Page 6 of 53

6.0 INITIAL VISUAL ASSESSMENT: 6.1 The Site, surrounding area and structure of the building has been visually assessed prior to this method statement and risk assessments being prepared and issued, the buildings onsite are primarily: • Superstructure: reinforced concrete frame • Elevation infills: Brick / blockwork cavity • Upper Floors : Reinforced concrete • Ground floor : Reinforced Concrete • Stair cores : Reinforced Concrete • Anticipated Foundation design : Piled / reinforced strip

HOLD POINT – The site is subject to some issues which will need to be issues as a result of its derelect state. Prior to commencement the site will need the following which will be carried out by SJB

• Full environmental clean required to remove pigeon guano which has built up over the years the building has laid empty. The work will be carried out by suitably experienced operatives wearing PPE and RPE to the same standards as that which is required for Asbestos works. A disinfectant such as ORNIKILL will be sprayed onto the guano to kill any microbials or pathogens and then the waste can be removed to waste bags. Will will be removed to a suitably prepared waste receiver or recipient.

• The site also has several loads of ‘FLY TIP’ which will need to be checked, processed and removed. Care should be talken to check for the presence of asbestos or other specialist wastes such as hyperdermics or medical wastes. Once satisfied the waste can be removed to a licenced waste receiver/processor

6.2 FURTHER STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT 6.3 Prior to Demolition works Commencing, site supervisor and his team of appropriately Skilled Knowledgeable and Experienced operatives, will inspect the building’s / structure’s, site and local conditions to confirm the details of this method statement are the most appropriate and mitigate the potential risk, as far as practical, associated with the work activity. Particular note should be taken of items such as footpaths, proximity of existing structures, safety considerations and advice / instruction from engineers, changing condition & original construction of the structures etc.

Page 7 of 53

7.0 CHANGES TO METHOD 7.1 Changes to this method statement will be recorded as necessary by the appointed Person: Site supervisor or author of this document , to fully account for changes to the method. 7.2 Additional Advice form engineers should be sought for major changes to proposed demolition of complex structures. 7.3 Site supervisor will deliver Tool box talks to reflect changes to this method statement and ensure all personnel fully understand the changes and implications of such changes. Tool box talks will be recorded and signed by all operatives to acknowledge understanding of the changes and implications.

8.0 REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS (ACM’s) 8.1 Prior to soft strip Site supervisor (appropriately competent) shall identify all asbestos materials known to be onsite as identified in the survey. Items identified in the asbestos survey as containing asbestos, (which are easily accessible) will be marked accordingly by means of an easily identifiable method such as spray paint or marker pen so as to alert operatives to the potential of asbestos materials. The site supervisor shall communicate to all persons using the site, the location and general type of identification employed to identify such areas.

9.0 LICENSED ASBESTOS identified in the Pre-demolition asbestos surveys noted above. A Licensed Contractor will undertake the work in accordance with their separate method statement. Their work will be in full compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 , their procedures for management and works with asbestos and their license conditions with the Asbestos licensing Unit & HSE. 9.1 Following a satisfactory independent 4-stage clearance process for each area, a certificate of re-occupation will be issued by an independent asbestos analyst to the contractor, The contractor will issue the certificate to the site supervisor accordingly, On issues of the certificate of re-occupation the areas will be formally deemed to have been handed back to SJB to commence demolition, unless specifically stated otherwise by the licensed asbestos contractor. 9.2 Copies of Clearance Certification and waste transfer notes should be provided to site as soon as practical completion of each area. Site supervisor to place copy in site file

10.0 AREAS CONTAINING NON-LICENSED ASBESTOS: 10.1 Operatives actively removing ACM’s will be Skilled Knowledgeable and appropriately trained. 10.2 All work with ACM’s will be in full compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 . 10.3 Operatives will wear appropriate RPE such as Orinasal FFP3 masks (minimum) for which they will have been face fitted and certified for. Operative will wear disposable paper coveralls for work with asbestos, coveralls will comply with the following as a minimum: Category 3 (complex clothing) Type 5 (fibre resistant) Overalls shall have elasticated hoods, wrists and ankles, double sewn joints and shall be closed by a zip. Site supervisor: Ensure a sufficient quantity of the correct size of overalls are available on site at all times. General purpose gloves will be available for all operatives to use on all sites. Site Supervisor: ensure sufficient quantity available on site at all times. Boots with laces shall be avoided or over boots will be worn.

