I am after some feedback/guidance etc. on the subject of site set-up. I am thinking along the lines of construction site offices & Welfare Cabins etc. I need to produce a check-sheet/guide that project managers can use that will assist them in setting up the Site Office and Welfare Facilities when they first arrive on site. Although we are not a construction company, we do operate in a similar fashion as we conduct marine outfitting and refurbishment and vessels will be in either a dry or wet dock and it is not always possible to use on board facilities. I have accessed INDG244 and The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations and used the headings in there, which I will expand on to suit our needs, but was wondering if there was anything else that I could refer to.

The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015 set out the minimum welfare facilities for construction sites. The majority of sites just add some office space , secure storage units and an outdoor storage/waste area.Do not like a lot of contractors forget to carry out a fire risk assessment.

Thank you for your pointer. I suppose it should have been my first point of call to be honest..... I am also thinking along the lines of obtaining confirmation of maintenance and statutory inspections for things like FLT, Cranes, Slings and strops. Competence of yard/port personnel assigned to ourselves. Site security, yard/port area inductions, waste (general and haz), medical facilities, vehicles - parking, permits, routes. These in addition to things like welfare cabins for personnel, toilets, washing, changing , rest area, food and drink. Smoking areas I don't want it to be pages and pages, but also want it to be comprehensive enough.

I suggest the start-up checklist should be fairly simple with things like welfare cabins with hot/cold running water, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, etc. HSE poster, F10, first aid box, first aiders, drinking water, etc. Items such as traffic routes, speed restrictions, protecting services, overhead lines, etc should be identified in a separate site wide survey prior to the offices and welfare cabins being installed.
