Contractor safety, health and environmental rules
Rank: Forum user 
|
I am in the process of doing out a list of safety, health and environmental rules that a contractor must abide by when carrying out work on our site. They are in point form and have to be signed for by the contractor. Does anyone have a list that they use and would mind sharing with me. Eddy Thanks eddie@bpmckeefry.com

I think you are pushing the limits for this question. You are in the best position to know what you need otherwise may I suggest a consultant could assist.

10. WORK WITH ASBESTOS
11. PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES ON SITE
12. POWER TOOLS
13. FLAME-PRODUCING APPARATUS
14. DEMOLITION
15. NOISE
16. WORK NEAR WATER
17. CONTROL OF SUBSTANCES HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH
18. WORK IN CONFINED SPACES
19 COMPANY ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
20 BRINGING CHEMICALS ON SITE
21 FUELS, OILS & OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

You missed
Transport
Training inc. induction
etc etc :-)
It really highlights how difficult it is to make a response in a vacuum.

Seems a strange question when the answer is in the CMD regs - appendix 2 & 3

The question is about site rules inc. environmental thus appendices 2 & 3 are not strictly relevant

Excellent response by JohnW.
Eddy, presumably you are looking for topics to be included for a site induction as well, just getting the contractor to sign a piece of paper does smack of paper safety. Ok the list may contain generic issues but ideally they should be specific to the tasks, risks and your workplace environment.

Bob Thanks Bob, yes, I have different lists for different customers/contractors, never two customers agree on the same policy/rules. In that example list the site transport rules are included in item 11, as is requirement for certification/competence/training to use vehicles. Safety policies and pre-construction plans will usually outline training/records and requirements for inductions etc. but yes, inductions and toolbox talk schemes should be a 'site rule'. HAVs is missing from that list. Don't think I've ever succeeded in getting contractors to log HAVs trigger times :o/ JohnW