Page 8 of 53

10.4 Site supervisor: Issue operatives appropriate protective clothing for the nature of the contract, ensure stock is checked at least once per day, as a minimum, order replacements to maintain correct site stock levels. 10.5 Contaminated clothing or PPE MUST NOT be taken into any “clean area”. All contaminated clothing and PPE must be placed in appropriate asbestos bags and securely taped to prevent escape of dust. Overalls shall be disposed of as contaminated waste. 10.6 Asbestos containing materials will be removed in accordance with the Control of asbestos regulations 2012 . 10.7 The control limit of 0.1f/m3 will not be exceeded as a result of our works. 10.8 Removal will take place in well ventilated areas and is of sporadic nature and low intensity, concentration levels in the air are not likely to exceed 0.04f/ml of air measured over a 10 minute period. This has previously been demonstrated for this type of work. 10.9 Site supervisor will inspect each area of asbestos and decide whether the work is “Notifiable” Non licensed works (NNLW) using the decision flow chart below:

10.10 All Non licensed works carried out on “ACM’s” are firmly contained within a matrix (another material) such as cement or plastic, they are generally “weathered” and in good condition, non-friable and are not likely to become deliberately broken as a result of the works unless specifically stated in this method statement.

Page 9 of 53

10.11 The site supervisor will assess all ACM ’s to ensure they are in Good condition and not friable before operatives start work, this should be carried out at the time of identification of items against the asbestos survey. 10.12 Should the Site supervisor feel the works are Notifiable Non Licensed Works (NNLW) – the online form ASB NNLW1 will be completed and submitted to the HSE via its website? Works can start immediately and need not be delayed. 10.13 All works involving asbestos removal will be sufficiently damped down prior to commencement and as work progresses. 10.14 Dilute surfactant will be applied to supress dust. Care will be taken to avoid over application of surfactant causing slip hazards. 10.15 Site supervisor to constantly monitor removal operations / damping down and provide additional measures as may be necessary to delineate the working area(s) by simple measures such as zebra tape, fencing / signage, as appropriate to highlight the work areas & prevent accidental access into the area whilst machinery is operating. 10.16 Site supervisor to conduct a tool box talk s as required to highlight changes to this method statement and any additional issues and risks to operatives and users of the site. 10.17 No work on textured coating is anticipated during the works. 10.18 Soft stripping will be undertaken to remove items from the areas to create a clear working area, items such as carpet tiles will be removed prior to removal works to make the area easier to clean, pre-cleaning will be carried out prior to removal to create a clean area ready for removal to commence and ensure dust is kept to a minimum. 10.19 Control measures will be employed to reduce the potential for fibre exposure to a minimum: Damping down will be carried out prior to and periodically during removal to help control dust. 10.20 Care will be taken not to overspray suppressant , thus avoiding the potential for causing a slip hazard. Should the area become slippery work should cease until the surface has dried sufficiently for works to commence safely or the suppressant has been removed sufficiently to still control fibre release and allow works to commence safely. Spilt wetting agent will be clean up immediately before proceeding, to prevent slips. 10.21 Site supervisor will monitor all removal operations, ensuring correct removal methods are being employed, correct damping down etc. Where necessary the site supervisor will ensure additional measures are employed as may be necessary, such as delineate the working area(s) by simple measures such as zebra tape, fencing / signage etc. as appropriate to highlight the work area and prevent accidental access into the area whilst removal is in progress. Site supervisor to conduct tool box talks as and when required. 10.22 Operatives will inspect the area prior to and during removal to ensure any obvious fragments of asbestos debris resulting from the works are handpicked and placed in asbestos waste sacks, sealed and removed to appropriate skip, before being removed from site to an appropriate licensed tip. Consignment Notes shall be provided to the client for all waste leaving site. 10.23 Asbestos waste sacks will be sealed with a swan neck and taped securely, before being deposited in to an appropriate skip, prior to removal from site to a licensed waste facility. 10.24 Where possible and safety is not an issue Cement based roof structure will be fully removed prior to machine demolition commencing. Sheets will be removed whole as possible by cutting the fixings securing the sheets to the roof structure, from the underside, by means of mechanical croppers or similar, sheets will be accessed via hops ups, aluminium towers and MEWP’s internally as is appropriate for the roof height. Care will be taken to ensure the cement based sheets remain as intact as possible. Once the sheets have been removed to ground level, they will be loaded to appropriate skips for removal from site to licensed tip

Page 10 of 53

facility when full. (Periodic damping down will be carried out whilst the cement based material is being moved ). 10.25 Works will be planned, wherever possible, to ensure cement based asbestos is loaded to skips as works progress & avoid sheets being left on the ground out of site working hours. 10.26 The site supervisor will constantly assess the risk associated with all sheet removal, using the hierarchical risk assessment pertaining to individual buildings, changing site and weather conditions, risks associated with manual handling and working at height, where it is deemed necessary for safety reasons he will consult with the author of this document, SJB management who will consult with the company H&S advisors accordingly. Changes the method statement will be updated to reflect such changes and tool box talks will be delivered to all operatives onsite. In this instance the site supervisor will re-assess and where necessary notify the HSE using from ASB NNLW1 – (work can start immediately and need not be delayed). 10.27 Where possible skips will be placed as close as possible to the work activity to minimise the distance materials have to be moved. 10.28 Known ACM’s will be fully removed prior to machine demolition commencing.

