Posted By Anwar Afzal Having had a recent awareness visit from a local HSE man, it was discussed that it would be recommended to ask contractors who do maintenance work for all method statments and risk assessments, in addition he asked that we also find out what equipment they would be using for working at heights and what training they recieve. We have most of the documentation as generic in place but to have specific would be one hell of a task when our contractors have to do over 60,000 jobs per year and thats just in one of our sectors. What do you guys think?

Posted By Chris Pope This is what a management structure should do for you. You are not allowed to mismanage contractors quality of work surely ? Safety is just another aspect of doing the work to the required standard. Generic method statements will not cover all of the diversity in 60,000 jobs unless you have a rule based system which follows the work at heights hierarchy

Posted By Anwar Afzal Most of the jobs are typical standard jobs and therefore they would suffice with generic ones and where there are specialised work then we would look at more specific but with that amount of work it would be difficult to monitor them all and one might slip the net which could be costly.
