Rank: Guest		Posted By Les Mullen Does any any know were i can find information regarding safe working practices for the installation of metal deck flooring in a multi story construction. We are soon to start work with sub-contractors installing this on site and i wish to make sure all the avenues are covered so to speak. Any info will be appreciated. Les

Rank: Guest		Posted By Jonathan Sandler CMIOSH Funny question to ask, but I would have thought that prior to the commencement of the works, the sub-contractor should have provided that information, at least that what CDM states and Man Regs. Regards

Rank: Guest		Posted By Les Mullen Jonathan Thanks for the response and i am aware of their resposibilities under CDM etc. My problem is that i am not presently on that site and will not be untill, probably the day the work begins and i am having difficulty communicating with them to obtain copies of the method statements, risk assesments etc and thought the forum would be a way of brushing up on what to expect them to contain prior to arriving on site

Rank: Guest		Posted By Jonathan Sandler CMIOSH Les, i hope you dont mid the observation points, but why is it down to you to do the chaseing when it should be either the site manager or the contracts manager? But I digress. Issues with metal flooring, is this going into either a domestic property or commercial property? Reason IEE regs, could even come under Part P for domestic, at a push, you have, manual handling, possible LOLER, abrasive wheel, and even hot works permit requirements. Well thats if you go by the letter of the law, are these the issues you are refering to? Regards