10.29 SUSPECT ASBESTOS MATERIAL and unforeseen Hazards - Unknown Occurrence – On discovery of suspect material, suspend works in the immediate vicinity, remove all personnel from the area affected and decontaminate all personnel potentially affected, avoid disturbing suspect material, create an exclusion zone around the area, if possible and no further risk will be introduced; cover and seal the affected area. As soon as practical give notice to SJB management and or Principal contractor to allow further investigation, identification and assessment of the material and potential risks. – See section below “ACCIDENTS INCIDENTS AND EMERGENCIES”

11.0 SOFT STRIP, CLEARANCE GENERALLY & SEGREGATION OF WASTE: 11.1 Soft strip of the building will be carried out by hand to remove loose items fixtures fittings & chattels, to prepare the buildings for machine demolition. Operative will wear appropriate PPE & RPE for the task being undertaken. 11.2 Items removed during the soft strip will be placed in skips, as far as reasonably practicable waste will be separated on a like-for-like basis and placed in separate skips. Clean Wood General rubbish Ferrous Metals Non-Ferrous metals

12.0 DEMOLITION: 13.0 A sub station exists on site which is to remain and be protected from damage for the duration of the contract. 13.1 Should the constructions of the buildings differ from the initial inspections and construction listed above, the site supervisor will consult with the relevant personnel to determine and formulate an alternative methodology required. This method statement will be amended accordingly, fully taking account of the condition & construction of the building, site specific issue and the surrounding area & local weather conditions. 13.2 Site supervisor will constantly assess changing site conditions and potential risks , Tool box talks will be delivered to all site operatives, as and when necessary, to communicate changes to the methodology and highlight additional risks / issues that may present themselves during the course of the works, he will plan the works to minimise risk. He will deploy appropriate measures such as zebra tape, barriers, signage and fencing to create exclusion zones as necessary, to prevent third parties and operatives from inadvertently entering into demolition areas & drop zones that could cause harm as a result.

Page 11 of 53

13.3 NB : Where structure are in close to the Existing foundations to party walls, in close proximity to culverts, live services, retaining structures will be removed where practical and if possible where no potential problems may result from the removal .

13.4 Standard Hierarchy of control measures will be applied to control hazards at source:

13.5 The structure of the building’s will be demolished from the top down , unless specifically stated otherwise in the method statement, to ensure the remaining structure does not pose a risk of uncontrolled collapse, the block / brick work walls & floors will be demolished as works progress, 13.6 Demolition will be carried out using a long reach excavator working from ground level. The demolition excavator has a suitable reach to safely demolish the building whilst ensuring that debris does not leave the site. 13.7 Roof structures will be removed in section as required to progress the works safely and provide access to facilitate further demolition of walls etc . 13.8 Particular attention will be paid by operatives and supervisors, so as not to overload floors with demolition arising’s thus preventing uncontrolled collapse, periodic clearance of the demolition arising’s sited on the floors will take place by “sweeping” the arising’s from the floors with the processing attachment fitted to the machine. 13.9 Once buildings have been reduced, in height, sufficiently a demolition excavator will reduce the structure to ground slab level. 13.10 The superstructure of the building(s) will be folded in to the existing foot print ensuring a stable structure is maintained. 13.11 Machines will be under the control of Skilled Knowledgeable and Experienced operatives . 13.12 Dust suppression will be employed , to minimise the release of dust during the demolition process. 13.13 Wheels of Vehicles leaving site : where deemed necessary will be cleaned with a jet washer prior to leaving site, to prevent deposits of mud , slurry and other debris being taken onto the public highway 13.14 Machine Demolition will be facilitated by a demolition machine, fitted with an appropriate attachment such as multi tool processor & rotation grab, 13.15 Ground slabs will be removed by Excavator fitted with the most appropriate attachment such as bucket, breaker etc. 13.16 Ground slabs will be inspected prior to removal to ensure boundary / retained walls and structures will not be affected by the removal of the ground slab. Where it is deemed that

