Hi bricklayer!

As a point in the right direction I would recommend that you contact the following company: 'The Health and Safety People', 16a Market Square, Sandy, Bedfordshire, SG19 1HU.
Telephone 01767 682800. Fax 01767 683883.

I do not know the company on a personal level, but they have provided the Health and Safety Policy Statement, the Health and Safety Procedures and Safe Systems of Work documentation as part of a tender submission on behalf of a short-listed Contractor for building related work.

One final note: You may need to confirm the contact details as the information that I have goes back to April 03.

Regards
Granville

Brickie, have a look at the HSE booklet INDG 324, if it is still available.
and then trawl through their web site for anything else you need.

info in,
indg259 / indg275 / indg232 / indg213 / indg163 / misc136 / hse31

set yourself up a kind of flow chart, and put in job descriptions starting at the bottom through to your top man.

allocate H & S responsibilities, e.g. site agent+ contracts manager for risk assessments, to all job descriptions if necessary

basically you will need someone to carry out,
risk assessments
COSHH assessments
noise assessments
first aid
someone to look after plant and equipment
you will need to train those who require it to ensure they can carry out their responsibilities
fire and evacuations
