain by engaging and acting in partnership with those able to bring about widespread change – such as company directors, or strategic bodies focused on particular interest groups or sectors. New broader intervention approaches were designed to allow HSE to engage appropriately at critical points in the supply chain. In light of HSE’s work with the construction industry - and the industry’s efforts to take responsibility and make good health and safety a priority - substantial improvements in health and safety management and performance can be identified. A number of key messages are identified, to be considered in the application of such approaches to other industry sectors. These are necessary elements to enable effective engagement with a sector and for the sector to take up the mantle to ‘be part of the solution’ and achieve sustained improvement in health and safety performance. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

The project is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and aims to collect oral history testimonies from construction workers who were employed on five of the highest profile sites and developments of that era: Stevenage New Town; Barbican development, City of London; South Bank arts complex; Sizewell A power station; and the M1 motorway. The aim of the research is both to gain a greater understanding of the processes of change within the construction industry during these decades and to highlight the role that construction workers played in the creation of the post-war built environment. For more information see project website buildingworkersstories.com The researchers on the project are: Christine Wall, Linda Clarke, Charlie McGuire and Olivia Muñoz-Rojas The research for this pamphlet was conducted during August 2010-April 2012.