Page 12 of 53

removal of the slabs may adversely affect the retained structures the client will be informed accordingly and the ground slab will be left in-situ 13.17 Ground Slabs will be removed in a sequence to minimise the need for washing of vehicle wheels prior to leaving site, where possible hardstands will be left as intact as possible to maintain “clean” access onsite. 13.18 Foundation / obstructions will be removed by Excavator machine fitted with the most appropriate attachment such as bucket, breaker etc. in the area of the existing buildings: After removal of the ground slabs all visible obstructions to u/s of existing slabs are to be removed, once all visible obstructions are removed the ground will be probed to 1.0m deep, if no further obstructions are found no further action will be necessary. 13.19 In the instance that obstructions are encountered at a depth greater than specified above , the client will be contacted to allow them to record the locations and advise if further action is required.
Where Foundations are to be removed the resulting voids will be filled with as dug materials from the site.
Crushing arising’s: Client has requested concrete and hard-core arising’s resulting from the removal of the slabs, foundations etc. to remain onsite, to be crushed to heaps onsite for use by others. • Once sufficient material suitable for crushing has been produced it will be stockpiled onsite in suitable areas to allow processing to commence.
Concrete arising's to be crushed; Crusher Run (75mm down).
SJB to deposit Heaps of unprocessed arising's into convenient heaps close to the demolition area where the material originated.
when sufficient qty of unprocessed material has been stockpiled, it will be processed locally onsite; • Large sections of concrete will be pre-processed using a machine fitted with a concrete pulveriser. • The concrete will be processed to an appropriate size to facilitate loading into a concrete crusher for processing to “crusher run” (75mm down).
No allowance has been made for, moving, distribution or consolidation of heaps from around the site or provide testing and certification of crushed arising's (as agreed with the client)
All crushing activity will be monitored in accordance with the Local authority licensing conditions.
Damping down will take place to avoid unnecessary nuisance dust, typically this will be via factory fitted integral water suppression devices fitted to the crusher (operated from hoses connected directly to the machine). Additionally the site supervisor will constantly assess the crushing operation and advice additional measures that may be required such as operatives using hand held hoses ensuring stockpiles of materials are damped down sufficiently to prevent nuisance dust.

13.20 Arsing’s not recycled at site, will be loaded to skips as works progress for removal form site. 13.21 Waste consignment notes will be retained by the Site Manager and handed to the Client at the end of the demolition phase as part of the Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) if appropriate. 13.22 Site will be cleared of all debris and leveled.

13.23 SJB / Clients Environmental Code should be followed at all times whilst working on this site – see details in Pre-construction H&S file – If clarification is needed contact SJB management.

Page 13 of 53

13.24 Potential Contamination : SJB to provide a watching brief for potential contaminated ground and advise the client accordingly if dark stained or strange smelling ground is encountered. Works will cease in any localised areas until assessment has been made by the client’s representative and a remedial action has been agreed.

19.0 EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID ARRANGEMENTS

All site operatives will be inducted on arriving at site by the principal contractor Actions in the event of emergencies will be detailed at this time. It is impossible to give a full list of possible incidents and possible courses of action which may occur onsite, due to their diverse nature the seriousness of the situation and the potential for immediate danger / impact that may have with regards to medical aid, however as a general guide the following should be instigated as general instruction and guidelines. The preservation of life is paramount . The following is for guidance purposes:

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE : - Anyone discovering a fire must raise the alarm • Operatives will respond as per the instructions from the site supervisor, issued during induction .

Page 15 of 53

• Switch off all plant and equipment (if possible). • Attempt to put the fire out with the appropriate firefighting equipment, only if that is possible without personal risk. • Evacuate all personnel within the immediate danger area. • Assemble at the Assembly Point as designated by the site supervisor or detailing the method statement, remain there until instructed otherwise by a fire officer, SHE Adviser or a member of management or the principle contractors nominated representative. • Check all operatives are accounted for , Site Manager / appointed person to carry out the head count. Report missing persons to the Site Manager and Emergency services

ACCIDENTS INCIDENTS AND EMERGENCIES MAY INCLUDE: • An employee suffering an injury, collapsing or suffering serious accident; • Emergency evacuation of the building, e.g. due to a fire: or • An uncontrolled release of asbestos, accidental exposure to suspect harmful substances or dust. • In the instance of potential asbestos exposure under the control of licensed contractor the licensed contractors emergency procedures and instructions should be followed.

Co-operation with emergency services is paramount , sufficient information and instruction should be made available to the emergency services so that when attending a relevant incident they can properly protect themselves against further risk.

