Dear IOSH Members,

Does anyone have any experience in the above type of project?

I'm meeting the engineers next week and I'd like to be able to ask the most relevant questions.

Any advice or help here is much appreciated.

As it is Friday - I was listening to Radio 2 while reading this and they were playing a Madonna song with the words including "when it all falls, when it all falls down".

You have been warned.

There is a very long list of questions to include;

*Who is ensuring compliance to RR[FS]O during and after the build
*Is the exhaust ventilation system capable and compliant during and after the build
*Security of the surrounding structures during and after the build [as already noted]
*Unexploded bombs [from WW2] in the ground
*Known hazardous chemicals in the ground
*Emergency procedures for the foreseeable and usual areas
*Who is managing the project for the in-house systems & people ditto for the subbies [get a copy of the H&S management system if U can - of those I have seen 90% are poor to say the least]
*How is 'working at height' being managed during and after the build
*How is 'welfare' being managed during and after the build

Etc. etc. as the list goes on

Best of luck

Thanks all for the input.

There is a CDM Coordinator (PSDP), team of engineers, experienced contractor (All with their own safety advisers/personnel) on the project and I now have a comprehensive list of questions to ask. I would like to point out that my role is not going to be making decisions or calling shots in relation to risk assessment or controls, I'm more of a file management /desk jockey