Operatives at the scene of the accident should assess the incident as best as possible and identify the immediate needs of those involved, the aim is to ultimately preserve life.

The following points are guidelines for operatives involved in an emergency situation. Preservation of life is paramount.

• Raise the alarm – this may be under the control of the principal contractor – Details of the site specific method of raising the alarm & evacuation procedures will be conveyed at site induction. • Appointed person will be nominated for the site (at least one employee), who will take charge of the situation if a serious injury or major illness occurs. (It may be appropriate to nominate a deputy in the instance that the nominated person becomes unable to dispense their duties). This will be arranged at site induction. • Before any work commences , the “Appointed Person” , if not working in the area will inform operatives, of his expected whereabouts for that particular work period. • In case of an emergency (medical, services, safety etc.) only those who have received appropriate training, are properly protected, and are under the supervision of the site manager / supervisor (or appointed deputy) will be allowed entry into a restricted area such as an asbestos enclosure. • Should an accident occur to an operative in a restricted working enclosure an assessment shall be made to see if the injured person, with the assistance of work colleagues can be led out of the enclosure and complete a full decontamination. The “ Appointed Person” or deputy shall be contacted for further action to be taken. • Should a serious injury occur where it may be considered necessary for others to help to move the injured person to preserve life; the “Appointed Person” or deputy is to be contacted immediately? He will then decide what appropriate & immediate action is necessary. Local first aider shall also be contacted informing them of the occurrence.

Page 16 of 53

• Urgency of the need to provide medical attention and where the attention is best delivered, shall be assessed by the “appointed person” and considered in relation to any decontamination procedures. • The injured person should, if possible, be transported to the medical or first aid facility, accompanied by the site supervisor or appointed person. Medical staff must be made aware if the person is potentially in a contaminated condition such as with asbestos fibres.

UNCONTROLLED RELEASE OF SUSPECT ASBESTOS FIBRES: The preservation of life is paramount, cross contamination should be considered fully. • Although it may be important to remove operatives from a potentially contaminated area, the emergency procedure should be conducted efficiently and without panic. • Under no circumstances should operatives take potentially contaminated clothing including foot wear offsite, home or into vehicles and enclosed spaces. This will put others at risk of contamination. • Contaminated clothing cannot be washed to decontaminate by normal means, all potentially contaminated clothing must be disposed of as contaminated waste to licensed facility. • Clothing worn inside the work area should, where possible and if injury will not result, be thoroughly wetted with water to reduce the potential release of airborne fibres at the earliest possible opportunity. • All potentially contaminated items of clothing / overalls must be placed into a polythene bag and sealed with tape (or airtight containers) for disposal to licensed waste facility. • Under no circumstances should potentially contaminated operatives leave site until they have removed all clothes, shoes etc., carried out decontaminated as best as possible and donned a coverall. • Raise the alarm by calling to others – do not allow others to enter the vicinity. • Operatives at the scene of the accident should assess the incident as best as possible and identify the immediate risks & needs of all involved, the aim is to ultimately preserve life and reduce risk to others through cross contamination. • Appointed person take charge of the situation. • Operatives should leave the vicinity as soon as practical after considering possible cross contamination issues. • If possible and providing it is practicable, operatives should place clean coveralls on top of working clothes to contain any further spread of contamination. Other measures such as damping down noticeable residues before leaving the area or removing contaminated clothing at the scene should be considered. Donning clean RPE etc. • Under no circumstances should operative remove masks or respiratory they may have been wearing at the time or the incident, until they are well clear of the area where the potential contamination occurred. Where possible Respirators / masks should be thoroughly wetted & or wiped down with a damp cloth, prior to removal to remove all potential residue. • If a licensed contractor is onsite contact should be made with them at the earliest possible opportunity, to take charge and provide instruction for the decontamination of operatives, containments and clean-up of the area. • All necessary action must be taken to ensure unprotected persons are kept away from the area whilst evacuation of operatives is taking place. • If a person is injured they should, if possible, be transported to the medical or first aid facility, accompanied by operatives in clean clothing, the medical staff must be made aware that the person is potentially in a contaminated condition. • Operative should shower for at least 10minutes at the first opportunity (if possible at site).

Page 17 of 53

• Where licensed asbestos removal staff are present at site they should be contacted to give advice and assist any decontamination. • After all personnel or clear of the area the Principal contractor should be immediately informed of the potential contamination. • The principal contractor should secure the area as best as possible, to prevent access to the area without the use of appropriate PPE , RPE and training (such as licensed contractor) • The Principal contractor should attempt to seal the area, with Polythene sheeting, to further reduce and prevent the spread suspect fibres. • Principal contractor should arrange emergency air samples to be taken, within the affected area to ensure that the area is free from airborne respirable asbestos fibres and establish the possible exposure levels. • Sample of the suspect materials should be taken by a Skilled Knowledgeable and Experienced person and sent to UKAS accredited laboratory for independent analysis. • Results of all findings should be made available to all affected. • Where the incident area is under the control of a principal contractor the reporting requirement is likely to be part of their responsibilities. A ll such instances must be reported to Managing Director, regardless of whom is the principal contractor. • Site supervisor / appointed person to report all such instances to the Managing Director, as soon as practical after any such occurrence at work. The Accident / Incident Reporting procedure will be initiated.

The location of the nearest A&E Hospital will be communicated to all operatives during the induction:

Queen Elizabeth Hospital Stadium Road London Greater London SE18 4QH

18.0 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, COSHH & ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS There will be no requirement for Health Surveillance for site operatives unless :

• Vibration Exposure Actions Values are regularly exceeded during the works – so far as reasonably practicable it is our intention not to exceed the EAV of 2.5m/s² over an 8-hour shift • Asbestos Control limits are reached – it is not anticipated that the control limits will be reached – operations have previously been assessed confirming levels well below control limits. • Notifiable non-licensed work or NNLW , requires employers to: ensure medical examinations are carried out Operatives carrying out NNLW asbestos removal will have current medical examinations; By 30 April 2015, all workers carrying out NNLW will need to have had a medical examination. Examinations will then need to be repeated at least every 3 years , as long as the worker continues to do NNLW.

Substances Hazardous to Health Assessments

• Brick Dust • Diesel • Petrol • Hydraulic Oil • Engine Oil • 2 Stroke Fuel

Explanation of changes to Coshh since June 2015:

CHIP Regulations : The old CHIP Regulations were revoked from 1 June 2015 and no longer have legal effect. Chemical suppliers should comply with the CLP Regulation.

There are certain limited circumstances where CHIP labelling and packaging of mixtures (formerly preparations) can remain on the market after 1 June 2015. Where a mixture has already been classified, labelled and packaged according to CHIP, and placed on the market (‘on-the-shelves’) before 1 June 2015, it does not have to be recalled for re-labelling and re-packaging. This derogation is available until 1 June 2017 .

If these criteria are not met, mixtures placed on the market must comply with the CLP Regulation.

NEW LABLING FOR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures. Adoption within the EU of the Globally Harmonised System

Summary: International symbols are replacing the European symbols, some of these will be similar to the more familiar European ones. One difference is that there is NO single word describing the hazard. The hazard statement on the packaging and safety data sheet will need to be carefully read.

This new UN Globally Harmonised System aims to make all classification etc. of substances standardized the world over to reduce confusion and aid risk reduction measures.

Background: This system was implemented in the EU by the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures Regulation (CLP Regulation) which came into effect 20 January 2009, and is subject to a lengthy transitional period, see table below. Prior to this harmonisation, substances and preparations were classified, labelled and packaged according to the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2009 (CHIP).

Most of the onus is on the Suppliers with regard to CLP but end-users will need to be aware of the changes in phrasing, pictograms and safety data sheets.

Page 25 of 53

Timescales for implementation:

Substances

Date Change 1st December 2010 - 1st June 2015 Suppliers must classify substances according to both CHIP and CLP. They must label and package according to CLP 1st June 20015 onwards Suppliers must classify, label and package according to CLP and CHIP will no longer be used

Mixtures (formerly preparations)

1st December 2010 - 1st June 2015 Suppliers must classify preparations according to CHIP, and may continue to label and package them according to regulations 6 to 11 of CHIP. However they may as an alternative choose to classify, label and package mixtures according to CLP. In this case, they must continue to classify in addition under regulation 4 of CHIP, but the requirements on labelling and packaging in regulations 6 to 11 of CHIP no longer apply. 1st June 2015 onwards Suppliers must classify, label and package according to CLP and CHIP will no longer be used.

What is different?

Basic terminology: The word ‘Preparation’ has been replaced with the word ‘Mixture’.

Pictograms: There are now only 9 pictograms, all a white background with a red diamond frame with the black hazard symbol inside. All pictograms relating to transport are still governed by the Transport of Dangerous Goods Regulations.

These can be viewed below with an approximate translation of old to new

Old Description New Pictogram Hazard class and hazard category: Pictogram

Exploding Unstable explosives Bomb Explosives of Divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 Self-reactive substances and mixtures, Types A,B Organic peroxides, Types A,B

Health Respiratory sensitization, category 1 Hazard Germ cell mutagenicity, categories 1A,1B,2 Carcinogenicity, categories 1A,1B,2 Reproductive toxicity, categories 1A,1B,2 Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Single exposure, categories 1,2 Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Repeated exposure, categories 1,2 Aspiration Hazard, category 1

Environment Hazardous to the aquatic environment - Acute hazard, category1 - Chronic hazard, categories 1,2

Signal words:

Page 27 of 53

Each substance will now have either ‘Danger’ or ‘Warning’ on the label , unless it is deemed of such low hazard to not require one.

Danger = more severe hazards
Warning = less severe hazards

Risk and Safety Phrases: All risk and safety phrases will be replaced by Hazard and Precautionary statements. A full list of risk and safety phrases converted into hazard and precautionary statements can be seen on the EC GHS website as well as on a number of supplier websites.

Hazard statements: There will be standard statements about the nature of hazard and degree of hazard of the substance. Each hazard statement has a corresponding identification code, however this may not be used instead of the written hazard statement on the packaging/safety data sheet and must only be used for reference.

A full list of hazard statements produced by the EC is available on a number of supplier websites.

Precautionary statements: There will be a brief statement to provide measure to undertake to minimise or prevent effects from physical, health or environmental hazards. These include first aid measures and can be a pictogram (see above) or a written statement.

A full list of precautionary statements produced by the EC is available, on a number of supplier websites.

Safety Data Sheets: The word ‘material’ has been removed and these are now known simply as Safety Data Sheets. They will include 16 set headings:

1. Identification 2. Hazard(s) identification 3. Composition/information on ingredients 4. First-aid measures 5. Fire-fighting measures 6. Accidental release measures 7. Handling and storage 8. Exposure controls/personal protection 9. Physical and chemical properties 10. Stability and reactivity 11. Toxicological information 12. Ecological information 13. Disposal considerations 14. Transport information 15. Regulatory information 16. Other information

Full details are available on the UNECE website.

Page 28 of 53

Labels: All labels of substances must conform to the GHS via the CLP. Examples are given on the ECHA website with full details on the UNECE website.

How will this affect me? End-users will start to take receipt of substances with the new packaging from 1st December 2010 and therefore the information in this document should be brought to the attention of all staff who may come into contact with such substances and/or mixtures.

Guidance states that all containers should maintain the suppliers’ label. However, if you decant into smaller containers and these should now be labelled with the new style pictograms and warning statements unless they are too small to usefully hold the information required. This information can be published in another manner deemed suitable, for example on a poster next to the cabinet in which the container is kept. It is suggested that a poster should in any case be kept near to chemical storage

In the interim period until all deadline have passed, you should use the new CLP system of labelling but you may also wish to retain the 'old' labelling to ensure users have all the information at hand they require to work safely.

What about my COSHH risk assessments?

You should not have to re-do COSHH risk assessments because of this new system. All risk or safety phrases will be replaced with equivalent or less severe hazard or precautionary statements. To check the new hazard and precautionary statements against the old risk and safety phrase.

The Storage of Hazardous Substances guidance published by the Health and Safety Department will not change in respect of the CLP Regulations as the guidance is based on the transport classification and signage which have not changed.

Appendix 3 Manual Handling Guidance

1. As a requirement of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 all operations involving manual handling must be assessed. Where the operation is very simple or short duration and not to be repeated then verbal instruction should be sufficient, in all other cases the assessment should be recorded and kept for as long as is relevant. 2. Any assessments made should identify the problems likely to arise and the measures needed to deal with them. An example assessment sheet is included. 3. Once it has been identified that a manual handling task is required, the first course of action to be investigated is ‘can the task be avoided’ i.e. storage of goods nearer the workplace. If the task cannot be avoided, then the next question is ‘can the task be performed by mechanical means’ i.e. employment of a 360° grab-selector to lift off roof trusses from buildings under demolition. 4. Once these have been explored and still a task remains then a more detailed assessment is required. 5. The following factors should be considered to enable suitable and sufficient assessment to be carried out .

6. THE TASKS 6.1 Do they involve? • Holding or manipulating loads at distance from trunk? • unsatisfactory bodily movement or posture, especially: - twisting the trunk? - stooping? - Reaching upwards? • excessive movement of load, especially : - Excessive lifting or lowering distances? - Excessive carrying distances? • Excessive pushing or pulling of loads? • Risk of sudden movement of loads? • Frequent or prolonged physical effort? • Insufficient rest or recovery periods? • Rate of work imposed by a process?

7. THE LOADS 7.1 Are they: • Heavy? • Bulky or unwieldy? • Difficult to grasp? • Unstable, or with contents likely to shift? • Sharp, hot or otherwise potentially damaging?

8. THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT 8.1 Are there: • Space restraints preventing good posture? • Uneven, slippery or unstable floors? • Variations in level of floor or work surface? • Extremes of temperature or humidity? • Conditions causing ventilation problems or gusts of wind? • Poor lighting conditions?

9. INDIVIDUAL CAPABILITY 9.1 Does the job: • Require unusual strength, height etc.? • Create a hazard to those who might reasonably be considered to be pregnant or to have a health problem? • Require special information or training for its safe performance?

Page 38 of 53

10. OTHER FACTORS • Is movement or posture hindered by personal protective equipment or by clothing?

11. REDUCING RISK OF INJURY 11.1 Risk identified in the assessment must be reduced, so far as is reasonably practical, by taking appropriate steps. The effectiveness of these measures should then be monitored. 11.2 Problems should be addressed in a practical way by looking at the same factors of ‘task’, ‘load’, ‘working environment’ and ‘individual capability’. • The task may be made easier by provision of a gin wheel. • The load may be made smaller or lighter by specifying lighter materials i.e. heavy building blocks. • The working environment may be improved by ensuring more space or by keeping platforms free from mud or ice. • An individual’s capability can and should be improved by information and training.

12. HANDLING TECHNIQUES 12.1 The following advice and guidance should be adhered to whenever carrying out manual handling operations. Safe methods of lifting are as important to control risk, as reducing weight etc.

CORRECT METHOD OF LIFTING

1.0 GOOD HANDLING TECHNIQUES 1.1 Good handling techniques are essential in the prevention of injury from manual handling operations. The correct method of lifting is to use the strong leg and thigh muscles and to maintain the lift. The following points should be emphasised in the training programmes and the capability of employees to follow such advice should be considered in making assessments.

2.0 PLAN THE LIFT 2.1 Where is the load to be placed? Use any appropriate handling aids. Do you need help with the load? Ensure there are no obstructions to the lift. For a long lift, such as ground to shoulder height, consider resting the load mid-way, if possible, in order to change grip.

3.0 PLACEMENT OF FEET 3.1 Feet apart, giving a balanced and stable base for lifting. Leading leg as far forward as it is comfortable. Adopt a good posture. Bend the knees so that the hands, when grasping the load, are as nearly level with the waist as possible. Do not kneel or over flex the knees. Keep the back straight (tucking in the chin helps). Lean forward a little over the load if necessary to get a good grip. Keep shoulders level and facing in the same direction as the hips.

4.0 GET A FIRM GRIP 4.1 Try to keep the arms within the boundary formed by the legs. The optimum position and nature of the grip will depend on the circumstances and individual preference, but it must be secure. A hook grip is less fatiguing than keeping the fingers straight. If it is necessary to vary the grip as the lift proceeds, do this as smoothly as possible.

5.0 DO NOT JERK 5.1 Carry out lifting movements smoothly, keeping control of the load.

6.0 MOVE THE FEET 6.1 When turning to the side, move the feet; do not twist the trunk.

Page 39 of 53

7.0 KEEP CLOSE TO THE LOAD 7.1 Keep the load close to the trunk for as long as possible. Keep the heaviest side of the load next to the trunk. If a close approach to the load is not possible, try sliding it towards you before attempting to lift it.

8.0 PUT DOWN, THEN ADJUST 8.1 If precise positioning of the load is necessary, put it down first, then slide it into the required position.

9.0 SQUAT LIFT 9.1 THINK before doing anything. 9.2 STAND as close to the load as possible. Spread your feet to create a stable base (slide the load close if it is on a shelf). 9.3 BEND your knees and keep your back in a natural line. Do not bend your knees fully, as this will leave little power to lift. 9.4 GRASP the load firmly. 9.5 RAISE your head as you start to lift. 9.6 LIFT with your legs. Use your leverage, momentum, balance and timing for a smooth action. Move your feet. 9.7 HOLD the load close to the centre of your body.

10. KINETIC LIFTING 10.1 KEEP THE BACK STRAIGHT - in all acts of lifting the back should be kept as straight as possible. 10.2 USE THE LEG MUSCLES - in most people probably the strongest muscle group in the body. 10.3 KEEP THE LOAD CLOSE TO THE BODY - the further away from the body the greater the increase in mechanical disadvantage. 10.4 KEEP THE ELBOWS CLOSE TO THE SIDE - this avoids unnecessary strain on the upper arm and shoulders. 10.5 USE A PALM GRIP - always try to hold the load in a firm grip. 10.6 POSITION THE FEET - ideally the feet should be about the width of the hips and shoulders apart.
